Interstitial Ad Format
Full-screen ads that cover the entire app interface. Includes both image and video ads (video more common), typically skippable after 5 seconds.
How It Works
Integrating Ads
1
Create adUnit
val adUnit = DaroInterstitialAdUnit(
key = ${AdUnitId},
placement = ${placement}, // Name displayed in logs. Can be left empty.
)
2
Create Loader and load ad
val loader = DaroInterstitialAdLoader(
context = context,
adUnit = adUnit
)
loader.setListener(object : DaroInterstitialAdLoaderListener {
override fun onAdLoadSuccess(ad: DaroInterstitialAd, adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
// ...
}
override fun onAdLoadFail(err: DaroAdLoadError) {
// ...
}
})
loader.load()
3
Set listener and show ad
loader.setListener(object : DaroInterstitialAdLoaderListener {
override fun onAdLoadSuccess(ad: DaroInterstitialAd, adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
ad.setListener(object : DaroInterstitialAdListener {
override fun onAdImpression(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {}
override fun onAdClicked(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {}
override fun onShown(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {}
override fun onFailedToShow(adInfo: DaroAdInfo, error: DaroAdDisplayFailError) {}
override fun onDismiss(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {}
})
ad.show(activity = this@MainActivity)
}
override fun onAdLoadFail(err: DaroAdLoadError) {}
})
4
Call destroy after ad viewing is complete
ad.destroy()
Example
private fun showInterstitialAd() {
DaroInterstitialAdLoader(
context = context,
adUnit = DaroInterstitialAdUnit(
key = ${AdUnitId},
placement = ${placement},
),
).apply {
setListener(
object : DaroInterstitialAdLoaderListener {
override fun onAdLoadSuccess(
ad: DaroInterstitialAd,
adInfo: DaroAdInfo,
) {
Log.d("Ad Test", "interstitial - success")
ad.setListener(object : DaroInterstitialAdListener {
override fun onAdImpression(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
Log.d("Ad Test", "interstitial - impression")
}
override fun onAdClicked(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
Log.d("Ad Test", "interstitial - clicked")
}
override fun onShown(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
Log.d("Ad Test", "interstitial - onShown")
}
override fun onFailedToShow(
adInfo: DaroAdInfo,
error: DaroAdDisplayFailError,
) {
Log.d("Ad Test", "interstitial - onFailedToShow")
}
override fun onDismiss(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
Log.d("Ad Test", "interstitial - onDismiss")
ad.destroy()
}
})
ad.show(activity = this@MainActivity)
}
override fun onAdLoadFail(err: DaroAdLoadError) {
Log.d("Ad Test", "interstitial - fail : ${err.message}")
}
}
)
load()
}
}
Troubleshooting: Ad Close Button Overlap Issue
When displaying interstitial ads using the DARO Android SDK, some ad creatives may visually overlap with the Status Bar or display cutout (notch, punch-hole) area.
The following guide shows how to hide the Status Bar only while the ad is displayed and restore it once the ad is dismissed.
// Before showing ad - hide status bar
private fun hideStatusBar(activity: Activity) {
WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(activity.window, false)
WindowInsetsControllerCompat(activity.window, activity.window.decorView).apply {
hide(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.statusBars())
systemBarsBehavior = WindowInsetsControllerCompat.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE
}
}
// After ad closes - restore status bar
private fun showStatusBar(activity: Activity) {
WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(activity.window, true)
WindowInsetsControllerCompat(activity.window, activity.window.decorView).apply {
show(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.statusBars())
}
}
ad.setListener(object : DaroInterstitialAdListener {
override fun onAdImpression(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {}
override fun onAdClicked(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {}
override fun onShown(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
hideStatusBar(activity) // Defensive re-hide
}
override fun onFailedToShow(adInfo: DaroAdInfo, error: DaroAdDisplayFailError) {
showStatusBar(activity) // Restore on failure
}
override fun onDismiss(adInfo: DaroAdInfo) {
showStatusBar(activity) // Restore on dismiss
ad.destroy()
}
})
hideStatusBar(activity) // Call just before show()
ad.show(activity = this@MainActivity)
