Interstitial Ads

This guide shows how to display Interstitial Ads in your application.

What are Interstitial Ads?

Interstitial Ad Units are full-screen, interactive ads designed to be placed between content at a natural transition point.

How to Display Interstitial Ads

Integrate & Initialize HyprMX

Before you start, make sure you have correctly integrated and initialized the HyprMX SDK. To integrate and initialize HyprMX, see our Setup Guide.

Loading Interstitial Ads

HyprMX utilizes placements to load and display an ad. Placements are used to represent a point in your application's workflow where you'd like to show an ad. To load an ad to a placement, follow the steps below.
If you don't have your placement information, please reach out to your account manager to configure your interstitial placements. In return, they will provide the names of the new placements.
1. To show an advertisement, use the getPlacement API to retrieve a placement from HyprMX, then set a placementListener.
Java
Kotlin
interstitialPlacement = HyprMX.INSTANCE.getPlacement("YOUR_INTERSTITIAL_PLACEMENT_NAME");
interstitialPlacement.setPlacementListener(this);
interstitialPlacement = HyprMX.getPlacement("YOUR_INTERSTITIAL_PLACEMENT_NAME")
interstitialPlacement.setPlacementListener(this@MainActivity)
2. To check for availability, run the following:
Java
Kotlin
interstitialPlacement.loadAd();
interstitialPlacement.loadAd()
loadAd() will call back to your placementListener with:
  • onAdAvailable when an ad is available.
  • onAdNotAvailable when there is no inventory.
3. To receive ad load and display status, implement the PlacementListener:
Java
Kotlin
/**
* Called when an ad is shown for the given placement. Your application should pause here.
*/
@Override
public void onAdStarted(Placement placement) {}
/**
* Called when an ad is available for the given placement.
*/
@Override
public void onAdAvailable(Placement placement) {}
/**
* Called when an ad is closed. Your application should resume here.
*/
@Override
public void onAdClosed(Placement placement, boolean finished) {}
/**
* Called when there was an error displaying the ad.
*/
@Override
public void onAdDisplayError(Placement placement, HyprMXErrors hyprMXError) {}
/**
* Called when no ad is available for the given placement.
*/
@Override
public void onAdNotAvailable(Placement placement) {}
/**
* The loaded ad has expired. Please load ad again on this placement when you expect to show
*/
@Override
public void onAdExpired(Placement placement) {}
/**
* Called when an ad is shown for the given placement. Your application should pause here.
*/
override fun onAdStarted(placement: Placement) {}
/**
* Called when an ad is available for the given placement.
*/
override fun onAdAvailable(placement: Placement) {}
/**
* Called when an ad is closed. Your application should resume here.
*/
override fun onAdClosed(placement: Placement, finished: Boolean) {}
/**
* Called when there was an error displaying the ad.
*/
override fun onAdDisplayError(placement: Placement, hyprMXError: HyprMXErrors) {}
/**
* Called when no ad is available for the given placement.
*/
override fun onAdNotAvailable(placement: Placement) {}
/**
* Called when the user should be rewarded for the given rewarded placement.
*/
override fun onAdRewarded(placement: Placement, rewardName: String, rewardValue: Int) {}
/**
* The loaded ad has expired. Please load ad again on this placement when you expect to show
*/
override fun onAdExpired(placement:Placement) {}

Displaying Interstitial Ads

1. Before calling showAd on a placement you should confirm the ad state is still valid:
Java
Kotlin
interstitialPlacement.isAdAvailable();
interstitialPlacement.isAdAvailable()
When an ad is displaying, it is important to disable all in-game music and sounds so they do not interfere with the advertisements. You can disable them when your activity transitions to onStop and resume when your activity transitions to onResume.
2. When you are ready to display an ad, call showAd to begin the presentation of an ad.
Java
Kotlin
if (interstitialPlacement.isAdAvailable()) {
interstitialPlacement.showAd();
}
if (interstitialPlacement.isAdAvailable()) {
interstitialPlacement.showAd()
}
The placement will call back to your placementListener to provide you state on the ad display:
  • onAdStarted is called immediately before attempting to present the ad to the UI.
  • onAdClosed is called when the ad is closed.
  • onAdDisplayError is called when an error occurs presenting the ad, and will be followed by onAdClosed
  • onAdExpired called when the loaded advertisement is no longer available to show.
If you'd like, we can send server-to-server calls when ads are completed. Contact your account manager at HyprMX for more details.
