Banner Ads
Banner Ad’s lifecycle can be managed from BannerAd object. Create it with your Ad Slot ID.
Call loadAd() and show() functions sequentially to display the Banner Ad.
And finally don’t forget to destroy banner view at the desired point.
Interstitial Ads
You can display an Interstitial Ad with InterstitialAd object. Functions are same as Banner’s. Just call loadAd() and show() sequentially.
Reward Ads
Reward Ad flow can be started with a RewardAd object.
As you can see; if a user completes the reward process, you can use Reward object in listener callback.
Splash Ads
With Splash Ad you can show non-skippable, highly customizable full screen ad from anywhere of your app.

Native Ads can be placed anywhere in your app as widget. Events can be listened with NativeAdController object and the widget can be customized with type and styles parameters.
