I've got a game based on AndEngine using MoPub ads with the AdMob adapter, and with v6.1.0 of the AdMob SDK. I'm using the latest mopub-client code pulled from GitHub today. I've also tried this after removing the native adapter.
I display ads using a FrameLayout which contains a SurfaceView and the MoPubView.
The device I'm testing on is a 4.1 (Jelly Bean) Galaxy Nexus.
Problem is, when the ad happens to be one with multiple frames, as the frames change, the rest of the screen goes blank (i.e., the game vanishes and users are left with a black screen with the banner ad still dutifully rendering in the top)
This seems to occur more frequently if I leave the app then return to it.
Also, if I make a dialog appear (with the back button), the game will reappear behind it until I :
1) dismiss the dialog
2) wait for the next frame in the banner ad animation
Any ideas how I can debug this further, or has anyone encountered this before and knows what I need to do? Is there a better alternative method for overlaying a banner on a SurfaceView?
Cheers
i had the same problem on a Nexus 7 and it was solved with:
adView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

Since one or two weeks some ads inside my app wont show up and would just flicker!
Its random when this happens, and it flickers continuously
I have banner ads and video ads in my app and thats the way i call them:
holder.wv.setInitialScale(1);
holder.wv.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null); //i call that on banner ads, stackoverflow fix
holder.wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
holder.wv.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(1, 0, 0, 0)); //stackoverflow fix
holder.wv.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
holder.wv.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
holder.wv.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
holder.wv.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
//loadurl etc
I already googled a lot and found out that the hardware acceleration might be problem so I am turning it off for the banner ads but for my video ads i cant because otherwise they wouldnt work
My ads are integrated in a Recyclerview that loads a CardView with the Webview inside. I have 4-5 on each site but there were no problems with the amount of ads, never. There must be kind of issue with the Webview or the Chrome Driver itself? Thats what came up when I searched for my problem
Does anyone encountered this problem?
E/chromium: [ERROR:tile_manager.cc(793)] WARNING: tile memory limits exceeded, some content may not draw
I resetted the Android System Webview in Settings -> Apps and now the flickering is gone!
84.0.4147.111 was the latest version and stock version of my Galaxy S10 80.0.3987.99 works now!
Hope this gets fixed:

When I use AdMob in my activity it is slowing down all my other view animations, introducing artifacts on them and so on. Did anyone have this and was able to somehow solve it?
UPDATE: I have a really old Nexus 7 with Android 4.4.2 and it was running everything perfectly smooth. Then I upgraded it to Android 4.4.4 and it started to show that crappy performance + artifacts. What could have changed there in this small update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4??
We have had this issue on a couple of our games. The problem in our case was as follows.
The game itself had a bunch of layers to accommodate all the animations, and the Ad later was on top of the game layers, this messed up the renderer as it had to cater for the ad while rendering the scene. We had to hide the ad during game play to ensure full speed animation. An alternative was to adjust the size of the animation layers to ensure that they did not overlap the ad layer, but we did not go that route as our home grown framework did not support that.
Hope that helps.
I am working on a live wallpaper and I need to display a banner on top of the preview screen. I have tried several solutions, but none seems to work. I found a similar question here but I think the solution that was proposed there was more to display banners in the settings screen.
The toolkit I am using (which seems to be a wrapper of AdMob) has been built for standard android applications (not live wallpapers), and it needs an activity to be able to display the banner.
So my questions is:
is there a way to display an ad in a live wallpaper in preview mode?
otherwise, is there a way to include an activity inside the preview of live wallpaper or use the preview mode itself as an activity?
Thanks for your answer.
I have successfully integrate RevMob full screen Ads
I used full screen ad in a different way for example :
when user press play button the full screen ad appears and after 5 sec. it will disappear automatically and redirect to the game.
I have done 5 sec. wait to display ad, after that i want to remove ad without any click event, i don't know how it is possible..?
I have already used hide() method but not working.
As describe on RevMob Documentation site:
hide()
Hide the ad - If it is not loaded, it will not be automatically show after it is loaded.
If hide() is not working maybe there is a bug on the SDK, which version are you using?
I recommend you to contact the sdk guys (sdk#revmob.com).
I've put some ads into one of my android apps and I'm just testing it out on my device.
When I load up my app, it can take around 5-10 seconds for the ad to display. Realistically, the user would have moved onto another screen by then so would never see them.
Is there any way I can have the ad show instantly? If not, how can I ever get ads to display in time for the user to see them (and potentially click)?
I could add some thread delaying on the buttons to stop them doing anything until the ad shows, but that's incredibly dirty...
Add a splash screen on the application (ImageView over the layout of your main screen), and make it disappear when you receive an add (there's an ad listener on AdMob and most ad providers) or if there's no ad to show. As for the other screens, there's not much you can do other than showing a ProgressDialog until the ad shows, but your users won't like it.
