Android Admob InterstitialAd Deprecated

Question

After updating com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads to 19.7.0 it says InterstitialAd & RewardedVideoAd & UnifiedNativeAdView deprecated.

can anyone help ?

Answer 1

after a quick search, I found that we need to use

public abstract class InterstitialAd extends Object

instead of

public final class InterstitialAd extends Object

so you need to use:

com.google.android.gms.ads.interstitial.InterstitialAd

instead of:

come.google.android.gms.ads

and this is how we interact with the new package:

public class AdManager 
{
    private var interstitialAd: InterstitialAd? = null
    private var mRewardedVideoAd: RewardedAd? = null
    private var currentNativeAd: NativeAd? = null
    private var builder: AdLoader.Builder? = null



    init {
        RequestConfiguration.Builder().setTestDeviceIds(
            listOf(
                AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR,
                "CE88B9A1CB213EEEA19A2F7E54993908"
            )
        )
    }
    // Create a full screen content callback.
    val fullScreenContentCallback = object : FullScreenContentCallback() {
        override fun onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent(p0: AdError) {
            super.onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent(p0)
        }

        override fun onAdShowedFullScreenContent() {
            super.onAdShowedFullScreenContent()
        }

        override fun onAdDismissedFullScreenContent() {
            super.onAdDismissedFullScreenContent()
            interstitialAd = null
            mRewardedVideoAd = null
        }

    }

    fun createInterstitialAd(context: Context) {
     
            InterstitialAd.load(
                context,
                BuildConfig.ADMOB_AD_INTERSTITIAL_UNIT_ID,
                request.build(),
                object : InterstitialAdLoadCallback() {
                    override fun onAdLoaded(ad: InterstitialAd) {
                        interstitialAd = ad
                        interstitialAd?.fullScreenContentCallback = fullScreenContentCallback
                    }

                })
        }
    }

    fun getFullScreenAd(): InterstitialAd? {
        return interstitialAd
    }

    fun getVideoAd(): RewardedAd? {
        return mRewardedVideoAd
    }

    fun loadRewardedVideoAd(context: Context) {
        if (!userManager.getCurrentUser().isPremium) {
            val request = AdRequest.Builder()
     

            RewardedAd.load(
                context,
                BuildConfig.ADMOB_AD_VIDEO_UNIT_ID,
                AdRequest.Builder().build(),
                object : RewardedAdLoadCallback() {
                    override fun onAdLoaded(ad: RewardedAd) {
