Rewarded Interstitials and Open Ads PaidEventListener on Android

[Shmulik Armon]

Hey,

We have implemented both said features on iOS and Android - on iOS setOnPaidEventListener is called as expected.

On Android however, we have an issue with each ad type:

For open ads the class does inherit setOnPaidEventListener but the callback is never fired.

For rewarded interstitials the ad type class does not even inherit setOnPaidEventListener.

We are aware both features are in beta, but can we expect this to be added at some point? We rely on this data for BI.

We have tried this on 19.5.0 and down.

Thanks,

Shmulik.

Hi,

There cannot be a sample for this since the API does not exist... If you take a look at App Open Ads on Android you will see that the AppOpenAd class does not have a method called setOnPaidEventListener like other ad type classes such as InterstitialAd...

I know this ad type is in beta, but I'm not sure if this will be added in the future or if maybe I'm missing something in the documentation.

Thanks,

Hi Shmulik,

Thank you for your message.

Each ad format including the interstitial has an OnPaidEventListener. During the lifecycle of an ad event, the SDK monitors paid events and invokes the handler with an earned value. You set this handler after initializing an ad and before showing it. You can check out the link below the method summary (which includes setOnPaidEventListener) with regard to the paid event listener for interstitial ads.

https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/interstitial/InterstitialAd?hl=en#public-method-summary


Let me know if the above works for you.

Hey,

As you said, this is how it should be, however, the class for admob open ads is AppOpenAd, here is its API, which is missing setOnPaidEventListener -

https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/appopen/AppOpenAd

Is there a different class I should be using?

Hi Shmulik,

Thank you for the response back. I work along with Sherwin and will be helping you today. Having looked over the thread. I see we suggested the following link. Which as you see, will bring you to all the public methods available for this. When you scroll down you will see that the 3rd method is the one you are looking for.

Also here is the documentation for the implementation from the Admob pages. With an example walk-thru.

Hi,

You keep showing me examples and talking about interstitial ads while I am talking about app open ads... if you have an example of the app open ads with this API please share with me...

Thanks,

Hi Shmulik,

Thank you for the response back. One last question to ask. Have you tried to use the setOnPaidEventListener in the AppOpenAd? And if so is showing as an error? Looking to see if this is missing documentation or the method is actually missing from the API.

Also if it is not included in the API, this may be as it is still in Beta and will only be included as it gets closer to release. Or further along into development.

I've tried and it doesn't exist which is why I opened this post... So I can take what you said here as the official response for this issue? That it doesn't exist because its in beta?

Thanks,

Hi Shmulik,

Thank you for the response back. Allow me to bring this to my team to look more into as we will need to know why there is the difference with APIs regarding this method. As I stated before, this "... may be ...." due to the Beta status, but need to get clarification. And thus want to look more into this so as to give you a more detailed explanation.

Hi there,

In the latest SDK, rewarded interstitial now has the paid event listener - https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/rewardedinterstitial/RewardedInterstitialAd#setOnPaidEventListener(com.google.android.gms.ads.OnPaidEventListener)

Thanks,
