How to show interstitial Ad before launching new activity after clicking a menu button?

Question

I use option menu button to go to second activity. When user click on that menu button interstitial Ad show after launching second activity. But I want to show interstitial Ad before launching second activity and when user click on close button of interstitial Ad, second activity should launch.

I'm using the code below to show interstitial Ad.

case R.id.button_id:
   startActivity(new Intent(this, secondactivity.class ));               

                    interstitial = new InterstitialAd(getApplicationContext());
                    interstitial.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.admob_interstetial_ad));
                    AdRequest adRequest9 = new AdRequest.Builder()
                            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)


                            .build();
                    interstitial.loadAd(adRequest9);
                    interstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
                        public void onAdLoaded() {
                            if (interstitial.isLoaded()) {
                                interstitial.show();
                            }
                        }
                    });


                    return true;

The answer suggested by @user8240773 is correct but there is a more efficient way of handling your problem. Here is my code:

// Has the interstitial loaded successfully?
// If it has loaded, perform these actions
if(mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
    // Step 1: Display the interstitial
    mInterstitialAd.show();
    // Step 2: Attach an AdListener
    mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAdClosed() {
            // Step 2.1: Load another ad
            AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
                                    .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_EMULATOR_ID)
                                    .build();
            mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);

            // Step 2.2: Start the new activity
            startActivity(new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class));
        }
    });
}
// If it has not loaded due to any reason simply load the next activity
else {
    startActivity(new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class));
}

That way you will also do not have to worry about the ad not loading due to no internet connection or anything else. Everything would be handled by this code in the way you described your problem.

This is for latest SDK.

Load the ad at app start.

To show ads before user go to another activity use this code. You can use counter if you wish to show ads after number of clicks.

Like this

Load ad on app start

   public InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd;
  private int counter = 0;

 AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();

    InterstitialAd.load(this, AD_UNIT_ID, adRequest, new InterstitialAdLoadCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onAdLoaded(@NonNull InterstitialAd interstitialAd) {
            // The mInterstitialAd reference will be null until
            // an ad is loaded.
            super.onAdLoaded(interstitialAd);
            mInterstitialAd = interstitialAd;

        }

        @Override
        public void onAdFailedToLoad(@NonNull LoadAdError loadAdError) {
            // Handle the error

            mInterstitialAd = null;
        }
    });

Use this to show

case R.id.button_id:

if (counter == 1) {
                if (mInterstitialAd != null) {
                    mInterstitialAd.show(MainActivity.this);
                    mInterstitialAd.setFullScreenContentCallback(new FullScreenContentCallback(){
                        @Override
                        public void onAdDismissedFullScreenContent() {
                            // Called when fullscreen content is dismissed.

                            startActivity(new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class));
                        
                       }

                        @Override
                        public void onAdFailedToShowFullScreenContent(AdError adError) {
                            // Called when fullscreen content failed to show.
                            Log.d("TAG", "The ad failed to show.");
                        }

                    });

                } else {
            //load add again as above and visit second activity
         `startActivity(new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class));`
          counter=0;
                   
              
                }

            } else { 

      startActivity(new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class));`
              }

This code works for me

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),  MainActivity.class); 
startActivity(intent); 
    if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
        mInterstitialAd.show();
    }
finish();
