Interstitial ads

Interstitial ads are full-screen or full-page ads that temporarily cover an app’s interface. They’re typically shown at natural pauses or transition points—such as after completing a level in a game or when navigating between major views.

The following sections show you how to load and then show an interstitial ad.

Loading an interstitial ad

The following code shows you how to load the first interstitial:

local interstitial_ad_unit_ids = {
  android = "«android-ad-unit-ID»",
  ios = "«ios-ad-unit-ID»"
}

function initialize_interstitial_ads()
  local ad_unit_id

  local sysinfo = sys.get_sys_info()
  if sysinfo.system_name == "Android" then
    ad_unit_id = interstitial_ad_unit_ids["android"]
  elseif sysinfo.system_name == "iPhone OS" then
    ad_unit_id = interstitial_ad_unit_ids["ios"]
  end

  applovin.load_interstitial(ad_unit_id)

-- Interstitial Ad Callbacks
local function applovin_callback(self, name, params)
  if name == "OnInterstitialAdLoadedEvent" then
  -- Interstitial ad is ready to be shown. applovin.is_interstitial_ready(ad_unit_id) will now return true

  if name == "OnInterstitialAdLoadFailedEvent" then
⋮

if name == "OnInterstitialAdDisplayedEvent" then
⋮

if name == "OnInterstitialAdDisplayFailedEvent" then
⋮

if name == "OnInterstitialAdClickedEvent" then
⋮

if name == "OnInterstitialAdHiddenEvent" then
⋮

if name == "OnInterstitialAdRevenuePaidEvent" then
⋮
