Protect users from misclicks on ads

[dop2000]

Hello,

 

In my game for Android I'm using the whole screen for touch input. So I'm really worried that users will often click ads by mistake.

To prevent this I want to implement the following:

I will place 100% transparent view above AdView. When user clicks this view, my app will display a toast message "If you really want to open ad, please touch it again".

Then this transparent view is removed for several seconds to allow user to touch ad again.

 

I tried this and it works. But am I allowed to do this? Does this violate any AdMob rules?

Don't think you can inject a click event on the ad after they agree on the toast message. So, if you did this, you would have to make them dismiss the toast and then click on the ad again afterwards.

Just to make it absolutely clear:

My app doesn't generate any clicks. Both clicks are made by user.

First click is consumed by my view, second click goes to AdView.  So only one click goes to AdMob.
