Hey folks
I managed to implement Admob into a normal linear layout so far.
Now I added a additional scrollview and the adbanner disappeared. I don´t know what I can do against it.
Follows the code from the .xml where I added the scrollview:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/scrollView1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="match_parent">
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical">
[whole bunch of layout elements whoch shouldn´t affect the adbanner]
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
In my linear layout ,where the adbanner still works, the whole adbanner position was done in the main activitiy.java file (did this with help of the tutorial at taiic.com)
// Lookup R.layout.main
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
// Create the adView
// Please replace MY_BANNER_UNIT_ID with your AdMob Publisher ID
String pubID = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, pubID);
// 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);
Can anybody tell me what to change or what code to add when implementing an admob banner into a scrollview?
edit:
i tried to add
<com.admob.android.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
myapp:backgroundColor="#000000"
myapprimaryTextColor="#FFFFFF"
myapp:secondaryTextColor="#CCCCCC"
android:alignParentBottom="true"/>
between last two lines in the .xml
</LinearLayout>
[here]
</ScrollView>
but then im getting the error "error: Error parsing XML: unbound prefix"
cheers
About the parsing error:
Is this a typo in the question? myapprimaryTextColor="#FFFFFF" instead of myapp:primaryTextColor="#FFFFFF" . This would give you the xml parse error.
About the layouts:
Use a RelativeLayout. The working code is at the end of the post. First, some theory :)
Your ScrollView is taking the whole screen, that's why you don't see the admob view. When the scrollview is defined, all the screen is availabel to it, so it takes it. The admob view is actually drawn below your screen. It can be reproduced in this example:
non-working layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:text="Test1"

<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:text="Test2"

<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"

/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test4"
/>
</LinearLayout>
If you use a RelativeLayout instead, you can set it up so the admob is aligned to the bottom of the screen, and the scrollview above it, taking the rest of the available space.

I used the admob xml version and that is what I use and it works. The ad is at the top. Just copy and paste and you will be scrolling along shortly.

I have an activity as follows.
I launch it inside another activity using setContentView(R.layout.below); However, below.xmlcontains a pager (which is a fragment and has its own textview, webview etc.). My problem is even though the Google Ads block is shown in the graphical layout on Eclipse and NO error is thrown when I run the java code shown below; I CAN NOT see the ad. I don't understand what is happening! I've tried so many things, including changing this layout to a simple relative layout. The following is how I call this adView.
setContentView(R.layout.below);
AdView mAdView2 = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView2);
AdRequest adRequest2 = new
AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).build();
mAdView2.loadAd(adRequest2);
This is the actual XML file that contains this adView.

try removing the padding of RelativeLayout, also happens to my app, but got it working after removing the padding
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="5dp" <--- REMOVE
android:paddingRight="5dp" > <--- REMOVE
if you must use a padding, add it on parent layout of the adview, so it will be on LinearLayout
Give some heights to ad view it's height depends on device screen size it can be 50dp,120dp
use this if nothing happens then please put different size and try one more time
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I am trying to make a layout where there are a LinearLayout and inside it I want a FrameLayout and a button.
I want the button to use the bottom of the linearlayout and to use the maximum width and the enough height for the button, using wrap content.
The other component, the FrameLayout I want to use it the remaining part of the screen.
How can I do it?
Here it the layout so far..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:text="#string/Capture" />
</LinearLayout>
Is not showing the button :s
Thanks alot in advance ;)
Better to work out with relative layout with button aligned to parent bottom and your frame layout above it occupying the rest space of the screen.Like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
use the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="capture" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
i am just trying to make these layout, after compare my layout code and your layout code, i find a different code, there is in my code. Did you missing it or just move it away cause it useless from the layout code ?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#id/flayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello_world">
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
im trying to build a form, with a textview and a datepicker,something like:
|Date: |
|datePickerHere|
the problem is i think i have the "same" code as the developer guide but it isnt working. it always ends up like:
|Date: datePickerHere|
Heres the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:text="#string/data_label"/>
<DatePicker
android:id="#+id/data"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Change
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
to
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
Linear Layouts will default to horizontal orientation if you don't specify the "android:orientation" tag. You must specify it as vertical to achieve what you want
How do I make my ads display at the bottom of the screen?
I have tried setting gravity to bottom but it still won't budge.
Current page code:

myapp:refreshInterval="10"
android:visibility="visible" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try adding a weight to your TextView.
android:layout_weight="1"
This means, it will take up any open space of the parent.
And add this to the ScrollView:
android:fillViewport="true"
Try using a RelativeLayout instead, and give the AdView an attribute of android:layout_alignParentBottom="true".
Also, gravity only affects the content, layout_gravity affects the view itself. (You may know that, just pointing it out)
My ads don't display at all, I think I've followed the documentation correctly but they still won't show. The program is basically a webview and I want the ad to display at the bottom.
Heres my layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:myapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/man.utd.headlines"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.admob.android.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
myapp:backgroundColor="#000000"
myapp:primaryTextColor="#FFFFFF"
myapp:secondaryTextColor="#CCCCCC" />
</LinearLayout>
Any ideas?
EDIT: this is what I now have but it still doesn't appear to be quite right:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:myapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/man.utd.headlines"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<com.admob.android.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
myapp:backgroundColor="#000000"
myapp:primaryTextColor="#FFFFFF"
myapp:secondaryTextColor="#CCCCCC" />
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_above="#id/ad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
Your Problem is that the WebView will take all the space on the screen and there is no space left for the ads.
A LinearLayout will distribute the space on a first come first serve rule. If the first View takes all the space the second view won't get any space..
I would use a RelativeLayout and add the adds first with a layout_alignParentBottom attribute and then add the webview with a layout_above="id for the adds". This will ensure that the adds are always on the bottom of the screen even if the webview wont take all the space at the moment and the webview will always be above the adds.
I had the same problem, i fixed it this way:
LinearLayout as main layout, inside it linearLayout(for the ad) and a webview, set wrap_content on the linearlayout for the ad, so, it will first show an ad and then the rest of the screen will be the webview.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
