Best practices for Splash Ads

Cold Start

1. Load a Splash Ad

• After the app or game launchs, call ATSplashAd#loadAd() to load the ad.
• To avoid timeouts during splash ad loading, postpone preloading of other ad formats and network resource-consuming requests until after the splash ad has been displayed.
• It is recommended to use SDK Preset Strategy to improve the loading efficiency of splash ads after first-time installation.

2. Show a Splash Ad

When the onAdLoaded() callback is triggered, you need to meet the following conditions before calling ATSplashAd#show(activity, container) to display the ad:

• The application is in the foreground.
• The splash ad display container has been added to the layout and is visible.

3. When to Enter the App's Homepage

Enter the app's homepage in the following scenarios:

• onNoAdError()
• onAdDismiss()

Soft Launch

1. Load a Splash Ad

• Initiate preloading by calling ATSplashAd#loadAd() after entering the homepage
• Call ATSplashAd#loadAd() for preloading within the onAdShow() callback of the splash ad

2. Show a Splash Ad

When the app returns to the foreground from the background, call ATSplashAd#isAdReady():

• If true: call ATSplashAd#show() to display the ad
• If false: call ATSplashAd#loadAd() to load the ad

3. Note

• When the app switches from the foreground to the background, you can call isReady(). If the value is false, you can proceed with preloading
• Please avoid ad cache expiration that could cause isAdReady() to be false during a warm start
