Show a progress Bar when Rewarded video Ads is loading

I want to use Rewarded video ads (Admob) but I want to show a progress bar while the video ads is loading
I already try to did it with async task just to see if the video will load but it didn't work

     @SuppressLint("StaticFieldLeak")
    public class videoAd extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

        @Override
        protected void doInBackground(Void... voids) {

            runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    mRewardedVideoAd.loadAd("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917", new AdRequest.Builder().build());
                }
            });
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Integer integer) {
            super.onPostExecute(integer);
            if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()){

                Toast.makeText(SetFullWallpaper.this, "Video loaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                mRewardedVideoAd.show();
            }
        }
    }

Now I want to load a progress bar if the video is not loaded yet
Thank you

Solution

  • This is how I did it:

    I had a button, which when clicked showed the ad, so I had a boolean variable which tracked whether the button has been clicked:

    boolean buttonClicked = false

    These lines were in my onCreate function:

        mRewardedVideoAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(getContext());
    rewardedVideoAdListener = new RewardedVideoAdListener() {
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
            if(buttonClicked) {
                showAd();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {

        }

        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {

        }

        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
            loadRewardedVideoAd();
        }

        @Override
        public void onRewarded(RewardItem rewardItem) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {

        }

        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int i) {
            if(buttonClicked) {
                progressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Please try again later", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
                toast.show();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {

        }
    };

    mRewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(rewardedVideoAdListener);

    loadRewardedVideoAd();

    pointsButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                showAd();
            }
        });

    This was my showAd function:

    public void showAd(){
    if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
        progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        mRewardedVideoAd.show();
        buttonClicked = false;
    } else {
        loadRewardedVideoAd();
        progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        buttonClicked = true;
    }
}

    How this works is, the app tries to load the ad in the background by calling the loadRewaredVideoAd() function when the activity/fragment is created. Then when the user clicks the button,showAd() function is called and one of two things happen:
