AppLovinSdk: [DataCollector] Could not collect Google Advertising ID

Question

I am using AppLovin MAX for mediation in my android application but when i tried to add banner ad like below

 void createBannerView(View view){
    final String bannerAdUni = getString(R.string.bannerAdUnits);
    adView = new MaxAdView(bannerAdUni,getActivity());
    ViewGroup viewGroup = view.findViewById(R.id.content);
    adView.setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.BOTTOM));
    viewGroup.addView(adView);

    adView.loadAd();
}

i got the following error at run time

I tried most of solutions including adding Google Play Services SDK but the problem still occurs from both my Android Emulator and Real Device. Below are list of dependencies am using

I added ProGuard Exception as instructed in stackTrace above

If you're sure you've integrated the SDK and are still seeing this message, you may need to add a ProGuard exception: -keep public class com.google.android.gms.** { public protected *; }

Till now i dont know what to do.. is it issue related to AppLovin? What can i do to solve it?

Answer 1

I solved this problem... I was just trying to use Tab Layout in my app with two fragments within each , I decided to add Banner programmatically that why i got this error...but when shifted to XML banner it worked fine..

I tried to add Interstitial Ads the problem appeared again..then what i learnt was that AppLovin Ads added programatically doesnot support fragments but they working fine in activities
