Banner appears with testing = true but not in production

[TriVeDev]

Hi all,

In debug mode, the banner appears fine on the screen. When i set the "testing" boolean to false, the banner don't appear anymore. Sometimes if i tap the banner area frantically, it may appear...

I tried the demo code and it works just fine.

I really can't figure why it doesn't work while not in testing mode.

My component code: Home.component.ts:

import { Component, OnInit, NgZone, AfterViewInit } from "@angular/core";
import * as dialogs from "tns-core-modules/ui/dialogs";
import { Trip } from "../shared/trip";
import { Folder, File, path } from "tns-core-modules/file-system";
import * as Toast from "nativescript-toast";
import * as Admob from "nativescript-admob";
import { isIOS } from "tns-core-modules/platform";

declare var android: any;

var Sqlite = require("nativescript-sqlite");

@Component({
    selector: "Home",
    moduleId: module.id,
    templateUrl: "./home.component.html",
    styleUrls: ["home.component.scss"]
})
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit, AfterViewInit {

    private testing: boolean = false;
    private androidBannerId: string = "ca-app-pub-4388645964603052/7349200111";
    private iosBannerId: string = "ca-app-pub-4388645964603052/5489054038";
    private BannerIdTest: string = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111";

    private database: any;

    public trips: Array<Trip>;

    public isOnTrip: boolean = false;
    private startDate: Date;
    private stopDate: Date;

    constructor(private _ngZone: NgZone) {

    }

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.databaseFetch();
    }

    ngAfterViewInit(): void {
        // console.log("ngAfterViewInit");

        setTimeout(() => {
            this.createBanner();
        }, 1500);

    }

...

    public createBanner() {
        Admob.createBanner(
            {
                testing: this.testing,
                size: Admob.AD_SIZE.SMART_BANNER,
                androidBannerId: this.testing
                    ? this.BannerIdTest  // global test banner id
                    : this.androidBannerId, // our registered banner id
                // Android automatically adds the connected device as test device with testing:true, iOS does not
                iosBannerId: this.iosBannerId,
                // iosTestDeviceIds: ["yourTestDeviceUDIDs", "canBeAddedHere"],
                margins: {
                    bottom: isIOS ? 50 : 0
                },
                keywords: ["travel", "time"]
            }).then(function () {
                // console.log("admob createBanner done");
            }, function (error) {
                // console.log("admob createBanner error: " + error);
            });
    }
}

.btn-container {
    margin: 1%;
    height: 10%;
}

.header {
    height: 5%;
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
}

.list {
    height: 100%;
    text-align: center;
}


.btn {

    background-color: #56a7c7;
    border-radius: $btn-radius $btn-radius $btn-radius $btn-radius;
    color: black;
    margin: $btn-margin $btn-margin $btn-margin $btn-margin;

    &:active {
        background-color: #36697e;
    }

    &:disabled {
        background-color: gray;
    }

}

Any idea?

Is it possible you might have a race condition here? Perhaps using the (loaded)="onDOMLoad($event)" could save you from needing the setTimeout?

setTimeout(() => { this.createBanner(); }, 1500);

@TriVeDev did you solve it? I have the same issue
