How to handle native ads background?

[Liran Barsisa]

I've noticed that sometimes the image that is assigned to the "iconView" is white colored icon with a transparent background.

Thing is, the background of the ad might be white, so the image won't be visible.

Theoretically, no matter which background I choose, some ad might not look well on it for its icon.

I've tried to check for guidelines about how to handle it, but I don't see any:

Only thing that's mentioned is to have it distinguished from the rest.

There is also "Native Templates" that I could try (maybe with the "withMainBackgroundColor" there):

https://developers.google.com/admob/android/native/templates

I don't know if it will solve it. Probably not.

In any case, currently I was told to continue with what we have. 

I tried to contact the Admob support (https://apps.admob.com/v2/home ), but the form always says there is an error.

How do you handle such a thing?

Why aren't there rules for the ad-publishers about which images to choose? 

I use this, BTW:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:22.1.0'

I can't find the rest of the conversation here.

Anyway , I've provided you with the details, and you wrote you think I mean the ad-choices.

I didn't mean the ad-choices.

I meant the icon that's set for iconView . I even gave you a screenshot and told you to look on the left. It has "Wolt" icon, which is white.

It can be white, and as the background is white (even on the samples), you won't be able to see it.

Please continue the conversation here.
