Android Question FirebaseAdMob ads in a Panel?

[Pencil3]

I have a panel made in the Visual Designer that I would like to load a smart banner into, but am missing something as no ad displays (I can display them fine when adding to the Activity).

Dim AdPanel As Panel
BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX", BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
AdPanel.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 50%y - 32dip, 100%x, 32dip)
BannerAd.LoadAd

Try it with:

AdPanel.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, AdPanel.Height / 2 - 32dip, AdPanel.Width, 32dip)

Still no luck, I must be doing something else wrong. I have attached a zip of a test project, could someone please look at it?

Try it with:

AdPanel.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, AdPanel.Height / 2 - 32dip, AdPanel.Width, 32dip)

Also tried adding the panel by code, ad does not display.

Dim AdPanel As Panel
AdPanel.Initialize("")
AdPanel.Color = 0xFFFFFFFF
Activity.AddView(AdPanel,0dip,400dip,100%x,25%y)
BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX", BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
AdPanel.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 25%y, 100%x, 100dip)
BannerAd.LoadAd

AdPanel.Color = 0xFFFFFFFF
Activity.AddView(AdPanel,0dip,400dip,100%x,25%y)
BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX", BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
AdPanel.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 25%y, 100%x, 100dip)
BannerAd.LoadAd

the reason you dont see the banner is very simple.

your panel "Adpanel" has the height of 25%y. and you add your adview (banner ad) at top of 25%y that means that your ad banner starts where your panel size ends. how do you want to see like that the banner?

Activity.AddView(AdPanel,0dip,400dip,100%x,25%y)

AdPanel.Height = 25%y

AdPanel.AddView(BannerAd, 0dip, 25%y, 100%x, 100dip)

BannerAd.top = 25%y

It is very simple, you should never initialize views added with the designer.

Right click on AdPanel in the designer and choose: Generate - Dim AdPanel As Panel
