Ad click appears to start browser open, but doesn't display -- returns no info for ad overlay

[Stuart Roskelley]

Hi all,

I have the test ads running fine on my testing phone (moto x) and the live ones showed up with my brief test on my wife's s4. Which I click on the ads however, they produce some weird behavior. The first click when the app is initially started appears to start the animation for opening another app (browser I assume). Immediately after the animation, nothing happens. Click from there on don't do anything. I'm getting this error in my logcat:

W/Ads     ( 8630): Could not get info for ad overlay.

Also, shortly before that, I have a slew of other fields not resolved errors and a couple others all from the google play services. All of these are below. I'm not sure how to proceed at this point or what to look for in debugging. Also, as a note, I've added the extra flags in the proguard config, though I'm not sure my builder is even using that. As a background to my setup, it is basically a single RelativeLayout with a SurfaceView and the ads overlaid on the bottom. The surfaceview is updated via python/pygame content, so there is nothing there that would prevent the java setup.

I was able to remove a lot of errors mentioned above with the resolve static fields items. I was including the raw services jar in my libs instead of adding at as a library. I did so (ant is a bit annoying to get it working), so now my only error is the one bolded above.

I found this same error here after researching for awhile: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20890665/admob-ads-displaying-but-click-through-doesnt-work

Since I'm NOT using the xml version of the admobs (programmatically only), how do I defined the admob process? Currently it is ":python" in my AndroidManifest.xml.

[Stuart Roskelley]

GOT IT! I just had to add the process name in the AdActivity xml item:

<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"

             android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"

             android:process=":python"

             />

Stuart,

THANKS!   The process=":python" bit you posted just solved a problem I've been working on for a long time.
