Integrate App Open Ads

To integrate any ad format, you must first have completed the instructions in the basic integration article.

App Open ad is a type of mobile advertisement designed to appear when a user opens a mobile app. These ads are full-screen and are typically displayed in a transition moment, such as when an app is launched or brought to the foreground.

Create and Load an App Open Ad

KotlinJava
import com.vungle.ads.InterstitialAd
private var interstitialAd: InterstitialAd? = null
interstitialAd = InterstitialAd(requireContext(), placementId, AdConfig().apply {
}).apply {
 adListener = this@InterstitialFragment
 load()
}

Play an App Open Ad

  1. Once the App Open ad is successfully loaded, you can display it by calling:

    KotlinJava
    if (interstitialAd?.canPlayAd() == true) {
     interstitialAd?.play()
    }
    
  2. During the time the App Open ad is visible to the user, you can listen for ad lifecycle events through delegate callback methods (refer to the Register for Callbacks section below).

  3. The ad is closed when the user closes it. You do not need to add steps in your code to close it.

Register for Callbacks

To receive notifications for ad events, declare conformance to InterstitialAdListener protocol and implement callback methods.

KotlinJava
override fun onAdLoaded(baseAd: BaseAd) {
Log.d(TAG, "Creative id:" + baseAd.creativeId)
}

override fun onAdStart(baseAd: BaseAd) {
}

override fun onAdImpression(baseAd: BaseAd) {
}

override fun onAdEnd(baseAd: BaseAd) {
}

override fun onAdClicked(baseAd: BaseAd) {
}

override fun onAdLeftApplication(baseAd: BaseAd) {
}

override fun onAdFailedToLoad(baseAd: BaseAd, adError: VungleError) {
}

override fun onAdFailedToPlay(baseAd: BaseAd, adError: VungleError) {
}

The following table lists all the available AdConfig options:

Option Description
setAdOrientation AdConfig.AUTO_ROTATE: Video ad will rotate to match device orientation
AdConfig.LANDSCAPE:Force video ad to play in landscape orientation
AdConfig.PORTRAIT: Force video ad to play in portrait orientation
setBackButtonImmediatelyEnabled Sets whether the Android back button will be immediately enabled during the video ad, or will be inactive until the on screen close button appears (this latter is the default).
setWatermark Add watermark for ads. Usually this method will be called by mediation.

Test an App Open Ad

You can test an App Open ad in one of two ways: by setting your app status to Test Mode so that Vungle can deliver test ads to your app, or by adding a test device to your app so that Vungle can deliver test ads specifically to the test device. Follow the instructions in Test Your Integration: Test Mode and Test Devices.
