Error loading interstitial - windows-phone-7

I am trying to integrate a windows phone 8 app game with AdMob but am having some difficultly (I am using the latest ad mob widows sdk - 6.5.11).
I can load and display AdMob Banners no problem, but get errors when I try to load an interstitial advert.
Basically, when the ad is loaded I get the following exceptions:
An exception of type 'System.SystemException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.Interop.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
An exception of type 'System.SystemException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.Interop.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
Failed to receive int ad with error NoFill
SO when I try to show the add I obviously get further exceptions:
An exception of type 'System.SystemException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.Interop.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
GoogleAds.InterstitialAd
'TaskHost.exe' (CLR C:\windows\system32\coreclr.dll: Silverlight AppDomain): Loaded 'C:\windows\system32\en-US\mscorlib.debug.resources.dll'. Module was built without symbols.
A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in GoogleAds.DLL
Here is my code for loading:
public static void LoadAdverts()
{
runInUIThread(
() =>
{
LoadGoogleInterstitialAd();
});
}
private static void LoadGoogleInterstitialAd()
{
// Initialize the ad
mGoogleInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(mGoogleInterstitialAdUnitID);
// Attach the interstitial event handlers.
mGoogleInterstitialAd.ReceivedAd += OnGoogleInterstitialAdReceived;
mGoogleInterstitialAd.FailedToReceiveAd += OnFailedToReceiveGoogleInterstitialAd;
mGoogleInterstitialAd.DismissingOverlay += OnDismissingGoogleOverlay;
AdRequest mGoogleInterstitialAdRequest = new AdRequest();
mGoogleInterstitialAdRequest.ForceTesting = true;
mGoogleInterstitialAd.LoadAd(mGoogleInterstitialAdRequest);
}
The LoadAd() method is the one that generates the initial System exceptions.
Then to show the ad:
public static void DisplayOverlayAdvert()
{
// Check that the overlay ad is not already displayed.
if (!mIsGoogleInterstitialAdActive)
{
runInUIThread(
() =>
{
DisplayGoogleInterstitialAd();
});
}
}
/// <summary>
/// This method displays an advert in the advert container grid.
/// </summary>
private static void DisplayGoogleInterstitialAd()
{
mGoogleInterstitialAd.ShowAd();
// Set the flag to true as the ad is displayed.
mIsGoogleInterstitialAdActive = true;
}
ANy help will be greatly appreciated.

I would hazard a guess that DisplayGoogleInterstitialAd is being called before LoadGoogleInterstitialAd.

Windows 10 version 1903 update (NET Framework 4.8) breaking Prism 6.3

First off, we are well aware that this isn't strictly speaking a Prism 6.3 issue; what we're looking for (in case a solution isn't straightforward) are pointers to a solution to the problem -thanks in advance btw-, which is:
Windows 10 version 1903, via .NET Framework 4.8 inclusion, breaks our otherwise perfectly functioning, tried-and-true, production-deployed Prism 6.3-based commercial software. We're using Prism (Core), Prism.WPF, and Prism.MEF (all v6.3). What we get (source code later) is the following runtime error whenever we try to instantiate a registered View:
Prism.Regions.RegionNavigationService.CreateNewRegionItem(String candidateTargetContract) throws an InvalidOperationException: Cannot create navigation target 'xyzView'. Activation error ocurred while tring to get instance of type Object, key 'xyzView'.
Inner exception stems from Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.ServiceLocatorImplBase.GetInstance(Type serviceType, String key), which throws an ActivationException: Activation error ocurred while tring to get instance of type Object, key 'xyzView'.
Devil's in the details so here's some relevant code (xyzView = ExpedicionView or ExpedicionMaestroView, both trigger the Exception):
[ModuleExport(typeof(ExpedicionModulo))]
[Export(typeof(IMenu))]
public class ExpedicionModulo : IModule, IMenu
{
[Import]
public IRegionManager RegionManager;
[Import]
public ILoggerFacade Logger;
[ImportingConstructor]
public ExpedicionModulo(IRegionManager regionManager, ILoggerFacade logger)
{
Logger = logger;
RegionManager = regionManager;
// irrelevant (for our purposes) code omitted here
}
public void Initialize()
{
// Here's how we register views for main region
RegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(RegionNames.MainContentRegion, typeof(ExpedicionView));
RegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(RegionNames.MainContentRegion, typeof(MaestroExpedicionView));
// Some more registering for our dialog region
RegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(RegionNames.DialogRegion, typeof(ExpedicionDetalleView));
// other views registered in the very same fashion
Logger.Log("Expedition Module initialized", Category.Info, Priority.None);
}
We invoke RequestNavigate in this bit of code here:
[Export]
[PartCreationPolicy(CreationPolicy.Shared)]
public class ShellViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
public IRibbonPrincipal RibbonPrincipal { get; set; }
private readonly InteractionRequest<Confirmation> _confirmationInteractionRequest;
private readonly InteractionRequest<Notification> _notificationInteractionRequest;
private string _seccionActiva;
private string _subseccionActiva;
private IRegionManager _regionManager;
[ImportingConstructor]
public ShellViewModel(IRegionManager regionManager, IEventAggregator eventAggregator, ILoggerFacade logger)
: this(eventAggregator, logger)
{
try
{
_regionManager = regionManager;
_regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(RegionNames.MainContentRegion, typeof(PrincipalView));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.LoggerError(ex.Message);
}
}

