Events as function props

Corresponding to Ad lifecycle event callbacks

Prop
adViewDidReceiveAd()
didFailToReceiveAdWithError(errorDescription)
adViewWillPresentScreen()
adViewWillDismissScreen()
adViewDidDismissScreen()
adViewWillLeaveApplication()

PublisherBanner

Same as AdMobBanner, except it has an extra event prop:

|'admobDispatchAppEvent()' |

This handles App events that Admob/DFP can send back to the app. More info here: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/dfp/android/banner#ios_app-events

AdMobInterstitials

Methods

Name	Description
setAdUnitID(adUnitID)	sets the AdUnit ID for all future ad requests.
setTestDeviceID(deviceID)	sets the test device ID
requestAd(callback)	requests an interstitial and calls callback when interstitialDidLoad orinterstitialDidFailToLoad event fires
showAd(callback)	shows an interstitial if it is ready and calls callback when interstitialDidOpen event fires
isReady(callback)	calls callback with boolean whether interstitial is ready to be shown

For simulators/emulators you can use 'EMULATOR' for the test device ID.
Note: tryShowNewInterstitial() is deprecated as of v1.1.0 and can be replaced by calling requestAd with showAd as callback.

Events

Unfortunately, events are not consistent across iOS and Android. To have one unified API, new event names are introduced for pairs that are roughly equivalent.

iOS	this library	Android
interstitialDidReceiveAd	interstitialDidLoad	onAdLoaded
interstitial:didFailToReceiveAdWithError	interstitialDidFailToLoad	onAdFailedToLoad
interstitialWillPresentScreen	interstitialDidOpen	onAdOpened
interstitialDidFailToPresentScreen
interstitialWillDismissScreen
interstitialDidDismissScreen	interstitialDidClose	onAdClosed
interstitialWillLeaveApplication	interstitialWillLeaveApplication	onAdLeftApplication

Note that interstitialWillLeaveApplication and onAdLeftApplication are not exactly the same but share one event in this library.

AdMobRewarded

Opens a rewarded AdMob ad.

Methods

Name	Description
setAdUnitID(adUnitID)	sets the AdUnit ID for all future ad requests.
setTestDeviceID(deviceID)	sets the test device ID
requestAd(callback)	requests a rewarded ad
showAd(callback)	shows a rewarded if it is ready

TODO

• Support Ad Targeting
• Also use interstitial event names for banner
• PublisherBanner [DFPBanner/PublisherAdView should be able to accept multiple adSizes. Currently only caters for a single size]
