Is there a way to get the target URL and the HTML Content from an AdMob Ad

[Simon Lasslop]

Hello. Pretty much like explained in the subject. I am adding the AdMob SDK to my iOS App but I don't want to leave the app when a user clicks an ad banner.

I want to redirect to an In-App Browser and stay im my app.

Thank you and regards.

No, there isn't a way to do this.  It's not something our SDK supports.

Hi Andrew,

is there a way to support the click handling for DFP customers via the adUnit targetWindow in the future? So we can decide if we want to open the link externally or internally. I know it works with custom templates via google mobile app api, but we also have many 3rd Party ad Serving systems which deliver standard <a href> There was also no announcement before when you changed it in the SDKs.

I do know that our engineers are actively looking at ways in which we can give publishers the option to control whether clicks are handled in-app or via the external browser.  I do not have any details at the current time, though.

Good to know. Please keep in mind that we still need the option via the google admob api. Only the default way should be changable. As I said one option would be to handle this in the adUnits like you do for only via the target parameter. _blank could be equal to other browser window. _self could be in-app browser.
