How to load AdMobs inside RecycleView after every 5th row?

Question

I am trying to implement AdMobs to load ads, every 5th row but i am having a difficult time, as you can see from my screenshot ads are being loaded successfully but they're being loaded after every row. Can someone help me accomplish this? I already tried reading through post on stack overflow but none seems to help. Thank you in advance. image screenshot

Answer 1

It looks like you are adding 2 items to your adapter's data source for each element in your API response: one element has viewType 1 and the other viewType 2:

SectorPerformanceModel sectorPerformanceModel2 = new SectorPerformanceModel(stockDetails.getString("sector"),stockDetails.getString("changesPercentage"),1);
mostActiveArrayList.add((sectorPerformanceModel2));

SectorPerformanceModel sectorPerformanceModel3 = new SectorPerformanceModel(stockDetails.getString("sector"),stockDetails.getString("changesPercentage"),2);
mostActiveArrayList.add(mostActiveArrayList.size(),sectorPerformanceModel3);

Your adapter is rendering items with viewType 2 as ad rows, so if you want to display an ad row every 5 rows you'll need to update the downloadStockList method to execute this

SectorPerformanceModel sectorPerformanceModel3 = new SectorPerformanceModel(stockDetails.getString("sector"),stockDetails.getString("changesPercentage"),2);
mostActiveArrayList.add(mostActiveArrayList.size(),sectorPerformanceModel3);

only after having added 4 items with viewType 1.
