Importing KivMob twice

[pihash252]

I have a Card in the main.kv file on pressing which a popup window opens with FileChooserListView. The code for the instructions inside that popup window are written in a separate Python file. Now there is a 'Submit' button inside that popup window which on pressing, after selecting a file, starts to process that file. I want to show an interstitial ad after this 'Submit' button is pressed as it seems like an apt place to show since the user will be waiting for the file to process anyway.

So far I've been able to achieve it only by importing KivMob and doing the usual. Still, since in the main.py file I've already imported the KivMob once in order to show ads while traversing other screens, I wanted to know if it'll be wrong to import it in that other Python file again. Like will Admob in any way penalize this?

Otherwise, kindly tell me another way to achieve the same.

Hello, about importing Kivmob more than once, I believe that it will not generate any type of penalty and the strategy of displaying the interstitial while the user waits for a file to load is also super valid.

All right. Thank you

Also, I'm getting this in my log:

Is that going to be a problem? If yes, how to deal with it?

[diogokravetz]

I get it, thanks for complementary, probably the google play console will identify this as a failure, so ideally it should be fixed

[diogokravetz]

ok, to better understand why this problem is happening I need to know if the ad unit ID is being mentioned in more than one python file.

[diogokravetz]

if so the only thing I could think of to solve the problem would be to change the structure of the app so that the implementation code of the interstitial ad is only in the main python file regardless of how many times it is called

[diogokravetz]

remember that according to google admob policies you cannot display more than one Interstitial Banner for every two user actions.

[pihash252]

All right. By the way, this is my code for the interstitial ads. Am I doing it right especially with the placing of Ad unit ID? Also, the unitID is going to be different for banner and interstitial ads, right?

class MainScreen(Screen):
    ads = KivMob("ca-app-pub-1242880xxxxx~xxxxx")
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.ads.new_interstitial("ca-app-pub-1242880xxxxx/xxxxx")

    def on_pre_enter(self, *args):
        self.ads.request_interstitial()    # Intersitial ads is loaded in memory

    def on_pre_leave(self, *args):
        self.ads.request_interstitial()      # reloading ad again .

    def Show(self):
        Clock.schedule_once(lambda a:self.ads.show_interstitial(), 3)

[diogokravetz]

Correct, when you implement a new ad unit in your app, you'll reference the ad unit ID to tell ad networks where to send ads when they're requested, each different ad unit that you register there in admob will have a different identifier .

[diogokravetz]

Apparently your implementation code is correct.

All right. Thanks
