Preloads an InMobi ad. You can also call inMobi.isLoaded() to verify that the ad has been loaded and inMobi.show() to show it.

adUnitType (required)

String. The type of ad according to the InMobi placement ID. Supported values are "banner" or "interstitial".

Parameter Reference

The params table can include properties for customizing a banner ad. This does not apply to interstitial ads.

Example

local inMobi = require( "plugin.inMobi" )

-- Pre-declare a placement ID
local placementID = "PLACEMENT_ID"

local function adListener( event )

    if ( event.phase == "init" ) then  -- Successful initialization
        -- Load a banner ad
        inMobi.load( "banner", placementID )

    elseif ( event.phase == "loaded" ) then  -- The ad was successfully loaded
        print( event.type )
        print( event.placementId )

    elseif ( event.phase == "failed" ) then  -- The ad failed to load
        print( event.type )
        print( event.placementId )
        print( event.isError )
        print( event.response )
    end
end

-- Initialize the InMobi plugin
inMobi.init( adListener, { accountId="YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID" } )
