native-ads

I am familiar with AdMob and with banner and interstials. I'm adding native ads functionality and something weird is happening because even if using the same AdRequest as for insterstitials/banners, for banners/interstitials I am getting test ads but for native ads, I get the live ones. adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).addTestDevice("mydeviceIdFromLogcat").build(); So my question is, native ads do not have test ads? No. Native ads do not provide test ads the way we are used to (via addTestDevice() on AdRequest ). From the Google Mobile Ads SDK

I have a weird "problem" or may be it's a "feature" and I just don't know, whenever a NativeAdExpress is loaded in my RecyclerView if only part of the NativeAd is visible, it forces the RecyclerView to scroll until the Native ad becomes fully visible, this behavior causes the list to keep jumping as I scroll. My Layout is mainly: Activity > AppBar with Tabs and ViewPager > each Page in the Pager contains PullToRefresh and inside it there's a RecyclerView, The RecyclerView has 2 types of items (Article and NativeAdExpress). UPDATE: My guess on why this is happening is mainly because native ads

I got an email from AdMob today saying: Change to native ads policy: Native ads will require MediaView to render the video or main image asset. In an effort to help you deliver a better ad experience more easily, beginning October 29th, native ads will require MediaView to render the video or main image asset. Ad units not compliant by this date will stop serving ads, which could impact your ad revenue. I tried this out in my Android app, removing the separate handling of images with ImageView and video with MediaView , but I have found that the MediaView is not resizing the view's height

I'm trying to implement NativeAd in my app. Everything worked fine until yesterday, it's now printing these error logs. I/Ads: WebView loading for native ads. I/Ads: Javascript has loaded for native ads. I/Ads: Received log message: <Google:HTML> Incorrect native ad response. Click actions were not properly specified onAdFailedToLoad errorCode = 0 So I can't show native ads anymore. Here's how I do the requests. private AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder() .build(); private NativeAdOptions nativeAdOptions = new NativeAdOptions.Builder() .setAdChoicesPlacement(ADCHOICES_TOP_RIGHT)

I am trying to add Native ads in my recyclerView. For that I am following this tutorial . But looks like my RecyclerViewAdapter is a little bit different than what they have with them. package com.comp.app.adapters; public class RecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerViewAdapter.RecyclerViewHolder> { private Context context; private Constants constants; private String androidId; private String id; private ArrayList<CardSetterGetter> arrayList = new ArrayList<CardSetterGetter>(); private ArrayList<String> favouriteItemList = new ArrayList<String>(); private int totalCount;
