Only the ad titles, URLs, CTA, and non-background image assets should be clickable.
Check for extra whitespace around text that you did not intend to place.
The TextViews used to display native ad assets are the same as any other, so you can use normal layout techniques to format them.
For example, you can use the wrap_content attribute value to make sure your TextView doesn’t expand beyond the size it needs to display its text.
