Not sure how to investigate it. - I think it happens when the admobs are loaded oncreate.

This errors started to appear when I started using mediation with unity. I have added Facebook ads also but it is still not available.

This is my code

mAdView = findViewById(R.id.ad_view);

RequestConfiguration conf = MobileAds.getRequestConfiguration().toBuilder()
        .setTagForChildDirectedTreatment(TAG_FOR_CHILD_DIRECTED_TREATMENT_FALSE)
        .setTagForUnderAgeOfConsent(TAG_FOR_UNDER_AGE_OF_CONSENT_FALSE)
        .setMaxAdContentRating(MAX_AD_CONTENT_RATING_G)
        .build();
MobileAds.setRequestConfiguration(conf);

MobileAds.initialize(this, new OnInitializationCompleteListener() {
    @Override
    public void onInitializationComplete(InitializationStatus initializationStatus) {
    }
});


AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();


mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);


mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);

mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx");

mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener()
{
    @Override
    public void onAdLoaded()
    {
        //log interstitial loaded
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode)
    {
        Log.d(TAG, "onAdFailedToLoad : errorcode : " + String.valueOf(errorCode));
        super.onAdFailedToLoad(errorCode);
    }
    @Override
    public void onAdClosed()
    {

        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
        // Ad interstitialAd reLoaded
        Log.d(TAG, "Ad interstitialAd reLoaded");
        super.onAdClosed();
    }
});
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());

@Override protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    try {
        if (mAdView != null) {
            mAdView.setAdListener(null);
            if (adscontainerWait != null)
                adscontainerWait.removeAllViews();
            mAdView.destroy();

        }
        mInterstitialAd = null;

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        Log.d(TAG, ex.toString());
    }
}

Hi there,

Thank you for providing additional details of the issue. I've downloaded your app in the Play Store; however, I wasn't able to replicate the issue on my end. Could you also share your App Id/ Ad Unit Id? In addition, could you confirm if the issue is reproducible locally? It would be much appreciated if you can provide a sample project (with the issue reproduced) to me so I could further investigate on my end.

Please use Reply privately to author option to send the details privately.
