I have an activity which has a surfaceview capturing whole screen. i want to put an admob ad on surfaceview. I found this link but it does not work. Any idea ?
In your activity's onCreate:
// Add admob ads.
admobView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "YOUR_UNIT_ID");
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
admobView.setLayoutParams(lp);
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
layout.addView(surfaceView);
layout.addView(admobView);
admobView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
setContentView(layout);
IN the example above, "surfaceView" is your surfaceView instance, that you should instantiate like you do today.
Don't forget to call admobView.destroy() in your activity's onDestroy.

I am making a game and I would like the ad to be visible during the menu but not when the game is actually being played.
If I simple set the adView Visibility to INVISIBLE when I don't want it shown then the ad will not refresh and thus i don't think will register with admob.
Is there an accepted way of implementing ads like this?
edit* Code in main activity to add the adView
private void initialiseAd()
{
adView = new AdView(this);
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
adView.setAdUnitId("");
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
adView.setLayoutParams(lp);
//load ads
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
//add the adView to the window
mainLayout.addView(adView);
}
The way you're facing it is correct, you can easily hide the AdView simply wrapping it within a FrameLayout (which you already seem to be doing) and calling the setVisibility() method over it.
If you're using Activity, this would be the way:
FrameLayout containingFrame = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.ad_containing_framelayout_id);
containingFrame.setVisibility(View.GONE);
If you're using Fragment:
FrameLayout containingFrame = (FrameLayout) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.ad_containing_framelayout_id);
containingFrame.setVisibility(View.GONE);
I have designed a game with no xml layouts.I have used my own view extending the SurfaceView class .This is the code i am using.
RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lay.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
_ad=new AdView(this,AdSize.BANNER,"################");
rl.addView(myView);
rl.addView(_ad);
_ad.loadAd(new AdRequest());
setContentView(rl);
myView is the instance of class extending SurfaceView
and
_ad is the AdView instance.
I want to show the the ads at the bottom of the screen.But they are getting displayed only at the top.
Please suggest me what to do.I will be very grateful.
The only mistake I was doing was not associating my LayoutParams lay variable with the _ad AdView instance.So here is the code after modification.
RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lay.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
_ad=new AdView(this,AdSize.BANNER,"################");
rl.addView(myView);
rl.addView(_ad,lay); //line which was changed.Everything else was correct
_ad.loadAd(new AdRequest());
setContentView(rl);
Thank You StackOverflow.
I am designing an android application contain MySurfaceView includes a Canvas to draw images in a thread running through the application,
(layout is default main.xml which create with project)
but i have to add a bar/textView in the top and add an AD in the botton of the screen.
then how can i do this ?
my declaration is like this :
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mySurfaceView = new MySurfaceView(this);
setContentView(mySurfaceView);
}
May be my given information is not enough to understand the situation, so if you find any obscurity in my question please ask me
Thanks in advance
Hmm, one possibility is that you could just put it inside of a RelativeLayout or something similar? This assumes that you don't want to just define it in the xml which would probably look cleaner. The code would probably look something like this (you can definitely make it more efficient/just use a LinearLayout, I just threw down the first thing that came into my head):
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams paramsTop =
new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// Add the textView to the top
paramsTop.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setText("Hello World");
// Give them id's since we need to position relative to one another
textView.setId(1);
layout.addView(textView, paramsTop);
AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, INSERT_ADMOB_ID_HERE);
adView.setId(2);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams paramsBottom =
new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// Add the adView to the bottom
paramsBottom.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
layout.addView(adView, paramsBottom);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
SurfaceView view = new SurfaceView( this );
view.setId(3);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams paramsMiddle =
new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// Add the surfaceView in between the textView and the adView
paramsMiddle.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, textView.getId());
paramsMiddle.addRule(RelativeLayout.ABOVE, adView.getId());
layout.addView(view, paramsMiddle);
setContentView(layout);
i have a problem regarding alignment of ad. The ad is coming at top of the app but i need it at the bottom of the app. I didnt defined any layout for ad just directly tried in java. And its working fine but only thing is its coming at top even after i inserted adView.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);
The code goes as below
// Lookup R.layout.main
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout);
// Create the adView
// Please replace MY_BANNER_UNIT_ID with your AdMob Publisher ID
AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "a14e36b9902bfcc");
// Add the adView to it
layout.addView(adView);
// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
request.setTesting(true);
adView.loadAd(request);
adView.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);
You need to set the LayoutParams of your RelativeLayout to :
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params=
new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
Specify the parameters when you add the view to the relative layout
Change
// Add the adView to it
layout.addView(adView);
to
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
layout.addView(adView,params);
I'd like add MoPub ad in my Android game. Game is created on SurfaceView Class. I have no xml layout file. The problem is that I can't center ad on screen. I try center and gravity everything. Still doesn't work. MoPubView extends FrameLayout.
MoPubView mAdView = new MoPubView(this);
mAdView.setAdUnitId("_MY__ID_");
mAdView.loadAd();
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
RelativeLayout mRelativeLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
mRelativeLayout.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
mRelativeLayout.addView(mSurface);
mRelativeLayout.addView(mAdView, layoutParams);
mRelativeLayout.invalidate();
setContentView(mRelativeLayout);
Please advise me something because it drawing me crazy. I feel I'm missing something easy.
You can't center the content directly in MoPub, or at least I haven't found a way to do so. It's based on FrameLayout.
You have to center the ad in HTML. If you are using custom HTML code inside your MoPub campaign, just wrap the code inside <div style="text-align:center">...</div>. (Do this through the MoPub administration web). It solved my problem, I was using an OpenX ad provider.
Just create a container layout with "FILL_PARENT" parameters and add your ad view into it like this:
MoPubView mAdView = new MoPubView(this);
mAdView.setAdUnitId(XXXXXXX);
RelativeLayout adContainer = new RelativeLayout(this);
addContentView(adContainer, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
LayoutParams adParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 1); //to align vertically at top
adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT, 1); //to align horizontally at center
adContainer.addView(mAdView, adParams);
mAdView.loadAd();
I know it is not good idea to set constant banner width but as long as your banners are 320px it works fine:
final float scale = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
MoPubView mAdView = new MoPubView(this);
mAdView.setAdUnitId(MOPUB_ID);
mAdView.loadAd();
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams((int) (320*scale), LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
RelativeLayout mRelativeLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
mRelativeLayout.addView(mSurface);
mRelativeLayout.addView(mAdView, layoutParams);
mRelativeLayout.invalidate();
setContentView(mRelativeLayout);
I have done same thing with below code snippet.I am using LibGDX java game engine.
Relativelayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams adParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
adParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
moPubView = new MoPubView(mActivity.getApplicationContext());
moPubView.setAdUnitId("XXXXXX");// Banner test Ad unit Id.
moPubView.setAutorefreshEnabled(true);
moPubView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
layout.addView(moPubView,adParams);
1.I have Relative layout in parent.
2.Added MoPubView in the parent Relative layout with layoutParams only ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM && CENTER_HORIZONTAL
layout.addView(moPubView,adParams);