try

// View loading wireup
CambioSeccion = new DelegateCommand<object>(OnCambioSeccion);
CambioSubseccion = new DelegateCommand<object[]>(OnCambioSubseccion);
// some more irrelevant (to our purposes) code omitted here.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.LoggerError(ex.Message);
}
}
/// <summary>
/// This is where we instantiate the View (WAI in .NET Framework <=4.7.2)
/// </summary>
/// <param name="objeto"></param>
private void OnCambioSeccion(object objeto)
{
// Ribbon menu handling here
RibbonPrincipal.ResetRibbon();
IIdentifyViewModel ivm = null;
// We are passing the View's name via clicked TreeViewItem in this case (param objeto)
TreeViewItem treeViewItem = (TreeViewItem)objeto;
if (treeViewItem != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(treeViewItem.Name))
{
_seccionActiva = treeViewItem.Name;
// Now we build the actual RequestNavigate invoke
// In our case, _seccionActiva would equal "Expedicion" or "MaestroExpedicion"
_regionManager.RequestNavigate(RegionNames.MainContentRegion, new Uri("/" + _seccionActiva + "View", UriKind.Relative), (r) =>
{
if (!r.Result.HasValue || !r.Result.Value)
{
// error handling code here
}
else
{
ivm = ((FrameworkElement)_regionManager.Regions[RegionNames.MainContentRegion].ActiveViews.First()).DataContext as IIdentifyViewModel;
}
});
// Some event triggering here
if (ivm != null)
{
Seccion.Cambio(EventAggregator, ivm.ID);
}
}
}
Sorry for the long winded post, and thanks in advance.
#mcandal thanks for the write-up. This looks like a recent issue introduced in .NET Framework 4.8 that we have seen with the patterns and practices activation code. The underlying issue is that in 4.8 the constructors for types were returned in a different order resulting in the patterns and practices choice of the first (eg. ctors[0]) sometimes no longer being correct.
There are a few workarounds as we work through a fix in an upcoming release.
This issue only impacts assemlbies that are ngen'd.
Workarounds:
1) Disable ngen for the assembly containing the type:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<disableNativeImageLoad>
<assemblyIdentity name="assembly_name" />
</disableNativeImageLoad>
</runtime>
</configuration>
2) For the type that is being activated only have 1 ctor (the documentation for the patterns and practices assumes there is only 1 ctor)
3) Choose the other provided activation models where you pass in the types of the parameters, to avoid the ambiguity.
As I mentioned, we are working on a fix and if you would like to discuss further you can submit a VS Feedback item and link to this post and we can continue the discussion there.

