Usage

You need to create two classes when using Admenator. First you need a class that implments InsertionPattern. This is a class contains your logic for when a custom view needs to be inserted.

public class ExamplePattern implements InsertionPattern {

    @Override
    public boolean insertForIndex(int index) {
        // this class will insert a view on every fifth index starting at 0
        return index % 5 == 0;
    }
}

Next you need to create a class that provides the View that needs to be inserted. This class implements ViewProvider. Which basically is the getView method from the adapter.

public class MyAdViewProvider implements ViewProvider {

    @Override
    public View getView(int index, View convertView, ViewGroup container) {
        if (convertView == null)
            convertView = new TextView(container.getContext());
        ((TextView) convertView).setText("Ad #" + index);
        return convertView;
    }
}

That's it! Now just pass your InsertionPattern and your ViewProvider into the AdmenatorAdapter together with your original adapter.
