My Android app freezes when trying to open an AdMob Interstitial

952 views Asked by At

I am trying to show an Interstitial ad from AdMob in my app but it really doesn't work. In fact, I can see this message in Logcat :

I/Ads﹕ Ad opening.

And then, my app is just freezing. Here is the code I have until now. Note that I am trying to show this Interstitial ad from a fragment.

In the method "onCreateView" of my fragment :

mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(myContext);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId(myContext.getString(R.string.interstitial_ad_unit_id));
requestNewInterstitial();

... and then, still in the same method :

send_love.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        //new AttemptPostLove(user_id).execute();
        if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
            mInterstitialAd.show();
        }
    }
});

And finally, the method "requestNewInterstitial();" from the Google Documentation :

private void requestNewInterstitial() {
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .build();

    mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
}

EDIT: I've just noticed this "warning" in my Logcat :

W/Ads﹕ It is not recommended to show an interstitial before onAdLoaded completes.

Even if I don't fire the click event which should show the interstitial.

Can you help me?

Thanks!

IT's not direct resolution, but should help with typical ANR's problems:

ANR WatchDog

Setup, run it and it will crash application with elegant stacktrace in logcat, describing place that causes problem. I bet that there is some long running action in main thread...
