Track ads on Chromecast track-ads-on-chromecast

Identify when the ad break boundary begins, including pre-roll, and create an AdBreakObject by using the ad break information.

Ad break object creation: createAdBreakObject

adBreakInfo = ADBMobile.media.createAdBreakObject("First Ad-Break", 1, AD_BREAK_START_TIME, playerName);

Call trackEvent() with AdBreakStart in the MediaHeartbeat instance to begin tracking the ad break: trackEvent

ADBMobile.media.trackEvent(ADBMobile.media.Event.AdBreakStart, getAdBreakInfo());

Identify when the ad asset starts and create an AdObject instance using the ad information.

Ad object creation: createAdObject

adInfo = ADBMobile.media.createAdObject("Sample ad", "001", 1, AD_LENGTH);

Optionally attach standard and/or ad metadata to the media tracking session through context data variables.

• Standard ad metadata - For standard ad metadata, create a dictionary of standard ad metadata key value pairs using the keys for your platform:
• Custom ad metadata - For custom metadata, create a variable object for the custom data variables and populate with the data for the current ad asset:

Call trackEvent() with the AdStart event to begin tracking the ad playback.

Include a reference to your custom metadata variable (or an empty object) as the third parameter in the event call: trackEvent

ADBMobile.media.trackEvent(ADBMobile.media.Event.AdStart, getAdInfo(), adContextData);

When the ad asset playback reaches the end of the ad, call trackEvent() with the AdComplete event: trackEvent

ADBMobile.media.trackEvent(ADBMobile.media.Event.AdComplete);

If there are any additional ads within the same AdBreak, repeat steps 3 through 6 again.

When the ad break is complete, use the AdBreakComplete event to track: trackEvent

ADBMobile.media.trackEvent(ADBMobile.media.Event.AdBreakComplete, getAdBreakInfo());
