MobileAds.initialize() working

[Ali asjad]

Hi,
i am using Admob ads in two processes. I am getting a crash.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Using WebView from more than one process at once with the same data directory is not supported. https://crbug.com/558377

       at org.chromium.android_webview.AwBrowserProcess.a + 40(AwBrowserProcess.java:40)

       at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main + 912(ZygoteInit.java:912)

I have done something like this in my Application class:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=  Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
    if (getProcessName().equals(getPackageName())) {
        MobileAds.initialize(this,getString(R.string.ad_mob_app_id));
    }else {
        WebView.setDataDirectorySuffix("ads_dir");
    }
}else {
    MobileAds.initialize(this,getString(R.string.ad_mob_app_id));
}

My Question is:
1) Do i need to call MobileAds.initialize(this,getString(R.string.ad_mob_app_id)); in both process?
2) In Andoid P Should i call MobileAds.initialize(this,getString(R.string.ad_mob_app_id)); after WebView.setDataDirectorySuffix("ads_dir"); or before?

Yes, it helps but I am confused. There are two processes Main process and let suppose "test" process. I know i have to set WebView.setDataDirectorySuffix("ads_dir"); for "test" process.

My question: do I need to call MobileAds.initialize(this,getString(R.string.ad_mob_app_id)); in both process? or i have to initialize in Main process only and just set data directory for "test" process.

Hi Ali,

 

My apologies on the link I gave not being sufficient for your purposes. I'll be discussing your concern with the rest of the team in order to gather our insights on this. Rest assured that we'll get back to you shortly.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for reaching out to us. First of all, Google Mobile Ads SDK only support one process. You cannot request ads on multiple processes. Secondly, we advise you to call WebView.setDataDirectorySuffix() on every process you create that uses a WebView. On the process that initializes MobileAds, call it before the initialize() method.

Hope it helps,
