  • Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to figure out if this is only happening to me or if anyone else has noticed the same behavior.

    Since Construct r486 (and still in r495 Stable), my Mobile Advert banners are automatically displayed on Android even though I create them with **"Show = No"**.

    Expected behavior:

    - Create Banner (Show = No)

    - Banner preloads in the background.

    - Banner stays hidden until I call **"Show Banner"**.

    Actual behavior:

    - As soon as the banner finishes loading, it becomes visible automatically, even though "Show = No" was selected.

    I tested this:

    - Construct r485 Stable → Works correctly.

    - Construct r495 Stable → Banner appears automatically.

    - Android Studio (Cordova) export.

    - Two different Android devices.

    - Two different projects.

    While investigating the generated Android project, I noticed that changing:

    ```java

    private boolean hidden = false;

    to:

    private boolean hidden = true;

    makes everything work as expected again. The banner preloads correctly and only appears after calling "Show Banner".

    Has anyone else experienced this on recent Construct versions?

    I'd like to know if this is a regression in the Mobile Advert plugin before reporting it as a bug.

    Thanks!
