How To Show Interstitial Ads in The getView Function in Kotlin? - android-studio

Question

I'm a Beginner in Kotlin and I want a way to display Interstitial Ad every time I click on the button tvName, but on the contrary, the app crashes whenever I click on the button. I searched for the solution for a long time.
Here's MainActivity
import ...
#Suppress("UNREACHABLE_CODE")
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var mAdView : AdView
var adapter:ChaptersAdapter?=null
var listOfChapters= ArrayList<Chapters>()
#SuppressLint("WrongViewCast")
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
MobileAds.initialize(this) {}
mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView)
val adRequest = AdRequest.Builder().build()
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest)
loadChapters()
adapter = ChaptersAdapter(listOfChapters, this)
lvchapters.adapter = adapter
MobileAds.initialize(this,
"ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713")
mInterstitialAd = InterstitialAd(this)
mInterstitialAd.adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712"
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(AdRequest.Builder().build())
}
fun loadChapters(){
listOfChapters.add(Chapters(" Chapter 1 ", applicationContext.assets.open("Chapter0.txt").bufferedReader().use {
it.readText()
}
))
listOfChapters.add(Chapters(" Chapter 2 ", applicationContext.assets.open("Chapter1.txt").bufferedReader().use {
it.readText()
}
))
}
class ChaptersAdapter: BaseAdapter {
var context:Context?=null
var listOfChaptersLocal= ArrayList<Chapters>()
constructor(listOfChapters:ArrayList<Chapters>,context:Context){
listOfChaptersLocal=listOfChapters
this.context=context
}
override fun getView(p0: Int, p1: View?, p2: ViewGroup?): View {
val chapters= listOfChaptersLocal[p0]
var inflator= context!!.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE) as LayoutInflater
val chaptersView=inflator.inflate(R.layout.list_chapters,null)
chaptersView.tvName.text= chapters.name!!
chaptersView.**tvName.setOnClickListener** {
// **i want to show the Ads in this time frame** but like this example it didn't work
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded) {
mInterstitialAd.show()
} else {
Log.d("TAG", "The interstitial wasn't loaded yet.")
}
val intent =Intent(context,ChapterDetails::class.java)
intent.putExtra("name",chapters.name!!)
intent.putExtra("des",chapters.des!!)
context!!.startActivity(intent)
}
return chaptersView
}
override fun getItem(p0: Int): Any {
return listOfChaptersLocal[p0]
}
override fun getItemId(p0: Int): Long {
return p0.toLong()
}
override fun getCount(): Int {
return listOfChaptersLocal.size
}
}
}
