Android webview resetting after playing fullscreen ad

[Itsbailey X]

When setting the android webview to the html file that's apart of the app and then loading the admob ad the webview will reset and go back to original html file that was set in the MainActivity and if its already on it, it will reload the webpage

so if its `mywebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");` and the user goes to `main.html` and then gets an ad it will go back to index.html and that will also cause any JavaScript code I'm sending to my html file through the callback on rewarded ads not to go through/not reward the player.

If necessary I can provide my MainActivity.java file (it's a mess but it works... Other than the issue I'm having right now)

Hello,

Could you please elaborate and provide more details on your concern? Are you implementing WebView API for ads (https://developers.google.com/admob/android/webview)?
 

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2o6p7S:ref"

Thanks,

When the user receives and ad, no matter what happened, when they close the ad the WebView will reset and go back to the originally set URL or if it's already on it, it will refresh the page. This is unwanted as it causes the rewarded ads not to reward the player for the ad, the callback will evaluate some javascript to reward the player so if the page is the correct one or is loaded in time it will not reward the player and like aforementioned it will put them back the the menu screen each time.

I'm not using the WebView API as the html file itself doesn't show ads and I don't want it too. That being said if I need to then I will but im using the "Google ads mobile SDK".

I hope this helps

Hello,

Thank you for responding back and confirming that you were using Rewarded ads. For your use case, you will need to check the OnUserEarnedRewardListener to handle the reward events. Sample implementation can be found here: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rewarded#show_the_ad.

Hi,

Sorry if I've sent this email/message twice now but I cannot see the other one I sent before but I have "OnUserEarnedRewardListener" and when checking logcat it works properly and doesn't throw any errors and evals the JavaScript correctly but it gets rewarded because when the ad is finished the WebView is reset and goes back to the originally set URL and if its already on this URL then it refreshes, this is the same with all other types of ads that go full screen.

Hello again,

Sorry for all the trouble but it wasn't an issue with the google ads but was because the WebView would reset when the screen was rotated which originally I didn't need to know how to stop this as the game was just meant to be landscape only but I've figured it out now all everything works. Thank you loads
