Question

From the 25th of june two unrelated apps that are using ads started to have this NPE

java.lang.NullPointerException
   at zo.a(SourceFile:172)
   at aeh.a(SourceF         


        

Answer 1

I have find temporary semi-solution. I use thiagolr advice above with delayed ad request:

    Handler handler = new Handler() {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        adView.loadAd(adRequest);
        super.handleMessage(msg);
    }
};

if (handler != null) {
    handler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 200);
}

Also I removed onResume and onPause methods, so I don't know which solution helps me, but beforee this workaround I had 100-130 java.lang.NullPointerException at zo.a(SourceFile:172) per day. After this workaround I had 6-10 NullPointerException per day. If you want you could try this solutions separately to define which of them helps.

My removed methods in activity:

//    @Override
//    public void onPause() {
//      adView.pause();
//      super.onPause();
//    }
//
//    @Override
//    public void onResume() {
//      super.onResume();
//      adView.resume();
//    }
