How to use IMA extension with Leanback on Android TV and Media3 ExoPlayer?

Have you seen google/ExoPlayer#10736? It sounds like this is basically the same question and the solution was to implement AdViewProvider on the VideoSupportFragment.

Yes, that is the only string I can find that is close to what I need. They list some code in there but it is not enough. I tried so hard to make this happen using a viewgroup but without seeing more of their implementation I can't make it work. I was hoping someone would show more of their code they used to implement the following:

public class PlayerFragment extends VideoSupportFragment implements AdViewProvider{
@OverRide
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mPlayerView = (ViewGroup) super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
}

@Override
public ViewGroup getAdViewGroup() {
    return mPlayerView;
}

}

I can't make it work

What are the symptoms of "can't make it work" exactly? Is it not compiling, are there any runtime errors, is the ad playing but you don't see the overlay, is the ad skipped entirely, ... ? As far the ad extension is concerned it really just needs a view group to display its overlay in. Other than that ad playback should just work.
