Android Question [ solved ] using FirebaseAdMob ,App crash

[Maodge]

I developed the app for the first time.
I didn't know that some information of admob needed to be kept secret.
I leaked my AdMob related information on the forum.
somebody using my admob appid information ,
Now my AdMob has been blocked.
Once again, I would like to remind :
Do not to disclose information on the forum.

hi,
I create a simple test project to study using FirebaseAdMob Lib.
Using Huawei Honor,Android Ver 8.1.0 for debug.
This project can compile ok, but the app immediately crashes.

I read the following post

[B4XPages] Admob Example

Check this other excellent example from @Jack Cole. To help the new members to make money with B4A, I tried to compile all the relevant Admob code (except mediation) of the forum in this example and put comments and links. This is a work in progress. Any code and sample to improve this example...

www.b4x.com

And check the project package name , appid,
google-services.json, sdk manager,code etc.
but i can not find the bug.
Could anyone give some suggest ? Thanks!

----
i debug on emulator, and get err logs. On emulator, test project crashes again.


APPID

code below

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAdMob.FirebaseAds)

'This is a sample AdMob app id. You need to change it to your id.
AddReplacement($ADMOB_APP_ID$, ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

Sub Service_Create
    'This is the program entry point.
    'This is a good place to load resources that are not specific to a single activity.
    Dim MobileAds As MobileAds
    MobileAds.Initialize
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Private BannerAd As AdView
    Private Label1 As Label
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")

    BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx", BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
    Activity.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 100%y - 48dip, 100%x, 48dip)
    BannerAd.LoadAd
End Sub

where is the error log ?

the attached project working well.

 

[Maodge]

No Log print.
When i click run on huawei phone, then it crashes.
Nothing output in logs .
even the information of connect to phone
"Logger connected to: HUAWEI BKK-AL10" is not dispaly.

Is it because of Google forbidden Huawei and China forbidden Google ?
It seems that i can not use this lib for above reason.

I don't think so,
i tried the project on an Emulator without Google Play Services and it worked

Change Release to Debug to be able to see the error log or add this line to your Project Attributes

#BridgeLogger:True

The relevant tutorial is this one: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...b-ads-integrated-with-firebase-backend.67710/
And follow the link to v1.60 update.
