sdkbox.PluginAdMob.init() crashing in Android

cabronious · November 30, 2020, 8:49pm

I am just trying to run the example on this page. I used the ad-id provided by default rather than my own id as I am just running an example to test.

I noticed someone had the same issue in the past but appears to have miraculously resolved itself.

However, for me the problem remains.

Based on that thread, I followed:

adb logcat > crash.txt
click app on device
command + c abort adb logcat command after app crash, then attach the crash.txt file in the forum.

I couldn’t attach with a .txt extension, so I have changed the extensioncrash.pdf (1.1 MB) to .pdf.

What can I do to resolve this issue?

is your AppActivity extends com.sdkbox.plugin.SDKBoxActivity?

public class AppActivity extends com.sdkbox.plugin.SDKBoxActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // Workaround in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16283079/re-launch-of-activity-on-home-button-but-only-the-first-time/16447508
        if (!isTaskRoot()) {
            // Android launched another instance of the root activity into an existing task
            //  so just quietly finish and go away, dropping the user back into the activity
            //  at the top of the stack (ie: the last state of this task)
            // Don't need to finish it again since it's finished in super.onCreate .

Thank you! That fixed the crash. I didn’t see that in the guide here.

However, I am still having some problems. I have my admob.ts in the attached zip folderadmob.zip (111.4 KB) .

When I start the app, after several seconds, I see image1 from the attached zip. If I press the “Cache Interstitial” button I see image2. If I press the “Show Interstitial” button, nothing happens.

Do I need to get a proper ad-id for this to work?

ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL,
Admob has no advertisement to return to you.

use test mode or admob test ad id,

Thanks again!

It’s working!

Perhaps these additional steps should be included in the guide I referred to above? The guide does mention configuring with your ad id, but does not give guidance about a test id if you don’t have your own ad id.
