Hi,

Please, banner fails to load (most of attempts as a Error Code 0) on EventActivity.

Considerations:

1) Result is the same on emulator, on real devices, using test_id or using real_id.

2) I have a working TestBanner1 on a recyclerView on MainActivity (but for some reason a regular BANNER fails to load on EventActivity).

3) I tried to attach mediation-test-suite:0.9.2: everything green but it shows a config problem ... again not possible to be it because i have a working ad in another activity using the same ad_unit_id

4) I tried to remove the MainActivity banner to see if there was something affecting. It did not work

5) The problem is not the ad_unit_id. As I said I am using also the test_id.

6) See below that I tried with different devices, diferent versions of play-services-ads, i tried to remove other things to see if something was affecting and many other things that I am not mentioning... but really nothing have worked.

Guys, honestly, I have no clue on my side what should i do. Logs are definitely not showing the problem. I need your help.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you please confirm whether you are seeing this on the latest version of the SDK? The crash logs seems to point to a known issue that has been recently fixed. So, if you could confirm the SDK version, we will be able to investigate further.

Regards,

Hi,
Yes. I used com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.1.1. (see that i am not using firebase)
But this library usage returns a warning: "All gms/firebase libraries must use the exact same version specification. Found versions 17.1.1, 16.0.3, 16.0.1, 16.0.0. Examples include play-services-ads:17.1.1 and play-services-measument-base:16.0.4". Even with this warning, testBanner1 is displayed on MainActivity, but testBanner2 is not displayed on EventActivity.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
I would appreciate even a direction to debug. So far, I have no clue, as I said.
Just to add more details when I create a whole new project and insert the banner, it works. I don't understand this behaviour.
Thanks again. Please, anyting idea let me know. App is just waiting this resource to launch.

Hi there,

Thanks for waiting on this. Can you make sure that all of the libraries are pointing to the same version? What specific library is causing this error - "All gms/firebase libraries must use the exact same version specification. Found versions 17.1.1, 16.0.3, 16.0.1, 16.0.0. Examples include play-services-ads:17.1.1 and play-services-measument-base:16.0.4"?

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. Please, the problem is that SyncNow might be checking sublibraries that I do not have access. For example, I dont know which library "play-services-measument-base:16.0.4 " belongs to. Below, follow all dependencies i am using:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    implementation 'android.arch.work:work-runtime:1.0.0-alpha10' //work_manager_library
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.1.1' //for adMob
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.0'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'org.florescu.android.rangeseekbar:rangeseekbar-library:0.3.0'
    implementation ('com.facebook.android:facebook-login:[4,5)'){
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'cardview-v7'
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'customtabs'
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-core-utils'
    }

In short, I do not know how to make all libraries point to the version. Also, i check google/stackoverflow: they only show how to supress the warning using "//noinspection GradleCompatible" which did not work since it is just a way to supress a warning.

Would you guys have an ideia how to do it?

Hi Alex,

This seems like an implementation related issue rather than an issue with our SDK. I would suggest that you post it on stackoverflow or any other source for further assistance. I can also take a look into this again if you can share a simple sample project with us. You can use "Reply Privately to Author" option.

All right. Solved.

On my mainAcitivty I had the following code:

protected void onPause() {
    handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
    new WebView(this).pauseTimers(); 
    super.onPause();
}

The piece new WebView(this).pauseTimers(); was supposed to help to avoid memoryLeak and CPU high_usage from admob. But the point is that it not only pauses webview from MainActivity but all webview on project. That's why banners were only showing on MainAcitivy.

After commenting new WebView(this).pauseTimers() , testBanner on EventActivity is showing correctly.

I just could find this solution because you mentioned this might be a known issue on first answer... then i found this similiar problem below on forum which showed the solution:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-admob-ads-sdk/XIyFgbXW6b8

Thanks for the help, Deepika.
I hope my description above might help someone on the future, too.
