Hi,

I have noticed will google analytics that my admob smart_banners are getting 'screen-dismissed' in about 1-2% of the time.

With GA, I have also noticed that the same device (i.e Galaxy S IV) can receive (or not if no internet connection) the ad in ~99% of the cases, but will always 'screen dismiss' it in 1-2% of the cases.

In B4A, I think my smart banner sizes are correct:
  • Phone portait : 50dip
  • Phone Landscape: 32dip
  • 7 Inch Landscape : 50dip
  • 7 Inch Portrait : 90dip
  • 10 Inch Portrait / landscape : 90dip

Anybody have an idea why this happens?

Here are some numbers I got this week:
  1. Ad Received : 22,291(86.82%) --> User is seeing an ad
  2. Failed to Receive Ad : 2,978(11.60%) --> No ad displayes, I guess because of no internet connection
  3. View Full Version : 219(0.85%) --> User clicks on my button to see the full version
  4. Screen Dismissed : 187(0.73%) --> Screen dismissed?

Screen dismissed by device (Screen Dismissed):
  1. (not set) : 20(10.70%)
  2. Samsung GT-I9505 Galaxy S IV : 13(6.95%)
  3. Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S III : 10(5.35%)
  4. Samsung SCH-I545 Galaxy S IV : 9(4.81%)
  5. Samsung SPH-L710 for Sprint : 9(4.81%)
  6. ...
Though here we can see that the same device can receive the ad (Ad Received):
  1. (not set) : 1,664(7.46%)
  2. Samsung GT-I9505 Galaxy S IV : 992(4.45%)
  3. Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S III : 979(4.39%)
  4. Samsung SCH-I535 Galaxy S III : 580(2.60%)
  5. ...
It's not a huge loss, but still, over a month that's still about 1000 impressions lost.... :-(
Note that I track those events directly from the raised events of Admob. I'm going to release a new version of my app where I track the
GetDeviceLayoutValues -> 'ToString' to get more info on this problem.

Thanks.

What exactly does "screen dismissed" mean? Isn't it related to a user action?

Thanks your reply Erel,

I get those events from the events raised by admob:
Events:
ReceiveAd
FailedToReceiveAd (ErrorCode As String)
AdScreenDismissed
PresentScreen
Click to expand...
(http://www.b4x.com/android/help/admob.html)

[edit] I thought that this event meant that the Ad Size I set is wrong compared to the ad size required by Admob.

I see... I was mislead by the name, I though it was raised when the screen couldn't fit the ad or something like that.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Regards
