Rewarded Video ad is full-screen ads that cover the whole UI of the app. The eCPM (Effective Cost Per Mille) of Rewarded Video ads are relatively higher than banner and Interstitial ads and also leads to higher CTR(Click Through Rate) which results in more earning from your app.
The user gets an in-App reward when they watch the Rewarded Video from start to end. This type of ad is mostly used in games and also can be used in the app.
STEPS
1.Create a new project in android studio
2.Add the following dependancy in your gradle script,app level
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.3.0'3.In AndroidManifests.xml add the following Permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET2/>
4.Add the following meta data inside <application> tag
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713"/>
5.Add a button in activity_main.xml so that when the user clicks on it it shows the ad
Your activity_main.xml code should appear as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<Button android:id="@+id/btnShowAdd"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Show Rewarded Ad"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>6.In MainActivity.java do the following:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button btnShowAd;
// creating object of RewardedVideoAd
private RewardedVideoAd AdMobrewardedVideoAd;
// AdMob Rewarded Video Ad Id
private String AdId="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btnShowAd = findViewById(R.id.btnShowAdd);
MobileAds.initialize(this);
loadRewardedVideoAd();
btnShowAd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showRewardedVideoAd();
}
});
}
void loadRewardedVideoAd() {
// initializing RewardedVideoAd Object
// RewardedVideoAd Constructor Takes Context as its Argument
AdMobrewardedVideoAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(this);
// Loading Rewarded Video Ad
//AdMobrewardedVideoAd.loadAd(AdId, new AdRequest().Builder().build());
}
public void showRewardedVideoAd(){
if(AdMobrewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()){
// showing Video Ad
AdMobrewardedVideoAd.show();
}else{
// Loading Rewarded Video Ad
AdMobrewardedVideoAd.loadAd(AdId, new AdRequest.Builder().build());
}
// Rewarded Video Ad Listener
AdMobrewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(new RewardedVideoAdListener() {
@Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
// Showing Toast Message
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "onRewardedVideoAdLoaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
// Showing Toast Message
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"onRewardedVideoAdOpened", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
// Showing Toast Message
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Reward video started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
// Showing Toast Message
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Reward video closed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onRewarded(com.google.android.gms.ads.reward.RewardItem rewardItem) {
}
@Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
// Showing Toast Message
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int i) {
// Showing Toast Message
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Failed To Load", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {
// Showing Toast Message
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Rewarded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}NOTE:We have used test ids for admob,create your own app id at https://admob.google.com/home/.
Run your code and everything should running.
