Buffering callbacks in DAI - Android

[Chilakala Vishnu]

Hello Team IMA,

We realised that there is no `onAdBuffering` method on `VideoStreamPlayerCallback`. I tried to check for any equivalent method, but could not find any. Is there a way that I can tell IMA that my ad is buffering, so that the AD_BUFFERING or any other equivalent method is triggered?

Hi Vishnu,

Thank you for reaching out to the IMA SDK Support team.

You're correct—currently, the VideoStreamPlayer.VideoStreamPlayerCallback interface does not include a specific onAdBuffering callback. 

You can listen for this event using the AdEventListener on the AdsManager object

adsManager.addAdEventListener(new AdEvent.AdEventListener() {

  @Override

  public void onAdEvent(AdEvent adEvent) {

    switch (adEvent.getType()) {

      case AD_BUFFERING:

        Log.i(LOGTAG, "Ad is buffering...");

        break;

    }

  }

});

The AD_BUFFERING event is triggered by the SDK when it detects buffering during ad playback.Kindly get back to us with screen recording video if AD_BUFFERING does not trigger.
