Rewarded Ads - Ad Control Help Center

Overview

Rewarded ads are full-screen video ads that provide users with rewards such as in-game currency, lives, or hints when they watch the ad to completion.

Key Features

Full-screen video ads
Rewards provided only when users watch the entire ad
User-initiated ad viewing (e.g., “Watch video to get lives” button)
Configurable reward type and amount

Use the test unit ID for development: PUBLIC_TEST_UNIT_ID_REWARDED

Implementation Steps

Rewarded ads are implemented in the following steps:

Create AdropRewardedAd Instance - Create ad object with unit ID
Set Listener - Configure listener for ad events
Load Ad - Request ad with load() method
Show Ad - Display ad with show() method and handle rewards

Basic Implementation

Kotlin Example

import io.adrop.ads.rewardedAd.AdropRewardedAd
import io.adrop.ads.rewardedAd.AdropRewardedAdListener
import io.adrop.ads.model.AdropErrorCode

class RewardedActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private var rewardedAd: AdropRewardedAd? = null

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_rewarded)

        // 1. Create AdropRewardedAd instance
        rewardedAd = AdropRewardedAd(this, "YOUR_UNIT_ID")

        // 2. Set Listener
        rewardedAd?.rewardedAdListener = object : AdropRewardedAdListener {
            // Required: Ad received successfully
            override fun onAdReceived(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad received")
                // Enable watch ad button, etc.
            }

            // Required: Ad failed to receive
            override fun onAdFailedToReceive(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad failed to receive: $errorCode")
                // Keep watch ad button disabled, etc.
            }

            // Optional: Ad impression
            override fun onAdImpression(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad impression")
            }

            // Optional: Ad clicked
            override fun onAdClicked(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad clicked")
            }

            // Optional: Before showing full screen

            }

            // Optional: After showing full screen
            override fun onAdDidPresentFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {

            }

            // Optional: Before closing full screen
            override fun onAdWillDismissFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad will dismiss")
            }

            // Optional: After closing full screen

                // Preload next ad
                rewardedAd?.load()
            }

            // Optional: Failed to show
            override fun onAdFailedToShowFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad failed to show: $errorCode")
            }
        }

        // 3. Load ad
        rewardedAd?.load()

        // Handle watch ad button click
        findViewById<Button>(R.id.btnShowRewardedAd).setOnClickListener {
            showRewardedAd()
        }
    }

    private fun showRewardedAd() {

        if (rewardedAd?.isLoaded != true) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Ad is not loaded yet")
            return
        }

        // 4. Show ad and handle reward
        rewardedAd?.show(this) { type, amount ->
            // Process reward
            Log.d(TAG, "Reward earned - type: $type, amount: $amount")
            grantReward(type, amount)
        }
    }

    private fun grantReward(type: Int, amount: Int) {
        // Grant reward to user
        // e.g., Add in-game currency, restore lives, etc.
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        rewardedAd?.destroy()
        rewardedAd = null
    }

    companion object {
        private const val TAG = "RewardedActivity"
    }
}

Best Practices

1. Preload Ads

Preload ads for better user experience.

class GameActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private var rewardedAd: AdropRewardedAd? = null

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_game)

        // Preload ad on screen entry
        loadRewardedAd()
    }

    private fun loadRewardedAd() {
        rewardedAd = AdropRewardedAd(this, "YOUR_UNIT_ID")
        rewardedAd?.rewardedAdListener = object : AdropRewardedAdListener {
            override fun onAdReceived(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad ready")
            }

            override fun onAdFailedToReceive(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad load failed: $errorCode")
            }

            override fun onAdDidDismissFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
                // Preload next ad after closing
                loadRewardedAd()
            }
        }
        rewardedAd?.load()
    }

    private fun showRewardedAd() {
        rewardedAd?.show(this) { type, amount ->
            grantReward(type, amount)
        }
    }
}

public class GameActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private AdropRewardedAd rewardedAd;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);

        // Preload ad on screen entry
        loadRewardedAd();
    }

    private void loadRewardedAd() {
        rewardedAd = new AdropRewardedAd(this, "YOUR_UNIT_ID");
        rewardedAd.setRewardedAdListener(new AdropRewardedAdListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAdReceived(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad ready");
            }

            @Override
            public void onAdFailedToReceive(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad, @NonNull AdropErrorCode errorCode) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Ad load failed: " + errorCode);
            }

            @Override
            public void onAdDidDismissFullScreen(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
                // Preload next ad after closing
                loadRewardedAd();
            }
        });
        rewardedAd.load();
    }

    private void showRewardedAd() {
        rewardedAd.show(this, (type, amount) -> {
            grantReward(type, amount);
        });
    }
}

2. Check Ad Ready State

Check if ad is loaded and update UI accordingly.

class GameActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private var rewardedAd: AdropRewardedAd? = null
    private var isAdReady = false

    private fun updateButtonState() {
        findViewById<Button>(R.id.btnWatchAd).apply {
            isEnabled = isAdReady
            alpha = if (isAdReady) 1.0f else 0.5f
            text = if (isAdReady) "Watch Video for Lives" else "Loading Ad..."
        }
    }

    private val adListener = object : AdropRewardedAdListener {
        override fun onAdReceived(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
            isAdReady = true
            updateButtonState()
        }

        override fun onAdFailedToReceive(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
            isAdReady = false
            updateButtonState()
        }

        override fun onAdDidDismissFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
            isAdReady = false
            updateButtonState()

            // Load next ad
            rewardedAd?.load()
        }
    }
}

public class GameActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private AdropRewardedAd rewardedAd;
    private boolean isAdReady = false;

    private void updateButtonState() {
        Button btnWatchAd = findViewById(R.id.btnWatchAd);
        btnWatchAd.setEnabled(isAdReady);
        btnWatchAd.setAlpha(isAdReady ? 1.0f : 0.5f);
        btnWatchAd.setText(isAdReady ? "Watch Video for Lives" : "Loading Ad...");
    }

    private final AdropRewardedAdListener adListener = new AdropRewardedAdListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAdReceived(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
            isAdReady = true;
            updateButtonState();
        }

        @Override
        public void onAdFailedToReceive(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad, @NonNull AdropErrorCode errorCode) {
            isAdReady = false;
            updateButtonState();
        }

        @Override
        public void onAdDidDismissFullScreen(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
            isAdReady = false;
            updateButtonState();

            // Load next ad
            rewardedAd.load();
        }
    };
}

3. Background Music Handling

Control background music appropriately before and after ad display.

private val adListener = object : AdropRewardedAdListener {
    override fun onAdReceived(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
        // Required implementation
    }

    override fun onAdFailedToReceive(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
        // Required implementation
    }

    override fun onAdWillPresentFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
        // Pause background music before showing ad
        AudioManager.pauseBackgroundMusic()
    }

    override fun onAdDidDismissFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
        // Resume background music after ad closes
        AudioManager.resumeBackgroundMusic()
    }
}

private final AdropRewardedAdListener adListener = new AdropRewardedAdListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAdReceived(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
        // Required implementation
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdFailedToReceive(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad, @NonNull AdropErrorCode errorCode) {
        // Required implementation
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdWillPresentFullScreen(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
        // Pause background music before showing ad
        AudioManager.pauseBackgroundMusic();
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdDidDismissFullScreen(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
        // Resume background music after ad closes
        AudioManager.resumeBackgroundMusic();
    }
};

4. Error Handling

Implement retry logic when ad loading fails.

private val adListener = object : AdropRewardedAdListener {
    override fun onAdReceived(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Ad load success")
    }

    override fun onAdFailedToReceive(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Ad load failed: $errorCode")

        // Retry on network error
        if (errorCode == AdropErrorCode.ERROR_CODE_NETWORK) {
            Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({
                rewardedAd?.load()
            }, 3000)
        }
    }

    override fun onAdFailedToShowFullScreen(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Ad show failed: $errorCode")

        // Notify user
        Toast.makeText(
            this@GameActivity,
            "Cannot show ad. Please try again later.",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
        ).show()
    }
}

private final AdropRewardedAdListener adListener = new AdropRewardedAdListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAdReceived(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Ad load success");
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdFailedToReceive(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad, @NonNull AdropErrorCode errorCode) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Ad load failed: " + errorCode);

        // Retry on network error
        if (errorCode == AdropErrorCode.ERROR_CODE_NETWORK) {
            new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(() -> {
                rewardedAd.load();
            }, 3000);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdFailedToShowFullScreen(@NonNull AdropRewardedAd ad, @NonNull AdropErrorCode errorCode) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Ad show failed: " + errorCode);

        // Notify user
        Toast.makeText(
            GameActivity.this,
            "Cannot show ad. Please try again later.",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
        ).show();
    }
};

5. Lifecycle Management

Clean up ad resources when Activity is destroyed.

class GameActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private var rewardedAd: AdropRewardedAd? = null

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        rewardedAd?.destroy()
        rewardedAd = null
    }
}

public class GameActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private AdropRewardedAd rewardedAd;

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        if (rewardedAd != null) {
            rewardedAd.destroy();
            rewardedAd = null;
        }
    }
}

Testing

Test Unit ID

Always use test unit IDs during development.