Rendering the Google Recaptcha in Android Studio 3

I am using Android Studio 3
I am following this article to learn how to use Google Recaptcha in Android Studio.
Installed the package using this: implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-safetynet:12.0.1'
API keys are also registered.
I saw there is onClick event handler but where is it mentioned about rendering the recaptcha?
Update 1
When I wrote the button click code as mentioned in the link...I got a complication error: inconvertible types cannot cast anonymous android.view.view.onclicklistener to java.util.concurrent.executor
Code as asked in comment
btn_Login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(final View view) {
SafetyNet.getClient(this).verifyWithRecaptcha("")
.addOnSuccessListener((Executor) this,
new OnSuccessListener<SafetyNetApi.RecaptchaTokenResponse>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(SafetyNetApi.RecaptchaTokenResponse response) {
// Indicates communication with reCAPTCHA service was
// successful.
String userResponseToken = response.getTokenResult();
if (!userResponseToken.isEmpty()) {
// Validate the user response token using the
// reCAPTCHA siteverify API.
}
}
})
.addOnFailureListener((Executor) this, new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
if (e instanceof ApiException) {
// An error occurred when communicating with the
// reCAPTCHA service. Refer to the status code to
// handle the error appropriately.
ApiException apiException = (ApiException) e;
int statusCode = apiException.getStatusCode();
} else {
}
}
});
}
});
I used below code and everything is work fine now.
Make sure to implement Executor in the activity
btn_Login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(final View view) {
SafetyNet.getClient(Activity.this).verifyWithRecaptcha("")
.addOnSuccessListener((Activity) MyActivity.this,
new OnSuccessListener<SafetyNetApi.RecaptchaTokenResponse>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(SafetyNetApi.RecaptchaTokenResponse response) {
// Indicates communication with reCAPTCHA service was
// successful.
String userResponseToken = response.getTokenResult();
if (!userResponseToken.isEmpty()) {
// Validate the user response token using the
// reCAPTCHA siteverify API.
}
}
})
.addOnFailureListener((Activity) MyActivity.this, new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
if (e instanceof ApiException) {
// An error occurred when communicating with the
// reCAPTCHA service. Refer to the status code to
// handle the error appropriately.
ApiException apiException = (ApiException) e;
int statusCode = apiException.getStatusCode();
} else {
}
}
});
}
});
According to the article, in your button click handler you must call the method SafetyNet.getClient(this).verifyWithRecaptcha(...) to show reCAPTCHA and handle success or error. Passing this, you give the SDK handle to your current view which should be shown after solving reCAPTCHA. Most probably the rendering will be done by the SDK itself given that it’s a part of the OS. And most probably it will be full-screen in a separate top-level view blocking access to your app before solving the riddle.
You should try to implement it in your app as described in the article and see how it goes. Then you can ask a more specific question.
EDIT: You combined 2 techniques in your code: copy-pasting the code from Google and implementing anonymous class from it. So the problem you asked in the comment is that using (Executor) this in line 5 refers now not to your View (as it was there in the original tutorial) but to the instance of the anonymous interface implementation new View.OnClickListener() that you created. Ypu can refer to this answer to see how it can be implemented not interfering with already complex reCAPTCHA code.

Windows phone navigation bug

I encountered an issue.
I have a loading page with progress bar. It is non-interactive, it only shows progress on loading data. AFter data is loaded - it navigates to MenuPage.
If user minimizes app during loading process sometimes a phantom corrupted entry is added to BackStack.
Problem:
If this corrupted entry is in backstack - NavigationService.RemoveBackEntry() throws NullReferenceException.
Question:
My goal is to exit app from 2nd page when user presses back. Can i somehow do that without removing items from backstack and throwing exceptions ?
In short, no. You can't directly quit an application and it sucks. However you can do it with a well handled exception.
private class QuitException : Exception { }
public static void Quit()
{
throw new QuitException();
}
private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender,
ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ExceptionObject is QuitException)
return;
if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
}
}

