Admob game freezes

Hi Scirra community,

I got a problem that I just can't solve and I tried a lot but perhaps I am simply missing something here.

The problem: after my game has shown a interstitial it sometimes(20%) freezes up the game/screen after returning to the game.(so I clicked the x in the ad and it returns to the game but in a state as it was before the ad was shown.) When I swap tabs on my devices(press the right square) and click on the tab on which the game is, it works again as if it never froze up.

Solutions I tried but failed:( : to restart the layout with the on dismissed event. I also tried to restart layout action right after the shown ad action. I don't need to restart the layout but I tried to solve it like this, however it failed. I also tried to remove the entire on dismissed event but the result was not different.

None of this happened when I have no internet connection.

It was tested on a Moto G and on a Nexus 7.

I would really appreciate it if you know a solution.

Had the same problem when I was using C2 official AdMob plugin + Cordova AdMob library. Once I changed Cordova AdMob to Phonegap AdMob library, everything works fine.

Thanks for your response. Can I change that in Intel xdk at plugin management? If you could explain me how to change it, that would be awesome.

If you set it up already then you know how to do this. You had to set up a plugin in C2 and you had to set up a library (plugin) in Intel XDK right? What plugin do you use in C2 and Intel XDK?

Well in c2 its the standard admobs. And in Intel xdk i use the plugin management but I will need to know the code/line to add the plugin from phonegap just like I needed for the Cordova one, but I might be able to find that on the internet. But are you using a separate plugin for C2 for the ads?

You should basically do exactly like manual says.

C2 official AdMob plugin + phonegab plugin i Intel XDK.

Thanks for the help. I'll try it out. I'll let it know in this thread if it solves my problem.

Well I did what you said, but now I am getting an old error I had before. It is in this thread.

I already thought I used phonegap before for ads but wasn't sure. Then I was told to use cordova wich solved the problem at that time. But gave me a my current problem. Perhaps in all your wisdom you know what I am doing wrong here.

What plugins you have added in Intel XDK? Can you post a screenshot?

Sure

Hmmm I see you have different Device and Splashscreen plugin. Try to remove them and add again.

Thanks for all your effort, I tried it. But it didn´t work I also readded the vibration plugin just to be sure. But it made no difference. Also no difference with the crosswalk 16. Perhaps you can have a look at my buildlog. Or perhaps you have a different suggestion. It's so weird this issue.<img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

If you prefer a different uploader let me know. Sadly the buildlog is to big/long to post here.

Can you post the content of your intelxdk.config.additions.xml file?

<intelxdk:plugin intelxdk:name="game" intelxdk:value="https://github.com/cranberrygame/com.cranberrygame.phonegap.plugin.game" intelxdk:id="com.cranberrygame.phonegap.plugin.game">

<intelxdk:param intelxdk:name="APP_ID" intelxdk:value="913458895970" />

</intelxdk:plugin>

<intelxdk:plugin intelxdk:name="org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" intelxdk:value="org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" />

Ok. That might be the issue. Remove everything you have there and paste this.

<preference name="debuggable" value="false" />
<intelxdk:crosswalk xwalk-command-line="--ignore-gpu-blacklist" />
<intelxdk:crosswalk xwalk-command-line="--disable-pull-to-refresh-effect" />
<preference name="CrosswalkAnimatable" value="false" />[/code:ha3ynd1h]
