Answer 1

No need for calling set state as it is expensive and causes a full rebuild.

This problem can easily be fixed in the following way:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_admob/firebase_admob.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
        title: 'Flutter Demo',
        theme: ThemeData(
          primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        ),
        home: HomePage());
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  HomePage({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _HomePageState createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State {
  //The targeting info required for Rewarded Videos Ads
  MobileAdTargetingInfo targetingInfo = MobileAdTargetingInfo(
    keywords: ['flutterio', 'beautiful apps'],
    contentUrl: 'https://flutter.io',
    childDirected: false,
    testDevices: [], // Android emulators are considered test devices
  );

  //An instance to be called in the init state
  RewardedVideoAd _videoAd = RewardedVideoAd.instance;

  @override
  void initState() {
    //---------------------------------------//
    //Initialise the listener with the values.
    _videoAd.listener =
        (RewardedVideoAdEvent event, {String rewardType, int rewardAmount}) {
      if (event == RewardedVideoAdEvent.completed) {
        //When the video ad gets completed load a new video ad
        _videoAd
            .load(
                adUnitId: RewardedVideoAd.testAdUnitId,
                targetingInfo: targetingInfo)
            .catchError((e) => print('Error in loading.'));
      }

      //On every other event change pass the values to the _handleEvent Method.
      _handleEvent(event, rewardType, 'Reward', rewardAmount);
    };
    //------------------------------------------------------------------//

    //This will load the video when the widget is built for the first time.
    _videoAd
        .load(
            adUnitId: RewardedVideoAd.testAdUnitId,
            targetingInfo: targetingInfo)
        .catchError((e) => print('Error in loading.'));

    //-----------------------------------------------------//
    super.initState();
  }

  //---- Useful function to know exactly what is being done ----//
  void _handleEvent(RewardedVideoAdEvent event, String rewardType,
      String adType, int rewardAmount) {
    switch (event) {
      case RewardedVideoAdEvent.loaded:
        _showSnackBar('New Admob $adType Ad loaded!', 1500);
        break;
      case RewardedVideoAdEvent.opened:
        _showSnackBar('Admob $adType Ad opened!', 1500);
        break;
      //
      //The way we are fixing the issue is here.
      //This is by calling the video to be loaded when the other rewarded video is closed.
      case RewardedVideoAdEvent.closed:
        _showSnackBar('Admob $adType Ad closed!', 1500);
        _videoAd
            .load(
                adUnitId: RewardedVideoAd.testAdUnitId,
                targetingInfo: targetingInfo)
            .catchError((e) => print('Error in loading.'));
        break;
      case RewardedVideoAdEvent.failedToLoad:
        _showSnackBar('Admob $adType failed to load.', 1500);
        break;
      case RewardedVideoAdEvent.rewarded:
        _showSnackBar('Rewarded $rewardAmount', 3000);
        break;
      default:
    }
  }

  //Snackbar shown with ad status
  void _showSnackBar(String content, int duration) {
    Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(SnackBar(
      content: Text(content),
      duration: Duration(milliseconds: duration),
    ));
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: FlatButton(
          child: Text('Play AD'),
          onPressed: () {
            _videoAd.show().catchError(
                (e) => print("error in showing ad: ${e.toString()}"));
          },
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
