K Kapslok Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 17, 2011 #1 Hello, I got an idea of playing with two activities: the first one shows ads and the second one is the actual application. Is it possible to show two activities simultaneously on the screen? Say, ad mob-activity at top and the application at the bottom. Or what would be the easiest way to achieve this? Best wishes!

barx Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 17, 2011 #2 Hi Kapslok I'm pretty new to this too so my answer could be slightly off. Android can only display one active activity at a time. One way you could achieve your goal would be to have a activity with 2 panels. One showing the Ad mob, other for the app. This would keep them seperate, but both would be active at the same time.

K Kapslok Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 19, 2011 #4 thanks barx and cableguy! I suspect you're right, only one activity can be on the display once. Some weeks ago I got the admob working right, but unfortunately it took the keyboard focus. Result was that once I pushed a key in order to play the game, I triggered the admob. This would be good for my admob business, but would drive users crazy... Then Erel gave some advice of setting the focus correctly and that >>nearly<< worked. http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/9323-admob-takes-keys-focus.html Idea was to have two views. The first one is the adview and the second is the game. Problem was not quite solved. I got impression that the setting the focus of input is a wee bit tricky. It would be ok, if only the tap on the adview would trigger the admob. This I haven't achieved yet... Well, back to drawing board, thanks for replies! Kapslok Upvote 0
