Android Question Admob Native Ads now requires (mediaview)

[Douglas Farias]

Hello everyone.
I received an email from admob informing that as of October 29th all native ads that do not have the use of mediaview will be removed and deactivated.

admob is forcing developers to use mediaview in native ads, they claim to be better because some ads will show videos and other images, then a view that can receive image or video.

I have two questions about.

1 - How to add mediaview on b4a?
I know mediaview in b4j, but I never used it in b4a, would it have some example to present using mediaview in native ads?

2 - When will we have an official version of the admob native ads library?
today we have only one sample code posted by @Erel
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/any-news-about-native-ads-advanced.88100/#post-562893

but my question is when are we going to have a library specific to native ads? we already have to rewarded videos, interstitial and banner, I believe that native ads would help a lot.

thank you all.

The JavaObject code is more flexible than a library. As Google keeps making changes to the API and the requirements it is easier to work with that code.

I updated the thread with my final code and the ad unit to test with native ad mediaview.
It works fine.
