Android Question Wait until the ad is shown in AdMob

[angel_]

In AdMob when I have the ad (interstitial) ready to show it doesn't always show on the screen, would it be possible to wait a while to show that ad before continuing? Would this code be valid?

'https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-wait-for-the-first-task-to-complete.160023/
If iAd.Ready Then
    iAd.Show
    Dim status(1) As String
    WaitForSuccess(status)
    Do While status(0) = ""
        Sleep(50)
    Loop
Else
    LogColor("no ad is available", xui.Color_Red)
End If
iAd.LoadAd
        
Private Sub WaitForSuccess (Status() As String)
    TimeOut(300, Status)
    Wait For iAd_AdOpened
    Status(0) = "success"
End Sub

Sub TimeOut(Duration As Int, Status() As String)
    Sleep(Duration)
    Status(0) = "end time"
End Sub

The TimeOut sub doesn't do anything useful. Read this tutorial: [B4X] Resumable subs that return values (ResumableSub)

With that said, it is a mistake to wait before intercepting the event. You will miss it. And also the event doesn't affect the actual behavior.
