I am displaying an interstitial ad when the user presses back to exit the application:
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdClosed() {
onBackPressed(); //line 98
}
});
requestNewInterstitial();
private void requestNewInterstitial() {
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
} else {
super.onBackPressed(); //line 410
}
}
This is the crash report I received from my users:

I understand that it is triggered when the user closes the ad, but why does it die on super.onBackPressed()
?
You can't call onBackPressed()
when your activity is paused. However, the behavior on a back press is to leave the activity. Just call finish()
instead of onBackPressed()
.
You should make sure in your onBackPressed()
's override that the activity is going to finish. Back can be pressed for other reasons.
