copied!<p>Having test my app with 2 different implementations of AdMob I found that implementing it via java code and not XML is match lighter for the app.</p> <p><strong>Update No1:</strong></p> <p>You can also add custom listeners to destroy after some time and recreate in order to handle it even better. Serverside there is also a parameter telling the app ad how soon should ask for a new ad, I am not sure if it exist in all cases but it is there for DFP accounts.</p> <p>A nice suggested way to implement the ad is that:</p> <pre><code>new Handler(new Handler.Callback() { @Override public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) { if (!isBeingDestroyed) { final AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest(); final AdView adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad); adView.loadAd(adRequest); } }).sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 1000); </code></pre> <p>also do not forget to call <code>adView.destroy()</code> onDestroy() activity or when you do not want it any more!</p> <p>The above way is mentioned <a href="http://1gravity.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71:android-and-memory-leaks&catid=37:android&Itemid=59" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> with many useful memory releases!</p> <hr> <p><strong>Update No2:</strong> (improvement at <em>Update No1</em>)</p> <p>An improvement to the suggested handler way. Using that way you avoid (I hope) the handler callbacks that may be stacked when intentionally an activity created/destroyed before the delayed message is send. This is more likely to happen if you decide increase <code>1000</code> milliseconds:</p> <p>Create a Field for the handler:</p> <pre><code>private adHandler; </code></pre> <p>At your <code>onCreate</code>:</p> <pre><code>adHandler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() { @Override public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) { if (!isBeingDestroyed) { final AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest(); final AdView adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad); adView.loadAd(adRequest); } return false; } }); adHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 1000); </code></pre> <p>At your <code>onDestroy</code> do not forget to "release" the handler:</p> <pre><code>adHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null); </code></pre> <p>null removes any callbacks see <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler.html#removeCallbacksAndMessages%28java.lang.Object%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer">doc</a></p>
