[Native ad] Ensure that the whitespace (or background image) is not clickable

[wanm...@gmail.com]

Hi, 

As the policy page says, Ensure that the whitespace (or background image) is not clickable.

What I want to confirm is: 

If I want to show NativeAdView which only contains headline,  and set the width of TextView to be match_parent.

There are two cases:

1. The headlines are long enough and there is no white space, Click the ad will take you to the app or browser. 

2. The headlines are short and there are a lot white spaces. Click the white space also takes you to the app or browser. 

Is it illegal to set the width of TextView be match_parent in this case?

Hello everyone,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We don't recommend using match_parent to the width of TextView in this context as it may create a clickable blank space if the text is not long enough. An alternative would be putting a non clickable View beside the TextView and setting this to match_parent to avoid the clickable blank space.
 

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2msGJg:ref"

Thanks,
