You also have to reference the google-play-services.jar in your project. You can find it in the "libs" folder at the google-play-services-lib project.

i tried that and it didn't work. It is recommended to not do that as ADT looks for it under under Android Dependencies but i still tried – Ahsan Jul 10 '14 at 14:41
I don't think it's related but did you add the "AdActivity" to your app manifest? – JoniDS Jul 10 '14 at 15:05
If you are using gradle you don't need to include the lib, just add "compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+' to your dependencies – JoniDS Jul 10 '14 at 15:23

Try this code:-

 public void loadad(){
            this.interstitialAds = new InterstitialAd(this, "Publisher_Id");
            AdRequest adr = new AdRequest();
            // add your test device here
            //adr.addTestDevice("8E452640BC83C672B070CDCA8AB9B06B");
            interstitialAds.loadAd(adr);
            this.interstitialAds.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
                @Override
                public void onReceiveAd(Ad arg0) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    if (interstitialAds.isReady()) {
                        interstitialAds.show();
                    } else {

                    }

                }

                public void onLeaveApplication(Ad arg0) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                }
                @Override
                public void onFailedToReceiveAd(Ad arg0, ErrorCode error) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    String message = "Load Ads Failed: (" + error + ")";

                }

                @Override
                public void onDismissScreen(Ad arg0) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    int DELAY = 120000;

                    Handler handler = new Handler();
                    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {            
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            // Intent intent = new Intent(Home.this, MainActivity.class);
                            // startActivity(intent);   
                            loadad();
                        }
                    }, DELAY);

                }
                @Override
                public void onPresentScreen(Ad arg0) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                }
            });

        }

Use this code and call on starting of your app. And there is a Handler inside onDismissScreen(). If you want call this after few minutes..

Thanks Rajeev but this code is giving me problems regarding importing. I am a newbie with this so apologize if i can't get it right away. This seems like a work around. Wondering if there is a actual fix for this issue — Ahsan, Jul 10 '14 at 14:27
