Have you updated your Manifest file and use Firebase now?

e.g. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...b-ads-integrated-with-firebase-backend.67710/

What version of B4A are you using?

What version of the Admob library have you got installed?

If these seem up-to-date and correctly set up it might be worth trying to just display the Banner ad and seeing if that works and then the Interstatial..?

when i commented out

B4X:

IAd.Initialize("iad", "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxx/xxxxx")
IAd.LoadAd

it works why?
just in case this is my manifest file, i use it all the time

Hmm... I don't know - I know there were quite a few issues with interstitials, but I don't use them myself - someone else who does might come along and explain the issue you have.

ETA : this? https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebaseadmob-error.78680/

thank you eps

Could be something to do with you initializing & loading the ads before you load your layout. Try putting the ad code after your Activity.Loadlayout call. If that doesn't fix it, try running the app in debug mode so you can see which line of code is causing the crash.

Or maybe not. I just ran a test on one of my apps where I put the interstitial code before the Loadlayout & it didn't crash. I don't use banners though, so still might be worth a try.

Worth checking the unfiltered logs. There might be more information there.

You are using FirebaseAdmob, right?

jchal · Jul 27, 2017

i have sorted it out thank you

Computersmith64 · Jul 27, 2017

What was the cause? Might be useful for others who have problems if you can post your solution.

- Colin.

jchal · Jul 27, 2017
