6. Calling the ad formats

Every ad call takes a placeholder — a string key configured against an ad format in the AKS portal (e.g. "1"). AKS resolves the placeholder to a primary ad network plus a failover list at runtime; you never reference an ad-unit ID directly in code.

Interstitial

kotlin

// Load only
AdsManager.loadInterstitial(context, placeholder, object : AdsCallback() {
    override fun onLoaded() { }
    override fun onFailedToLoad() { }
    override fun onAdShown() { }
    override fun onAdDismissed() { }
    override fun onAdFailedToShow() { }
})

// Show a previously loaded interstitial
AdsManager.showInterstitial(activity, placeholder, callback)

// Load and show in one call
AdsManager.loadAndShowInterstitialAd(activity, placeholder, callback)

// Check availability before showing
AdsManager.isInterstitialAvailable(placeholder)

Rewarded

kotlin

AdsManager.loadRewarded(context, placeholder, object : RewardedAdCallbacks() {
    override fun onRewardedLoaded() { }
    override fun onRewardedAdLoadFailure() { }
    override fun onRewardedCompleted() { }
    override fun onAdRewarded() { }
    override fun onAdRewardedAdDismissed() { }
    override fun onRewardedFailedToShow() { }
})

AdsManager.showRewarded(activity, placeholder, callbacks)

// Load and show in one call — simpler success/fail callback
AdsManager.loadAndShowRewardedAd(activity, placeholder, object : RewardedLoadAndShowCallback {
    override fun onRewardedAdSuccess() { }
    override fun onRewardedAdFailed() { }
})

AdsManager.isRewardedAvailable(placeholder)

App Open

kotlin

AdsManager.loadAppOpen(application, placeholder, object : AppOpenAdCallbacks() {
    override fun onLoaded() { }
    override fun onFailedToLoad() { }
    override fun onDismiss() { }
    override fun onAdShown() { }
    override fun onAdFailToShow() { }
})

AdsManager.showAppOpen(activity, placeholder, callbacks)

If you want AKS's own splash/app-open handling (driven by the isAppOpenAtApplicationLvl remote-config flag) instead of managing App Open yourself, use loadDefaultAppOpen / showDefaultAppOpen on your AppsKitSDKApplication subclass — or simply call requestSplashAppOpenAd(callbacks, addInDefaultDelay), which the base Application class already implements end-to-end.

kotlin

AdsManager.loadBanner(context, placeholder, object : BannerCallback() {
    override fun onBannerLoaded() { }
    override fun onBannerFailedToLoad() { }
    override fun onBannerClicked() { }
    override fun onBannerShown() { }
    override fun onBannerSizeChanged(bannerSizes: BannerSizes) { }
    override fun setBannerSize(width: Double, height: Double) { }
})

// layout is a FrameLayout (BannerContainer) you've placed in your screen
AdsManager.showBanner(activity, layout, placeholder, callback)

BannerSizes: BANNER (320×50), LARGE_BANNER (320×100), MEDIUM_RECTANGLE (300×250), FULL_BANNER (468×60).

Native

kotlin

AdsManager.loadNative(activity, placeholder, isShowInScrollView = false, object : NativeCallback() {
    override fun onNativeLoaded() { }
    override fun onNativeFailedToLoad() { }
    override fun onNativeClicked() { }
    override fun onNativeShown() { }
})

// frameLayout is the BannerContainer that will host the native ad view; res is an
// optional custom native-ad layout resource (pass null to use AKS's default layout)
AdsManager.showNative(activity, frameLayout, placeholder, isShowInScrollView = false, res = null, callback)

Feature Promotion

Feature Promotion is AKS's own house-ad format for cross-promoting one feature of your app to users who haven't unlocked it yet — it only resolves through the AKS network (not AdMob/MAX/etc.), and the promoted items are configured server-side in the AKS portal, scoped to the placeholder.

kotlin

// Optional — exclude features the user already has unlocked from being promoted
AdsManager.setFeaturesAvailable(listOf("premium_theme", "no_ads"))

AdsManager.showFeaturePromotion(activity, placeholder, object : OnFeaturePromotionClicked {
    override fun onFeaturePromotionClicked(targetScreen: String) {
        // user tapped the promotion — navigate them to targetScreen
    }

    override fun onFailToShowFeaturePromotion(errorMessage: String) { }
})
