Question about Timed out waiting for ad response. Scheduling ad refresh 60000 milliseconds from now.

[Laurence Werner]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to change the "reaction" of when an ad request times out waiting for ad response.

I would like for onAdFailedToLoad() in AdListenner to be called immediately after the ad request times out (or perhaps 5000ms after).

More specifically:

I am trying to get a custom activity to launch when the original request for my interstitial fails

interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener()
 {
 @Override
 public void onAdLoaded()
 {
 displayInterstitial();
 super.onAdLoaded();
 }
 
 @Override
 public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode)
 {
 Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
 FailToLoadActivity.class);
 startActivity(intent);
 super.onAdFailedToLoad(errorCode);
 }


 });

I would like this custom activity to launch when:

- users are using adblocker

- users are not connected to internet

(which, I suppose, is pretty much the same thing as if I am not mistaken adblockers simply prevent communication with the adserver?)

Thank you!

Already answered on StackOverflow.

Basically don't call #displayInterstitial from AdListener#onAdReceived. It is almost certainly causing your pain and also provides a very poor user experience.
