Admob ads with Android application with multiple processes.

[Francisco Zurita]

Hello, I seem to have run into an issue that I can't figure out. I'm using admob through playwire and seem to be having issues when attempting to click on ads under certain situations.

For some background, my application consists of multiple processes, so the admob library has to be initiated more than once, once per process (I presume). On both processes there are activities and one activity in each process has ads.

My problem is the following: Clicking on ads works correctly when they are clicked on the first starting process. When I click on ads on the second process though, the screen acts like a secondary activity should be getting launched, but something is failing along the way and the ad click fails.

Please see the attached video for demonstration:

I have attached two files, one is the APK and the other is a V64 file that needs to be loaded into the app before ads will be shown.

Hi Francisco,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Can you confirm what development platform were you using on your application? Also, what ad format have you implemented in your app? In addition to that, can you provide us the steps to replicate this behavior on the apk you provided?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "development platform". I am using the latest Android studio though with the latest Android SDK and latest playwire provided libraries.

I'm using 320x50 add units and 300x250 add units.

The ones that don't work are the 2nd ones in the video which are 300x250.

To reproduce the issue, select the hamburger menu on the top left and select "Refresh ROMs". In there select the provided v64 file. Once the provided v64 file is loaded, select the file in the gallery to start the emulation process. You will see the ad not working when clicked there.

I figured it out. I forgot to include this:

<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" android:multiprocess="true"/>

Also, the answer for this was very hard to find, google search was not giving any obvious answers.
