Crash on Android on AdView.pause()

Describe the bug I received a crashlytics error in production. The error was the following:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView.pause()' on a null object reference

To Reproduce It’s actually hard to reproduce as this is just a crash which was reported by crashlytics.

Expected behavior The app should not crash 😊

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Samsung Galaxy J7
• OS: Android 9

Additional context I just wanted to make sure, that every step is taken to prevent that error. It should not be the case, that the app crashes after calling pause.

I took a quick look at the code from my phone. There are two problems that I see. One from the plugin, and one (maybe) from your side.

The plugin code handle correctly requests done when the plugin is not initialized, but it asumes that the consumer will never call hideBanner before showBanner.

That last part is the error in your part, probably because of a race condition, you are hiding a banner that was never show.

I will try to handle hide calls of non showed banners this week.

Perfect. Thank you!
