How to avoid Admob blocking the UI thread

Question

I have detected some of my activities are blocked at the launch. So I wrote that code in a new project:

public class LayoutTestActivity extends Activity {

          


        

Answer 1

Use threads:

public class LayoutTestActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    long now = System.currentTimeMillis();

    new Thread(new Runnable() {

        public void run() {
            new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "MY_ID");               
        }
    }).start();

    Log.e("Admob Test","The UI was blocked "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-now)+"ms");
}
