How to Time an Interstitial Ad?

Example:.

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(Main.this);
    interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.adMobInter));
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
            .addTestDevice(getString(R.string.adMob_test))
            .build();
    interstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);

    interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {


        @Override
        public void onAdLoaded() {
            
               displayInterstitial();
            
        }

        @Override
        public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
            
            onMain();


        }

        @Override
        public void onAdClosed() {
            
            onMain();

        }
    });

}

public void displayInterstitial() {
  
    if (interstitialAd.isLoaded())  {
        interstitialAd.show();

    }
}

public void onMain() {

    setContentView(R.layout.main); }

Fala Francis,

Try to do it that way then:

interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {

    public void onAdLoaded() {
    Handler handler = new Handler(); 
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() { 
        public void run() { 

           @Override
           public void onReceiveAd() {
             //Abriu, ta beleza
           }

           @Override
           public void onFailedToReceiveAd(){
            //Dificuldades para abrir
            startActivity();
           }

           @Override
           public void onAdClosed(){
              Log.d("AD Closed", "Ad closed");
              startActivity();
           }

        } 
    }, 5000);
}

});

Will pass 5 seconds of delay, if falling inside onReceiveAd() It is because opened normally, and after being displayed and closed will fall in onAdClosed(), then just send the user to the app home screen.

If you pass the 5 seconds and haven’t loaded the ad yet, the user will fall into onFailedToReceiveAd(), then just send it to the app home screen, the same way as onAdClosed().

Hugs.

Try the following:

 private InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd;
    Long exibirAte;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // Adicionamos 5 segundos no tempo atual
        Long exibirAte = SystemClock.currentThreadTimeMillis()+5000;
        mInterstitialAd = newInterstitialAd();
        loadInterstitial();

    }


    private InterstitialAd newInterstitialAd() {
        final InterstitialAd interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
        interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.interstitial_ad_unit_id));
        interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAdLoaded() {
                // se a data atual é maior, então já se passaram 5 segundos...
                if(SystemClock.currentThreadTimeMillis() > exibirAte){
                    showInterstitial();
                }
            }

            // Erro! não conseguiu carregar 
            @Override
            public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {}

            @Override
            public void onAdClosed() {
                goToNextLevel();
            }
        });
        return interstitialAd;
    }

    private void showInterstitial() {
        // Mostra o anúncio, se ele está pronto. 
        if (mInterstitialAd != null && mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
            mInterstitialAd.show();
        }
    }

    private void loadInterstitial() {
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
                .setRequestAgent("android_studio:ad_template").build();
        mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
    }

    private void goToNextLevel() {
        mInterstitialAd = newInterstitialAd();
        loadInterstitial();
    }
