Q:

Android + HTML5(LocalStorage) + Admob: Bug?

I am developing an Phonegap app(Android), which uses javascript/HTML5
localStorage. The app works fine, however when I add the Admob to
the app, the localStorage not work. Meaning
the stored values are delete when the app is force closed or the phone
is restarted.
public class TestActivity extends DroidGap {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

        // ADMOB: If comment, work.
        /*
        LinearLayout layout = super.root;
        AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, **MY_CODE_ADMOB**);
        layout.addView(adView);
        AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
        adView.loadAd(request);
        */
    }
}        

Thanks!!

A:

You have to delay the code that launches the ad by a few seconds...below worked for me.
public class youActivity extends DroidGap {
private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
    mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            doStuff();
        }
    }, 5000); 
}
private void doStuff() {
    final String MY_AD_UNIT_ID = "yourAD_UNIT_ID";
    AdView adView; 
    // Create the adView 
    adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, MY_AD_UNIT_ID); 
    LinearLayout layout = super.root; // this is the only change from the sample 
    // Add the adView to it 
    layout.addView(adView); 
    // Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad 
    adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
}
}