Caliburn.Micro(.WP7) and Bing Maps Crashing

I have an app that I'm upgrading from some beta bits - and my map screen is crashing. So to try to get to the bottom of it - I started a brand new - blank "Win Phone Application".
Referenced Caliburn.Micro (just built from new code last night) Version: caliburnmicro_1296ea635677 (from codeplex)
referenced Microsoft.phone.controls.map.dll
and in the MainPage I added
<Grid>
<Maps:Map />
</Grid>
and I add a bootstrapper to app.xaml
<WP7:PhoneBootStrapper x:Name="bootstrapper" />
when the page runs in the phone emulator - the main page renders and I see a map of the world. if I click anywhere on the page - I get an unhandled exception of "The parameter is incorrect"
if I remove the
from the app.xaml - the map works correctly.
What do you think?
Thanks for any advice?
I have found the answer.
The key here - is that I had this setup and wroking with the Beta Templates - and it stopped working when I moved to the WinPhone RTM Templates in VS2010.
Caliburn does some work on my behalf, that was "ADDED" to the RTM templates - which were conflicting with each other. In the end This problem has/had nothing to do with the Bing Maps control - it just so happens that - that was my first screen - so that's where I was trying to solve the problem.
This was the ever so Not-Helpful exception:
The parameter is incorrect
Which, I'm pretty sure would happen on any screen - if you went to the upgrade path of templates, like I did. So here is what I had to remove - to get everything back to normal. In the new App.Xaml.cs - I removed (by commenting) in the App Ctor ...
// Phone-specific initialization
// InitializePhoneApplication();
// Global handler for uncaught exceptions.
// UnhandledException += Application_UnhandledException;
And then I removed these method bodies, because it's just dead code after removing the InitializePhoneApplication() call from ctor ...
// Code to execute when the application is launching (eg, from Start)
// This code will not execute when the application is reactivated
private void Application_Launching(object sender, LaunchingEventArgs e)
{
}
// Code to execute when the application is activated (brought to foreground)
// This code will not execute when the application is first launched
private void Application_Activated(object sender, ActivatedEventArgs e)
{
}
// Code to execute when the application is deactivated (sent to background)
// This code will not execute when the application is closing
private void Application_Deactivated(object sender, DeactivatedEventArgs e)
{
}
// Code to execute when the application is closing (eg, user hit Back)
// This code will not execute when the application is deactivated
private void Application_Closing(object sender, ClosingEventArgs e)
{
}
// Code to execute if a navigation fails
private void RootFrame_NavigationFailed(object sender, NavigationFailedEventArgs e)
{
if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
// A navigation has failed; break into the debugger
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
}
}
// Code to execute on Unhandled Exceptions
private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
// An unhandled exception has occurred; break into the debugger
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
}
}
#region Phone application initialization
// Avoid double-initialization
private bool phoneApplicationInitialized = false;
// Do not add any additional code to this method
private void InitializePhoneApplication()
{
if (phoneApplicationInitialized)
return;
// Create the frame but don't set it as RootVisual yet; this allows the splash
// screen to remain active until the application is ready to render.
RootFrame = new PhoneApplicationFrame();
RootFrame.Navigated += CompleteInitializePhoneApplication;
// Handle navigation failures
RootFrame.NavigationFailed += RootFrame_NavigationFailed;
// Ensure we don't initialize again
phoneApplicationInitialized = true;
}
// Do not add any additional code to this method
private void CompleteInitializePhoneApplication(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)
{
// Set the root visual to allow the application to render
if (RootVisual != RootFrame)
RootVisual = RootFrame;
// Remove this handler since it is no longer needed
RootFrame.Navigated -= CompleteInitializePhoneApplication;

Is it possible to produce a small preview or thumbnail image of a Crystal report in code?

I'm using Crystal to display the reports in my project, and I'd like to be able to display a small preview or thumbnail image of the report to the user when he or she is picking a report to display from my UI. Is there any way to produce these thumbnails dynamically from code?
The user has the option to add or remove reports by adding or removing them from the reports folder, so just making all the thumbnail images by hand isn't really an option.
I used the DSOFile object to obtain the thumbnail inside the report then used AxHost to convert the returned object to an image I could display. This wasn't the solution I wanted but the DSOFile is freely distributable so I guess this will work until I find something better.
Download and install the DSOFile DLL from Microsoft.
Add a reference to **DSO OLE Document Properties Reader 2.1
code
Here is my code, boiled down to the bare minimum:
namespace Ibs.Ui.OrderPrint
{
public partial class OrderPrintEdit
{
public OrderPrintEdit()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
#region -- reports_SelectedIndexChanged(sender, e) Event Handler --
private void reports_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
DSOFile.OleDocumentPropertiesClass oleDocumentPropertiesClass = new DSOFile.OleDocumentPropertiesClass();
DirectoryInfo reportDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + "\\Reports");
oleDocumentPropertiesClass.Open(reportDirectory + "\\" + reports.Text,true,DSOFile.dsoFileOpenOptions.dsoOptionDontAutoCreate);
Object thumbnail = oleDocumentPropertiesClass.SummaryProperties.Thumbnail;
if (thumbnail != null)
{
reportThumbnail.BackgroundImage = IPictureDispHost.GetPictureFromIPicture(thumbnail);
}
else
{
reportThumbnail.BackgroundImage = null;
}
oleDocumentPropertiesClass.Close(false);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
#endregion
}
internal sealed class IPictureDispHost : AxHost
{
private IPictureDispHost() : base("{63109182-966B-4e3c-A8B2-8BC4A88D221C}")
{
}
/// <summary>
/// Convert the dispatch interface into an image object.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="picture">The picture interface</param>
/// <returns>An image instance.</returns>
public new static Image GetPictureFromIPicture(object picture)
{
return AxHost.GetPictureFromIPicture(picture);
}
}
}
I am filling a combobox with report names on the form load. In the SelectedIndexChanged event I get the Thumbnail object from the report and pass it to the conversion method. This should work for Office documents too.
