\nI’m a big fan of Stack Overflow<\/a> and I tend to contribute regularly (am currently in the top 0.X%<\/a>).\u00a0In this category (stackoverflow<\/a>)\u00a0of posts I will will be posting my top rated questions and answers. This, btw, is allowed as explained in the meta thread here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I actually answered this question<\/a>\u00a0by userArlind a<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I’m using AdMob plugin in Ionic and with this code I show an Interstital ad:<\/p>\n

function initAd(){\r\n\r\n \/\/ it will display smart banner at top center, using the default options\r\n if(AdMob) AdMob.createBanner( {\r\n                          adId: admobid.banner,\r\n                          bannerId: admobid.banner,\r\n                          position:AdMob.AD_POSITION.BOTTOM_CENTER,\r\n                          autoShow: true,\r\n                          isTesting: false,\r\n                          success: function(){\r\n                          console.log('banner created');\r\n                          },\r\n                          error: function(){\r\n                         console.log('failed to create banner');\r\n                          }\r\n                          } );\r\n\r\n                                       window.AdMob.prepareInterstitial( \r\n                           {adId:admobid.interstitial, autoShow:false} );\r\n    window.AdMob.showInterstitial();\r\n\r\n }<\/pre>\n
Is there a way to show intersitial ad every 2 minutes? Someone told me to add this:<\/p>\n
setInterval(showInterstitial,1*60*1000)<\/pre>\n
but I don’t know where to add?<\/p>\n
My answer<\/a> was:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
If you would like to show it every 2 minutes you should use:<\/p>\n
setInterval(window.AdMob.showInterstitial, 2*60*1000);<\/pre>\n
and you should add it just before the closing bracket of your initAdd<\/code> function:<\/p>\n
\n

function initAd(){\r\n\r\n\r\n \/\/ it will display smart banner at top center, using the default options\r\n if(AdMob) AdMob.createBanner( {\r\n                          adId: admobid.banner,\r\n                          bannerId: admobid.banner,\r\n                          position:AdMob.AD_POSITION.BOTTOM_CENTER,\r\n                          autoShow: true,\r\n                          isTesting: false,\r\n                          success: function(){\r\n                          console.log('banner created');\r\n                          },\r\n                          error: function(){\r\n                         console.log('failed to create banner');\r\n                          }\r\n                          } );\r\n\r\n                                       window.AdMob.prepareInterstitial( \r\n                           {adId:admobid.interstitial, autoShow:false} );\r\n    window.AdMob.showInterstitial();\r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \/\/!!!add the code here!!! - so, just paste what I wrote above:\r\n  setInterval(window.AdMob.showInterstitial, 2*60*1000);\r\n\r\n }<\/pre>\n
You can see a simple setInterval usage on this jsFiddle example<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
function a(){\r\n    alert(\"hi every 2 seconds\");\r\n};\r\n\r\nsetInterval(a, 2*1000);<\/pre>\n
The reason why you shouldn’t call it like this (note the brackets after a<\/code>): setInterval(a(), 2*1000);<\/code> is that then your function would be called only once (you would see only one alert popping up). Example on jsFiddle<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
function a(){\r\n    alert(\"hi every 2 seconds\");\r\n};\r\n\r\nsetInterval(a(), 2*1000);<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
