package gnu.airhonkamplify.android;

 

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdListener;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd;

 

import android.app.Activity;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.ImageView;

 

import java.util.Timer;

import java.util.TimerTask;

 

/**

* Displays a splash screen image while and loads an interstitial before starting the application.

*/

public class SplashScreenActivity extends Activity {

// How long in milliseconds to wait for the interstitial to load.

privatestaticfinalintWAIT_TIME = 5000;

 

// Your interstitial ad unit ID.

privatestaticfinal String AD_UNIT_ID = “a15034d40fb4a40″;

 

private InterstitialAd interstitial;

private Timer waitTimer;

privatebooleaninterstitialCanceled = false;

 

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

 

ImageView image = new ImageView(this);

image.setImageResource(R.drawable.splash);

setContentView(image);

 

interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);

interstitial.setAdUnitId(AD_UNIT_ID);

interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {

@Override

public void onAdLoaded() {

// If the interstitial was canceled due to a timeout or an app being sent to the background,

// don’t show the interstitial.

if (!interstitialCanceled) {

waitTimer.cancel();

interstitial.show();

}

}

 

@Override

public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {

// The interstitial failed to load. Start the application.

startMainActivity();

}

});

interstitial.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());

 

waitTimer = new Timer();

waitTimer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

@Override

public void run() {

interstitialCanceled = true;

SplashScreenActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

@Override

public void run() {

// The interstitial didn’t load in a reasonable amount of time. Stop waiting for the

// interstitial, and start the application.

startMainActivity();

}

});

}

}, WAIT_TIME);

}

 

@Override

public void onPause() {

// Flip the interstitialCanceled flag so that when the user comes back they aren’t stuck inside

// the splash screen activity.

waitTimer.cancel();

interstitialCanceled = true;

super.onPause();

}

 

@Override

public void onResume() {

super.onResume();

if (interstitial.isLoaded()) {

// The interstitial finished loading while the app was in the background. It’s up to you what

// the behavior should be when they return. In this example, we show the interstitial since

// it’s ready.

interstitial.show();

} elseif (interstitialCanceled) {

// There are two ways the user could get here:

//

// 1. After dismissing the interstitial

// 2. Pressing home and returning after the interstitial finished loading.

//

// In either case, it’s awkward to leave them in the splash screen activity, so just start the

// application.

startMainActivity();

}

}

 

/**

* Starts the application’s {@link MainActivity}.

*/

private void startMainActivity() {

Intent intent = new Intent(this, AdMobActivity.class);

startActivity(intent);

finish();

}

}

 

Step 2: Add the drawable folder and the splash.png images.



 

Step 3. Add the .SplashScreenActivity in the AndroidManifest.xml and intent-filter as start up.

 

<activity

android:name=“.SplashScreenActivity”

android:label=“@string/app_name”>

<intent-filter>

<actionandroid:name=“android.intent.action.MAIN”/>

<categoryandroid:name=“android.intent.category.LAUNCHER”/>

</intent-filter>

</activity>



 

Step 4: Run the code.
