You can show interstitial in many different places but we are going to discuss not where but how to show it. But first let’s explain a crucial concept.

After Interstitial Explained

Load & Show the Ad

Consider To reiterate, this is not passed as a separated object like the other Events because is mandatory to handle what happens after an Interstitial is closed. This is invoked in the SDK when:

• Everything went right and the user just closed the full screen ad.

• The ad hasn't loaded yet and you tried to show it.

• The ad has been Invalidated and you tried to show it. Gets invalidated when:

  • Fails to load.

  • Already shown.

  • Too Long without showing it.

• The ad failed to show.

Load → wait → Show on Event

This way is much more efficient since the show is immediate as the user performs the action.

So consider a scenario where a button click triggers an Interstitial and, subsequently, the NewActivity is launched from MainActivity.

Load

Load then wait for the user to take an action on your app

#MainActivity.kt->onCreate()
val interstitialConfigId = ConfigBuilder.INTERSTITIAL_TEST_R89_CONFIG_ID
val activityToShowOver = this

var interstitialId = RefineryAdFactory.createInterstitial(
interstitialConfigId, 
activityToShowOver, 
afterInterstitial = {
    // Here you could load the next activity or fragment. Basically recover app flow
    Log.d("Interstitial", "After Interstitial")
    //Example
    val newActivityIntent = Intent(this, NewActivity::class.java)
    startActivity(newActivityIntent)
})

Show On Button Press

First some Some event takes place in you app, such as a button press, tab change or opening a link, screen transition.

#MainActivity.kt->onCreate()
//Example of a button press
findViewById<Button>(<YOUR_BUTTON_ID>).setOnClickListener
{
    RefineryAdFactory.show(interstitialId)
}

Load & Show on

...

Event

...

#MainActivity.kt

private fun createInterstitial()
{
	val interstitialAdIdinterstitialConfigId = ConfigBuilder.INTERSTITIAL_TEST_R89_CONFIG_ID
	val lifecycleEvents = object : InterstitialEventListener
	{
		/* 
		 * We need to call show on the onLoaded event and on the OnFailedToLoad event,
		 * this is to show the ad in both cases so the afterInterstitial event is called
		 */
		override fun onLoaded()
		{
			RefineryAdFactory.show(interstitialId)
		}

		override fun onFailedToLoad(error: R89LoadError)
		{
			RefineryAdFactory.show(interstitialId)
		}
		....
	}

	interstitialId = RefineryAdFactory.createInterstitial(
		interstitialAdIdinterstitialConfigId , 
		this,
		afterInterstitial = {
			Log.d("Interstitial", "After Interstitial")
		},
		lifecycleCallbacks = lifecycleEvents
	)

}

Lifecycle Events

You can subscribe to these events with the same method but passing a new object as a parameter. Details about this object can be found in the Reference.

OnClose is not present because we have an after interstitial event that is mandatory to pass as a parameter and holds the same functionality that OnClose with special cases.

This is not passed as a separated object like the other Events because is mandatory to handle what happens after an Interstitial is closed. This is invoked in the SDK when:

...

Everything went right and the user just closed the full screen ad.

The ad hasn't loaded yet and you tried to show it.

The ad has been Invalidated and you tried to show it. Gets invalidated when:

• Fails to load.

• Already shown.

• Too Long without showing it.
