Facebook Ads Error : You can't call show() for ad in state LOADING

Question

I'm integrating Facebook Ads in my app following their official documentation. But when I run my app I get the following exception

java.lang.IllegalStateException: You can't call show() for ad in state LOADING. You can change Integration Error mode by setting AdSettings.setIntegrationErrorMode()

Below is my code

private com.facebook.ads.InterstitialAd fbInterstitialAd;
fbInterstitialAd = new com.facebook.ads.InterstitialAd(this, getString(R.string.fb_interstitial_ad_id));
fbInterstitialAd.loadAd();

and I'm showing it like below

if (fbInterstitialAd.isAdLoaded() && !fbInterstitialAd.isAdInvalidated()) {
fbInterstitialAd.show();//This line causes the crash

This is the dependency that I've added in build.gradle

implementation 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:5.+'

Answer 1

You are using the wrong dependency. Replace the following dependency:

implementation 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:5.+'

with

implementation 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:5.0.1'