// Development environment
val rewardedAd = AdropRewardedAd(this, "PUBLIC_TEST_UNIT_ID_REWARDED")

// Production environment
val rewardedAd = AdropRewardedAd(this, "YOUR_PRODUCTION_UNIT_ID")

// Development environment
AdropRewardedAd rewardedAd = new AdropRewardedAd(this, "PUBLIC_TEST_UNIT_ID_REWARDED");

// Production environment
AdropRewardedAd rewardedAd = new AdropRewardedAd(this, "YOUR_PRODUCTION_UNIT_ID");

Testing with actual unit IDs may be considered invalid traffic and could result in account suspension. Always use test unit IDs.

Environment-based Unit ID Management

Automatically switch unit IDs based on build type.

object AdUnitID {
    val REWARDED: String
        get() = if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            "PUBLIC_TEST_UNIT_ID_REWARDED"
        } else {
            "YOUR_PRODUCTION_UNIT_ID"
        }
}

// Usage
val rewardedAd = AdropRewardedAd(this, AdUnitID.REWARDED)

public class AdUnitID {
    public static String getREWARDED() {
        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            return "PUBLIC_TEST_UNIT_ID_REWARDED";
        } else {
            return "YOUR_PRODUCTION_UNIT_ID";
        }
    }
}

// Usage
AdropRewardedAd rewardedAd = new AdropRewardedAd(this, AdUnitID.getREWARDED());

Backfill Ads

When backfill ads are enabled, backfill ads are automatically loaded when direct ads are unavailable. Use the isBackfilled property to check if the ad is a backfill ad.

rewardedAd.rewardedAdListener = object : AdropRewardedAdListener {
    override fun onAdReceived(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
        if (ad.isBackfilled) {
            println("Backfill ad loaded")
        } else {
            println("Direct ad loaded")
        }
    }

    override fun onAdFailedToReceive(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
        when (errorCode) {
            AdropErrorCode.ERROR_CODE_AD_NO_FILL -> {
                println("No direct ad, requesting backfill...")
            }
            AdropErrorCode.ERROR_CODE_AD_BACKFILL_NO_FILL -> {
                println("Backfill ad also not available")
            }
            else -> {
                println("Ad load failed: $errorCode")
            }
        }
    }
}

rewardedAd.setRewardedAdListener(new AdropRewardedAdListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAdReceived(AdropRewardedAd ad) {
        if (ad.isBackfilled()) {
            System.out.println("Backfill ad loaded");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Direct ad loaded");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onAdFailedToReceive(AdropRewardedAd ad, AdropErrorCode errorCode) {
        if (errorCode == AdropErrorCode.ERROR_CODE_AD_NO_FILL) {
            System.out.println("No direct ad, requesting backfill...");
        } else if (errorCode == AdropErrorCode.ERROR_CODE_AD_BACKFILL_NO_FILL) {
            System.out.println("Backfill ad also not available");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Ad load failed: " + errorCode);
        }
    }
});

To use backfill ads, add the io.adrop:adrop-ads-backfill dependency. See Getting Started.

Server-Side Verification

Server-side verification (SSV) allows you to verify reward grants on your server, preventing client-side manipulation. Use ServerSideVerificationOptions to pass user identification and custom data that will be included in the server-to-server callback.

To receive SSV callbacks on your server, register a callback URL in the console: [Management] > [Integrations] > Reward Ad SSV. The userId and customData set here are included in the encrypted payload sent to that URL. See the Reward Ad SSV guide for payload decryption and setup.

Setting Up SSV

val rewardedAd = AdropRewardedAd(this, "YOUR_UNIT_ID")

// Set server-side verification options before loading the ad
rewardedAd.serverSideVerificationOptions = ServerSideVerificationOptions(
    userId = "user_12345",
    customData = "extra_info"
)

rewardedAd.rewardedAdListener = object : AdropRewardedAdListener {
    override fun onAdReceived(ad: AdropRewardedAd) {
        ad.show(this@MainActivity) { type, amount ->
            Log.d("Reward", "Type: $type, Amount: $amount")
        }
    }

    override fun onAdFailedToReceive(ad: AdropRewardedAd, errorCode: AdropErrorCode) {
        // Handle error
    }
}

rewardedAd.load()

AdropRewardedAd rewardedAd = new AdropRewardedAd(this, "YOUR_UNIT_ID");

// Set server-side verification options before loading the ad
rewardedAd.setServerSideVerificationOptions(
    new ServerSideVerificationOptions("user_12345", "extra_info")
);

rewardedAd.setRewardedAdListener(new AdropRewardedAdListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAdReceived(AdropRewardedAd ad) {
        ad.show(this, (type, amount) -> {
            Log.d("Reward", "Type: " + type + ", Amount: " + amount);
        });
    }
});

rewardedAd.load();

ServerSideVerificationOptions

Property	Type	Description
`userId`	`String?`	User identifier for server-side verification
`customData`	`String?`	Custom data string to include in the callback

Set serverSideVerificationOptions before calling load(). The userId and customData values are sent to your server callback URL when the user earns a reward.
