Show Progress Bar on Screen before Interstitial Ad

Question

I am Working on Android Application that Implements Admob Interstitial Ad. What I want is the Handler Lock a Screen and Show Progress bar for two seconds and then Show Interstitial ad.

What I Have done is I animated the Interstitial Ad by Creating an Animation and Call it just After the InterstitialAd.show Method.

 mInterstitialAd!!.adListener = object: AdListener() {
        override fun onAdLoaded() {
            btnstart.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener {


                if (mInterstitialAd!!.isLoaded) {
                    mInterstitialAd!!.show()
                    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.in_left, R.anim.nav_default_exit_anim)
                } else {
                    sharpref!!.privacyPolicyAccepted()
                    if (!sharpref!!.isFirstTimeLaunch()) {
                        val intent = Intent(applicationContext, SliderActivity::class.java)
                        startActivity(intent)
                    } else {
                        val intent = Intent(applicationContext, MainActivity::class.java)
                        startActivity(intent)
                    }
                }
            })
        }

The Code Animated the overridePendingTransition(R.anim.in_left, R.anim.nav_default_exit_anim) Interstiial ad but I want is Show Pogress bar for two seconds before interstitail ad opens.

@SaraGarcía I want is the Activity stuck and show progress bar for two seconds and then show interstitial ad — Usman Ali, Dec 04 '20 at 04:17
i think u coding in Kotlin. i don't know anything about it but here how to do that in Java. try to rewrite it in Kotlin. ```ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(this); pd.setMessage("Loading ad..."); pd.show(); new CountDownTimer(2000, 1000){ @Override public void onTick(long p1) { } @Override public void onFinish() { if(interstitialAd.isLoaded()){ interstitialAd.show(); } pd.dismiss(); } }.start();``` — Sara García, Dec 04 '20 at 04:27
Where Do I need to put this, Like I want to open Interstitial ad after progress bar for two seconds — Usman Ali, Dec 04 '20 at 04:33

Please refer to this answer for more detail on timers.

Quick Overview :-

The answer in the link shows different ways to schedule some work you have after a particular time. You can use this according to your requirements.

As much as I have understood from your question you can have somewhat like this :-

if (mInterstitialAd!!.isLoaded) {
     // show Progress Bar visibility here 
        Handler().postDelayed({
            //Hide Progress Bar visibility here 
            mInterstitialAd!!.show()
            overridePendingTransition(R.anim.in_left,R.anim.nav_default_exit_anim)
            }, 2000)
   }

In this method after your if (mInterstitialAd!!.isLoaded) you can also have a timer(more details in the link provided) and then you can show your ad with your animation if you want.

My Scenario is Press Start Button Show Progress bar for two seconds and then show interstitial ad – Usman Ali Dec 04 '20 at 05:40
Please post your updated code as well. Also why are you having your `btnstart.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener` inside of your `adLoaded` ? – WhiteSpidy. Dec 04 '20 at 05:45
have a look at this answer on how to show ad on button click :- https://stackoverflow.com/a/24601234/12768366 – WhiteSpidy. Dec 04 '20 at 05:47

Timer().schedule(object : TimerTask() { override fun run() { TODO("Do something") } }, 2000) I have added this juust after the Onadload method – Usman Ali Dec 04 '20 at 06:46
