Advertiser assets outside native ad view.

[Rakesh Kumar]

For few cards I am getting that advertiser assets outside the native ad view. 

for few its working fine. 

While in both the cases I am using same layout. And 80-90% time it's giving no issue but some times getting issue.

But not able to find out which assets are out side the native view. 

Please help on this, this is a very long pending issue. 

Screenshot 1: (with_issue)

Screenshot 2: (no_issue)

Hi ,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.

Kindly note that Native Validator automatically alerts you of certain policy violations in your UI through an overlay popup next to the ad.

I have tested our Sample project with the provided code changes but unfortunately we are unable to reproduce the issue which you reported. Instead we got a different warning issue “MediaView is too small for video” caused by “0dp” value for the MediaView height constraint. After changing this constraint to” wrap_content” it worked as  expected without any issues.

Additionally, please note that you are using the  “native_ad_view” id  from adContainer. This id  contains the native_ad_view and was inflated properly?. Could you try setting the  NativeAdView as the root of the layout. 

Could you confirm whether the mentioned issue is reproducible in our sample project after integrating your code? If yes,please share the sample project which replicates the issue via reply to author option? for further investigation.
