Could the Advertising SDK cause an app to crash?

Options

Hi all.

 

I have an app that has been working fine until I added the Advertising SDK.

 

The app has a HomeScreen that is always in Stack (until you close the app) and a GameScreen that gets pushed and popped from the Stack every time a game begins/ends.

 

The way I coded ads in my GameScreen is like this

 

 

protected void onUiEngineAttached(boolean attached){
  if(attached){
    startAds();
  } else {
    stopAds();
  }
}

private void stopAds() {
  banner = null;
  bannerManager.deleteAll();
  titleManager.delete(bannerManager);
  setTitle("");
}

private void startAds(){
  banner = new Banner(ZONE_ID, null);
  banner.setTestModeFlag(AdsConfig.TEST_MODE);
  banner.setMMASize(Banner.MMA_SIZE_SMALL);

  bannerManager.add(banner);
  titleManager.insert(bannerManager,0);
  setTitle(titleManager);
}

 

 

In order to remove and insert the apps when the Screen is pushed. "titileManager" is an HorizontalFieldManager that has the Banner and position 0 and some other info after that.

 

The HomeScreen doesn't handle attachment nor display events so I only call this method in the constructor

 

private void startAds(){
  bannerManager = new HorizontalFieldManager(Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
  Banner banner = new Banner(ZONE_ID, null);
  banner.setTestModeFlag(AdsConfig.TEST_MODE);
  banner.setMMASize(Banner.MMA_SIZE_LARGE);
  bannerManager.add(banner);
  setStatus(bannerManager);
}

 

 

I've notice two different things happening since then. First of all, every now and then (I haven't been able to detect the specific cause) the app suddenly close for no reason. I haven't changed anything else in my code except for what I wrote above. Secondly, checking the Event logs I've seen that my Banner is set with AutoSize->XXL even though I say I want them LARGE and SMALL. Hence, ads are display in the proper size (SMALL and LARGE) but they don't fit that size. It's like a XXL ad cropped.

 

Could there been a problem when requesting an Ad that cause the app to crash? maybe an Uncaught Exception I should handle?

 

This is what the Event Log tells me after the crashed:
