Add support for loading ads without an Activity context for All Adapters

[ibrahimeywin]

Feature Description

Hello,

Recently, the ability to load ads without an activity context was integrated for the AdMob and GAM adapters.

Could you please clarify if there are plans to extend this functionality to other adapters, and if so, is there an estimated release date? Our ANR rate has increased significantly in the latest release, and we suspect it may be related to this issue.

We need to realase urgent new version to decrase ANR's. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

@ibrahimeywin - it really depends on the mediated SDK's requirements. Is there a specific adapter that you are inquiring for?

[ibrahimeywin]

Thank you so much for your quick response!

These are the most critical adapters for us.

Generally speaking, using an Activity instance shouldn't cause ANRs, but we're in the process of combing through the adapters to see where else we can stop passing in Activity references to mediated SDKs (which might hold a reference to it longer than necessary).

With version 12.5.0, we send applicationcontext since it is not mandatory to use activity in load requests.

However, I think this causes problems in some adapters. I see that there was a fix for GAM and Google a while ago, will there be an improvement for other adapters in the near future?

Hi @Kennyhbui ,

Will there be a development for other adapters in the near future? It is very important that other adapters can load without activity context.

Hi @ibrahimeywin,

I'm currently finalizing fixes to ensure there are no issues in the adapters when loading ads with an activity context. These changes will be available soon.

[ibrahimeywin]

Hi @Kennyhbui

Thank you very much for the information. Then we will postpone our update until you complete the fixes. Originally, our plan was to release the update today.

[ibrahimeywin]

Hi @Kennyhbui , is there any date for the update?

[Kennyhbui]

Hi @ibrahimeywin, the updates should be ready early next week. I'll let you know once they're available.

[Kennyhbui]

Hi @ibrahimeywin, the adapter updates are live.

[ibrahimeywin]

Thank you very much! Are the same changes planned for the following adapters? Verve Bidmachine Mintegral

[Kennyhbui]

@ibrahimeywin - These adapters should already have the ability to load ads without an Activity context. Are you experiencing issues with these adapters?

[ibrahimeywin]

@Kennyhbui Now I have checked these adapters again.

• ❌ Mintegral; It is given as a reference in the activity load phase. If Activity is invalid, it may cause problems. It doesn't seem to be compatible with Applicationcontext. ❌

  

• ✅Bidmachine; It seems compatible because it uses getApplicationContext in the load phase.✅

  

• ✅Verve; It seems compatible because it uses getApplicationContext in the load phase. ✅

@ibrahimeywin - Thank you for pointing that out. I'll update the Mintegral adapter shortly.

@Kennyhbui Thank you for your collaboration and support.
