Can anyone help me through this.

Solution

I was receiving similar error, but for adView (which is a webview). This helped me to fix my error with "Application attempted to call on a destroyed WebView." Replace adView with the instance of a WebView, should work.

 @Override
public void onDestroyView() {
    if(adView != null) {
         //rootView is the inflated view of the fragment/activity
        ((ViewGroup) rootView.getParent()).removeAllViews();
        adView.removeAllViews();
        super.onDestroyView();
    }
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    if(adView != null) adView.destroy();
    super.onDestroy();
}

Other answers from StackOverflow say to make the above three calls on void onDestroy() but I continued to experience same problems. The working solution as seen above, you want to separate the adView.destroy() from removeAllViews() calls.

I also recommend you call adView.resume() and adView.pause() in appropriate places.
