Google admob banner ad changes imageView color

I have implemented test banner ads in my project and they work, but when the banner ad gets loaded the color of the imageview that is also in my activity gets darker, after some time the color of my imageview changes back to normal. Is something wrong with my code or could this be an sdk related problem?
Here is how it looks:
(Normal imageview) , (Imageview when ad is loaded)
here is my code:

I solved the problem!
it seems to be some kind of layer bug but I'm not sure.
this is the one line i needed to add in my java file:
mAdView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
here is the java file
public class YouAreWilbur extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView mImageView;
AdView mAdView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_you_are_wilbur);
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewYou);
Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(), R.anim.fade_in);
mImageView.setAnimation(animation);
MobileAds.initialize(this, new OnInitializationCompleteListener() {
#Override
public void onInitializationComplete(InitializationStatus initializationStatus) {
}
});
mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
mAdView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
}
I found how to fix the bug on this page: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36996575

I have the same problem. I have tried a lot but couldn't figure it out. The cause of the problem is the banner ads. Actually if any animation exists in banner, imageview's darkness changes by the animation, like a flash.

and this is the xml for layout of productdetailsActivity:

and this is the productSimpleInfoActivity's code:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_simpleinfo);
MyApplication.getInstance().addActivity(this);
initViews();
registerReceivers();
initEvents();
}
this is the productDetail xml layout，i think this is right ,i tired it ,it worked,but today i tired again,it failed:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TabWidget
android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
>
</TabWidget>
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/s_5"
android:background="#color/red_light" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
</LinearLayout>

Try the following code.It hopefully works.
main.xml file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#android:id/tabhost" >
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dp">
<TabWidget
android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
></TabWidget>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dp"></FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
In Class File add this code in your onCreate():
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Resources res = getResources();
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
TabHost.TabSpec spec;
Intent intent;
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, Personal.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("personal").setIndicator("Personal").setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);

I have added google-play-services_lib properly in my project buildpath.
Project in eclipse shows no error as such. But It is not showing ad after running app.
Internet connection is proper (Checked by running browser on android emulator)
Can someone suggest what might have gone wrong ?
I am new to admob. I have created ad unit default setting and using its id. Is there anything else to be done ??
update - when I removed these two lines
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
It showed error in box where ad is supposed to be placed. That means view has been created ??

Enabled logcat from here -

Solved problem using this -

Thanks #William !!!

Can't access google servers through android app

I'm developing a android app cappable of acessing the maps API, but i'm stuck on error:

network errors).
Already did the key and activate everithing in google API console.

public class MostraAlunosProximos extends FragmentActivity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mapa_layout);
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.mapa, new MapaFragment());
transaction.commit();
}
}
Any Idea?
Thanks for the help

I have done the same.
Try this in your MostraAlunosProximos class oncreate,
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil
.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getBaseContext());
// Showing status
if (status != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) { // Google Play Services
// are
// not available
int requestCode = 10;
Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status,
this, requestCode);
dialog.show();
} else { // Google Play Services are available
SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.mapa);
// Getting GoogleMap object from the fragment
if (fm != null) {
googleMap = fm.getMap();
}
// Enabling MyLocation Layer of Google Map
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
And add this line android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" inside fragment of your xml file.
And also i see there are two metadeta for google play service remove that.
Hope this helps

I did this and got to work on my device. Try it.

Solved it!

signingConfigs {
debug {
storeFile file("debug.jks")
}
}
