Startapp interstitial ad will always cause an OGL context lose?

Question

I'm making an android app, and I want to show the typical splash screen ad once my game is loaded. The problem I'm facing is that I run the game, it loads the textures, and then it shows the intersitial ad. When I close the ad, I have to recreate the textures, and it's quite slow...

Is there a way to prevent this or it is the expected behaviour? Will I face the same problem with other ad companies (for example admob)??

By the way I'm using OpenGL for my app as well as Startapp for the ads.

Answer 1

Well I've been researching this and I wasn't able to prevent texture reloading with interstitial ads using either admob and startapp.

Then I tried to use Leadbolt, and it's simply overlaying an ad in front of the app but it's not an activity, so I don't have to reload the textures.

If someone finds another ad network which works in a similar way (doesn't force texture reload) it would be great to know :P
