Native Advance - UnifiedNativeAdView

[Vjy Anand]

I use Native Advance Ad units (video disabled) with UnifiedNativeAdView class. I am not using MediaView as my Adunit doesn't have video enabled. However, I see below logs in logcat

08-02 21:51:24.117 20139 20139 I Ads     : Received log message: <Google:HTML> You are using the deprecated native ads API. Upgrade to the unified native ads APIs to simplify your native ads integration and to maximize advertiser demand for your native ad impressions. See https://goo.gl/ftp5no for more details.

08-02 21:51:24.118 20139 20139 I Ads     : Received log message: <Google:HTML> No media view is detected. Please implement media view even when no video creative is received. See https://goo.gl/BMzTS2 for more details.

Why do I see these messages even when I use UnifiedNativeAdView and Video disabled in adunit settings? How to address this issue? Thanks

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for reaching out to us. This sounds like an integration issue. For the first issue, make sure that you have updated to the latest version of the SDK and try again. As for the No Media View detected error, the SDK requires you to integrate MediaView even if you are not showing any video. MediaView will also be able to load image assets from the ad response and you can read more about this here.

1) Why MediaView is needed if video or image assets are not used(both are optional) 

2) implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1', is this the latest? 

[mobileadssdk-a...@google.com]

Hi Vijay,

You can ignore this log if you do not have any MediaView to load. However, if you have a main image to be rendered in the app, you are required to use MediaView - 

"You are required to use the MediaView asset instead of the ImageView asset if you want to include a main image asset in the layout for your native ad."

And, v15.0.0 is the latest version for the SDK and you can monitor this here.

I have the same problem, we are using UnifiedNativeAds and v15.0.1 that is the last one defined in Google's Maven: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/index.html 

[mobileadssdk-a...@google.com]

Hello Fran, 

Could you elaborate the issue you're facing along with the complete device logs so I can take a look at the error you're receiving and assist you on this?

Of course,

Using this sample: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-android-examples/tree/master/kotlin/admob/NativeAdvancedExample
