Issues with getting AdView to work when Activity is inside a library

[Akash dixit]

So I have a project with Activity (Let's call it X) which loads an AdView and it all works just fine. Now I have another Activity (let's call it Y) which opens after certain actions, that Activity is inside a library project. Activity Y opens just fine and works well but the AdView I add to it never has anything in it, it is just just blank. Here are some odd messages I see on the logs:

Hi there,

Can you confirm what AdError is being thrown by the AdListener? It looks like the AdRequest is unable to proceed with the Activity and might be an implementation issue. Can you try to reproduce with our sample apps and let us know? Or give us steps to reproduce this issue?

Hi Akash, 

Can you provide us a sample project and send us the steps to reproduce to debug this on our end? Also, please share complete device logs.

There is no problem in code impletation because when i make this activity as launcher in manifestfile it show ads

        <activity android:name=".home.download.Ad">

<intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            </intent-filter>

        </activity>

But when i remove intent filter and visit that activity after some action that activity not show ads

     <activity android:name=".home.download.Ad"></activity>

Hi Akash,

From what I understand, you are only able to load ads from the MainActivity? And not from any other Activity from within the app? We do have an advanced sample app that loads an ad from a Fragment and this might help you with the integration. If this still does not fix the issue, do send us a sample app and we will help you with the integration.
