I am looking for any type of hint to get the ClickThrough Link of a Vast Ad in Android!

Why?

I am using ExoPlayer with ImaAdsSDK and after some investigation I found out that it is not possible to edit the AdView UI like the Learn More Button etc.

My target is to make the complete VideoView clickable because that is the behaviour that is expected on a normal VideoPlayer like in Browsers so the Video ads tell people to click on the player...

If they do nothing happens of course. The learn more button is so small too and in portrait mode hard to reach by hand.

I am wondering if its possible to get the clickthrough link to override the onclick/ontouch of the videoview to make it open a browser?

Hi there,

There are reasons why "Learn More" is used on small devices - usually the video controls are placed there and small device users expect a different behavior on mobile. To get a handle on your concern, are the implementations of the SDK in our Sample apps on Android make for a too small "Learn More" button?
