Amazon Mobile Ads Request Error

Question

I'm trying to integrate the Amazon Mobile Ads SDK into my app. I've done everything which is described in the guide - https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/mobileads/quick-start.html

1. I've added the XML amazon layout like this:

   <com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout  
   android:id="@+id/adview" 
   android:layout_width="match_parent" 
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:background="#fefefe"
   android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
   

2. I've included xmlns namespace in parent layout

3.Set all permissions manifest

4.Set AdActivity in manifest

5.Set Application Key

but i get a Request_error and this message:

We we'll be unable to create a webview for rendering an ad due to an unknown issue with webview

Can anyone please tell me what's the problem?

Answer 1

It is a bit late to answer this, hopefully this will be useful for someone who drifts here via search...

Please declare the layout to include the ad size as well

<com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout
android:id="@+id/amazon_ad_layout"
android:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
Amazon:adSize="320x50" />

Hope this helps someone.

Try removing the background color attribute...

 <com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout  
 android:id="@+id/adview" 
 android:layout_width="match_parent" 
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>

if that doesn't work, take a look at StartApp It's much simpler than Amazon, and works worldwide.
