SMART_BANNER strange affect

[Антон Захарьев]

Recently I changed my adView's size from BANNER to SMART_BANNER. And had Samsung user's complain about strange font size for entire app.

As we know Samsung provides convenient way to change font size for sustem, so the bug is that during first activity creation font is different from settings in OS, but after just a rotation it comes to needed values.

Also it somehow related with release version or minifying, because in debug it works fine, but after Build > Build signed  APK it shows up

build.gradle

android {

    compileSdkVersion 23

    buildToolsVersion '25.0.3'

    defaultConfig {

        applicationId "..."

        minSdkVersion 15

        targetSdkVersion 23

        versionCode 110

        versionName "..."

    }

    buildTypes {

        release {

            minifyEnabled true

//            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android_amazon.txt')

            proguardFiles 'proguard-android_amazon.txt'

            signingConfig signingConfigs.config

        }

    }

}

Hi there,

Interesting. Would you be able to answer the following questions for us to narrow down the cause of the issue?

• Can you see the behavior only for Smart Banners, and not for regular Banner Ads?
• Does the issue only arise when AdMob ads are shown? 
• Does this only happen on Samsung Devices?

Additionally, can you provide us a sample application/project where we can replicate the issue? Can you, also, try and verify if you can replicate the same behavior on our sample applications?

Regards,

Sorry, I don't have time to investigate this issue, I just switched back to 'BANNER' size.

The only thing on which I can answer: 

• Can you see the behavior only for Smart Banners, and not for regular Banner Ads? - Yes
