Is there any problem in showing an ad of same 'Ad unit ID' multiple times in the same activity?

[Hammad Nasir]

I have a RecyclerView in which I have put the AdMob ad.

I have written this code to show the ad having same Ad unit ID at random positions in the recyclerview:

Random rand = new Random();

NativeExpressAdView adView = (NativeExpressAdView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.adView);
adView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

if (count >= random) {
    random = rand.nextInt(3);  // Reset the counter to random integer
    count = 0;
    adView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .addTestDevice("********")
            .addTestDevice("********")
            .build();
    adView.loadAd(request);

} else {
    count++;
} 

here's the xml part:

<com.google.android.gms.ads.NativeExpressAdView
    android:id="@+id/adView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-***/***"
    ads:adSize="320x80">
</com.google.android.gms.ads.NativeExpressAdView>

So, I just want to know that is this a good practice or is there any policy violation or such thing in doing this?

Please let me know.

Hello,

Using one ad unit ID for your native express ads in a RecyclerView implementation is fine. If you check our NativeExpressRecyclerViewExample, you can see we also use one ad unit ID.

Whoa!

I really appreciate this quick reply from you. This is a sigh of relief! Thanks, Vu Chau!

So, do you mean that I can continue with my above written code which shows the same ads(ads with same Ad unit ID) at random positions in a RecyclerView? And I'll not be banned or anything from using google admob with this account?

I'd really appreciate it if you could reply me about above questions and also let me know that how this above practice would effect the revenue generation?

Thanks again.

Hi Hammad,

Yes, that is absolutely correct. You are fine using the same ad unit ID for all your native express ads in the RecyclerView. Adding your NativeExpressAdView in any order (sequential or random) is fine. We do it sequentially here.

As far as revenue is concerned, that is determined by how fast/slow your users will be scrolling through the list. The more ads shown, the more revenue generated. Having said that, you can preload your native express ads, so when the time comes for showing them, they can quickly be shown and register impressions immediately. This way, you will not have to wait for the new ad request to execute.
