Native Ad shows blank text and image about native_admob_flutter

[DevKathirva]

Having the same problem. Only native ad is not working, banner ad is working fine.

Native ad works fine in newly created project. But could not make it work in my existing project.
I have migrated my existing project to embeeding v2. Everything working fine except native ad.

Below is the log when native ad request is sent:

Looks like problem is with using other dependencies(Native Admob) with this widget, in my case I was using 'flutter_native_admob' widget. I removed it and now native ad works fine with my existing project.

[DevKathirva]

Still this problem exist when we add other native AdMob dependency.

[bdlukaa]

unfortunately I only get errors loading it.

Same as #11 (comment) . Run flutter clean and try again

I'll make sure to mention it in the documentation. Seems like there's nothing I can do about it

[bdlukaa]

That's probably because you didn't set a fontSize in TextStyle nor a size to the image.

Will be fixed in the next version.

As shown in the example, you need to set the attributes of the views in the NativeAd constructor

[bdlukaa]

I just released a new version with the fix for it: v0.8.0. Open a new issue with more details if you still see the error with that version

[oliverbytes]

Hi bdlukaa, thanks for the response. However even with the most recent update, still no texts and image appear. I've pasted your example code below

NativeAd(
            height: 60,
            builder: (context, child) {
              return Material(
                elevation: 8,
                child: child,
              );
            },
            buildLayout: adBannerLayoutBuilder,
            loading: Text('loading'),
            error: Text('error'),
            icon: AdImageView(padding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 6)),
            headline: AdTextView(style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black)),
            advertiser: AdTextView(style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black)),
            body: AdTextView(style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black)),
            media: AdMediaView(height: 70, width: 120),
            button: AdButtonView(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 6, right: 6),
              textStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.green, fontSize: 14),
            ),
          )

I need more information to be able to help. It works just fine on mine and others' devices.

However, I'll be reopening this issue

@DevKathirva
Since you said it works fine on a newly created project but not on your existent, could you try deleting the android folder, creating it again (flutter create .) and do the setup again?

NOTE: Keep in mind the files you're deleting and what you're doing

[DevKathirva]

Hi, I tried it.

I removed android folder and created it again using flutter create . I had to do lot of configuration again(firebase, androidx, update gradle version and others) in android to build again. Built it successfully but still native ad not working.

[bdlukaa]

Native ad works fine in newly created project. But could not make it work in my existing project.

Maybe you could create a new project and move all the dart files to it. I know this is not the best solution but maybe it works

[bdlukaa]

I just published a new version (v0.9.2) that is supposed to fix this issue. Can you try it?

I tried the latest version and using your native ads screen. unfortunately I only get errors loading it.

[DevKathirva]

@nemoryoliver Hi. Have you tried by removing any other dependency related to AdMob from pubspec.yaml?

[oliverbytes]

@nemoryoliver Hi. Have you tried by removing any other dependency related to AdMob from pubspec.yaml?

yes I did try removing all but native_admob_flutter. But when creating a new project everything works as expected.

[oliverbytes]

Same as #11 (comment) . Run flutter clean and try again

Still this problem exist when we add other native AdMob dependency.

I'll make sure to mention it in the documentation. Seems like there's nothing I can do about it

I've tried flutter clean as well but still get error loading Native Ads

[bdlukaa]

But when creating a new project everything works as expected.

I'll mention in the documentation it's recommended to create the project on flutter version 1.22 or later (See #flutter). It seems it's an error with the prebuilt android project.

Can this issue be closed now?

[bdlukaa]

I just published a new version that is supposed to fix this issue: v0.9.4

I'll be closing this issue. If the problem is not solved, please re-open this issue with more details.
