How to show interstitial ads?

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        //Log.v("SDL", "onCreate()");
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
        interstitial.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-2188258702xxxxxxxxxxx");


        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
                .addTestDevice("XXXXXXXXXXXXX")
                .build();

        interstitial.loadAd(adRequest);

        // So we can call stuff from static callbacks
        mSingleton = this;

        // Set up the surface
        mEGLSurface = EGL10.EGL_NO_SURFACE;
        mSurface = new SDLSurface(getApplication());

        mLayout = new AbsoluteLayout(this);
        mLayout.addView(mSurface);

        setContentView(mLayout);

    }




public void displayInterstitial() {
    if (interstitial.isLoaded()) {
      interstitial.show();
    }
  }

I use sdl2 for android, and I trying to show interstitial ads in my app, but it's doesn't show. If I comment this line setContentView(mLayout); and call displayinterstitial() all works fine, except all sdl native content(screen is black):-)

And question is How to make work interstitial ads with sdl on android?

Solution

It seems that you have not mentioned: displayInterstitial(), anywhere in onCreate() Method, You sure the code execution reaches the displayInterstitial() method?

Also, you will have some point where the code returns after the ad has been fully loaded and ready to display. Such as:

@Override
  public void onReceiveAd(Ad ad) {
    Log.d("OK", "Received ad");
    if (ad == interstitial) {
      interstitial.show();
    }
  }
