Android Question banner ads in panel, not show

[AnandGupta]

I am checking FireBaseAd sample from

FirebaseAdMob - Admob ads integrated with Firebase backend

Use FirebaseAdMob2 instead: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebaseadmob2-google-mobile-ads-sdk-v20.129609/

www.b4x.com

Below code I change to show the banner ad in a given panel instead of activity, but the banner ad does not show in panel, (works OK in activity)

   BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111", BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
   Dim height As Int
   If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
    'phones
    If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 32dip Else height = 50dip
   Else
    'tablets
    height = 90dip
   End If
   Log("height" & height)
'   Activity.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 100%y - height, 100%x, height)
    Panel1.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 100%y, 100%x, height)
   BannerAd.LoadAd

What is the correct way to achieve it ?

You put your banner below the panel:

Panel1.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 100%y, 100%x, height)

Try this:

Panel1.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 0, 100%x, height)

And check this:

[B4XPages] Admob Example

Check this other excellent example from @Jack Cole. To help the new members to make money with B4A, I tried to compile all the relevant Admob code (except mediation) of the forum in this example and put comments and links. This is a work in progress. Any code and sample to improve this example...

Thanks a lot @asales ??? for making the example.

I did tried it earlier but it gave error so I left it.
I was wrongly trying to use a sample json downloaded from internet and was getting crashes.

After your suggestion, I decided to create the Firebase project, I was shying from it till now. Well it took time and I had to refer to helps in Google and also in our Forum.
Finally I got the keys and wrote them in your example project.

WOW ! the ads are showing. Thanks again.

I will now study them more closely to understand all the logic and will try them in my project.

Hi @asales ,

I studied your code, specially the "Banner_Module.bas". I noticed that the layout used for it do not have any panel, label etc. "layadmob1.bal"
All the banner ads are set on the activity itself, adjusting position.

As I am interested in setting the banner ad on a panel (or any other view other than main activity) so that I can move/adjust the panel on my layout as per my requirement and do not have to tinker the banner size position etc.

So I changed the "layadmob1.bal" and added some panel, label etc.

But the ads is not showing on the panel. I have attached the modified project.

Please help.

Regards,

Anand

Hmm.. no reply !

So I understand that it can not be done, i.e. ads can not be shown in panel. Ok

Be patient, please.
I don't check the forum 24/7. I don't get notification about this thread. And this days is holiday (with weekend) in my city.

It works. Check the imagens of your modified example and this code:

Dim size As AdSize = GetAdaptiveAdSize
AdViewAdaptive.Initialize2("adap", "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111", size.Native)
Panel4.AddView(AdViewAdaptive, 0, 0, size.Width, size.Height)
AdViewAdaptive.LoadAd

I'm working in a update to use B4XPages and I'll put an example with banner in a panel.

Thanks a lot. I will check it and revert.
