Appodeal interstitials restart my app

Itaychen96 · December 28, 2016, 2:17pm

I’m facing another issue… now with Appodeal rewardedVideo. first I’m getting test ads from Adcolony when testMode is false( not using Adcolony plugin with Appodeal ) and second the same weird “restart” happens when a rewardedVideo is hidden… exactly like the interstitial.

If you recently registered the app, you may still get test ads from some ad networks even when testMode=false. It can take a while for Appodeal to register your app with the different ad networks.

As for the “exit” problem, I still cannot reproduce it.

What other plugins are you using?

Thanks for the first answer!

Am using only Appodeal plugin as my ad provider.

build.settings:

&nbsp; &nbsp; plugins = &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; ["CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.google"] = &nbsp; &nbsp;{ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp;}, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.google.play.services"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.appodeal"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; },

I think it’s realy about my android device… When playing top rated games from the google play store when an interstitial or rewardedVideo ad shows, the game restarts. Any idea how can I fix this troubling issue…?

Aha. So it looks like it’s not a plugin issue then. I have not seen this kind of behavior on any of my own Android devices. I have Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus devices with Android versions from 2.3.6 up to 7.1 and all of them work as expected.

Unfortunately it looks like it’s an issue with that particular Xiaomi device.

Fixed!!

If you have ever messed with the developer settings on your phone, then it is an option
called “do not keep activities” with the description “clear every activity as soon as the user leaves it”. The reason this happens is because as the description says, when you leave the app it closes it, and when the ad pops up, it thinks you left the app and closes it. If you haven’t messed with your developer settings, look up a tutorial on how to open them, then check to see if that option is enabled. I hope this helps

found that on the Android Central forums.

Thank god!
