How to stop a DoubleClick interstitial

[Saïmiris]

I need to display a DoubleClick interstitial on Activity A and a simple DoubleClick banner on Activity B, and I need to display the interstitial during only 3 seconds and then go to Activity B (in case the use doesn't click on the interstitial close button).

Both interstitial and banner are currently displaying fine expect when I'm waiting these 3 seconds : in that case, the simple banner on Activity B doesn't show anymore on Activity B and I get this log :

loadAd called while an interstitial or landing page is displayed, so aborting

It seems that the only way to properly "undisplay" an interstitial is passing through the onDismissScreen function, but I can't do that neither.

My code is this one

@Override
public void onPresentScreen(Ad ad)
{
    if (ad == interstitial_ad)
    {
        // 3-second timer
        Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                 startActivity(new Intent("Activity B"));
            }
        }, 3000);
    }
}

I already tried all these possibilities

if (interstitial_ad != null)
{
    interstitial_ad.stopLoading();
    interstitial_ad.loadAd(null);
    interstitial_ad.setAdListener(null);
    interstitial_ad = null;
}

and nothing works.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

Once you have displayed an interstitial it is out of your hands.

It is entirely up to the user to choose when to dismiss it.

You need to adjust your business logic to work with that.
