Steps for reproducing:

@Darkos-den Hello!
Thanks for your issue, we started to investigate this behavior.

@Darkos-den Hi! Can you attach logs from Appodeal SDK?

Same problem.. Any solution?

@Darkos-den Hi! Can you attach logs from Appodeal SDK?

@da2gl When returning from another screen, the library does not generate any logs. As far as I understand, the library considers that the banner has already been initialized and because of this it is not rendered.

Same problem.. Any solution?

@marcos93net I made a small hack to solve this issue - every time I return from another screen, I change the state for some object that I use to draw the banner.

Page widget:

ValueListenableBuilder<int>(
                    valueListenable: AdUtil().invalidateBannerAd,
                    builder: (_, value, ___) {
                      if (value % 2 == 0) {
                        return Container();
                      }
                      return AppodealBanner(adSize: AppodealBannerSize.BANNER);
                    },
                  )

AdUtil:

final ValueNotifier<int> invalidateBannerAd = ValueNotifier<int>(1);

  void invalidateBanner() async {
    await Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds: 50)).then((value) {
      if (invalidateBannerAd.value > 1000) {
        invalidateBannerAd.value = 1;
      } else {
        invalidateBannerAd.value = invalidateBannerAd.value + 1;
      }
    });
    await Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds: 50)).then((value) {
      if (invalidateBannerAd.value > 1000) {
        invalidateBannerAd.value = 1;
      } else {
        invalidateBannerAd.value = invalidateBannerAd.value + 1;
      }
    });
  }

App widget:

MaterialApp(
          navigatorObservers: [
            AppFirebaseAnalyticsObserver(
              onPop: () {
                AdUtil().invalidateBanner();
              }
            ),
          ],
        )

This is a rather dirty solution, but so far I have not come up with anything better.

Is there any update. I'm using version 3.0.0 and this issue is still alive

@phamanhminh1208 @Darkos-den Hello!
We're back to the banner view issue, but we cannot reproduce this behavior.
If you could attach a project or snippets of the display and initialization code, it would help us fix the problem.
And tell me, do you show the banner after initialization or before it?
Thanks.

Hello, same problem for me.

@phamanhminh1208 @Darkos-den Hello! We're back to the banner view issue, but we cannot reproduce this behavior.

I hope the sample screencast and code snippet will help.

Here's the sample code to reproduce the issue.

class FirstScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const FirstScreen({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('First Screen'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: ElevatedButton(
          child: const Text('Second Screen'),
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.push(
              context,
              MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => const SecondScreen()),
            );
          },
        ),
      ),
      bottomNavigationBar: const Column(
        mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
        children: [
          Center(
            child: AppodealBanner(
              adSize: AppodealBannerSize.BANNER,
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

class SecondScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const SecondScreen({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Second Screen'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: ElevatedButton(
          child: const Text('Back to First Screen'),
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.pop(context);
          },
        ),
      ),
      bottomNavigationBar: const Column(
        mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
        children: [
          Center(
            child: AppodealBanner(
              adSize: AppodealBannerSize.BANNER,
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

Used @Darkos-den as inspiration. (dirty solution--)

Then you just call AdAdaptiveBanner()

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:stack_appodeal_flutter/stack_appodeal_flutter.dart';

class AdAdaptiveBanner extends StatefulWidget {
  const AdAdaptiveBanner({super.key});

  @override
  AdAdaptiveBannerState createState() => AdAdaptiveBannerState();
}

class AdAdaptiveBannerState extends State<AdAdaptiveBanner> {
  late int counter;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    counterBannerAd.value = counterBannerAd.value + 1;
    counter = counterBannerAd.value;
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    super.dispose();
    refreshBanner();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ValueListenableBuilder<int>(
      valueListenable: counterBannerAd,
      builder: (_, value, ___) {
        if (value != counter) {
          return const SizedBox();
        }
        return const AppodealBanner(adSize: AppodealBannerSize.BANNER);
      },
    );
  }
}

final ValueNotifier<int> counterBannerAd = ValueNotifier<int>(0);

void refreshBanner() async {
  await Future.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 50)).then((value) {
    counterBannerAd.value = counterBannerAd.value + 1;
  });
  await Future.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 50)).then((value) {
    counterBannerAd.value = counterBannerAd.value - 2;
  });
}
