Google AdMob
In this tutorial we will learn how to display ads on our android application. Ads can be of different types such as:
- Banner ads
- Interstitial ads
- Rewarded Video ads
Banner Ads: Banner ads are rectangular text or image ads that occupy a small spot in app's layout. Banner ads stay on layout while users are interacting with the app and ads refresh after a certain period of time.
Interstitial Ads: Interstitials ads are full screen ads that cover entire app's layout. Interstitial ads displayed at transition point of an app. While interstitial ads displayed, user are two options either click on it and move to ads location or either close it and return to app.
Rewarded Video Ads: Rewarded video ads display full screen video ads in exchange for in app rewards.
