Android Question Strange problem with Admob - Receive OK but not appear

[Alberto Iglesias]

Everyone,

Somebody has problem with Admob

In one of my apps I have the admob... It´s working in almost all devices I have, but in Samsungs is something strange behavior:

I receive the event "ReceiveAd" but in screen not appear the ad! Strange this no? I tested in a samsung tablet, samsung S5 but not got any error and no ad visible.

And I colorize to blue to see where is the adview and is in the same place, I don´t know why not appear.

Do you have this problem before?

PS: I have the last google play services updated

Thanks

Are you 100% sure that the AdView is positioned correctly?

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

100% Sure! I put the background in blue to see the object.

In others devices is working perfectly, in some devices not appear.

And the googleservices is the same, the apk is the same..

Check the unfiltered logs and see if there is anything relevant.

I see the unfiltered log and allways appear ok! strange behavior!

Do you think the Appodeal is better? If yes I can change

 

[Erel]

Never used it, so I don't know.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

the curious thing is that behaves as if it had received the add usually just does not appear.

And during the application execution, passes several times by _ReceiveAd event

Finally I found the problem! Is in the size of adview object, look.


In the Original sample we have:

Activity.AddView(AdView1, 0dip, 0dip, 320dip, 50dip)' AdView1.LoadAd 'loads an ad

and looking a deep in a unfiltered log I got this message:

Not enough space to show ad. Needs 360x50 dp, but only has 320x50 dp.

so, just change to:

Activity.AddView(AdView1, 0dip, 0dip, 100%x, 50dip)' AdView1.LoadAd 'loads an ad

and works!
