I have a problem with AdSence. I have tried to resolve it the last couple of days but without any good results. I used developers guide but it still empty on the place of banner.
What am I doing in an application. First of all I have added a TableRow object and added AdView to it:
banner = new TableRow(engine);
banner.setGravity(Gravity.TOP & Gravity.RIGHT);
adView = new AdView(engine, AdSize.BANNER, "a14def8xxxxxxxx");
banner.addView(adView);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
adView.loadAd(request);
Afterwards I just added this "banner" object to the other view. At the end - there is no output there. In case I changed AdView to TextView, just for the proof of concept, it works fine.
The output log:
06-13 18:04:38.476: INFO/Ads(576): Received ad url: <"url": "http://r.admob.com:80/ad_source.php?... >
06-13 18:04:40.406: INFO/Ads(576): onReceiveAd()
The only strange thing for me in log is:
06-13 18:04:40.336: WARN/webcore(576): Can't get the viewWidth after the first layout
I haven't found what is it means and is it because of AdSence.
Update
I have the class:
public class QuestEngine extends Activity {
Then I am trying to produce new AdView in method:
public IntroView(QuestEngine engine) {
That is why in "new AdView" I am using engine object.
Change the new AdView declaration to:
adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "a14def820df0417");
The engine object does not contain the context for its dimensions. The dimensions of the table row are in the Activity context "this"
Well if you are setting your adView
via xml/layout file
then do as directed below:-
In your activity.xml
file insert the following tag where you want your AdView
to be shown:-
<com.google.ads.doubleclick.DfpAdView
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="/XXXXX/XXXXX"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
/>
And in your Activity.java
file write this code in your onCreate() Method
of the Activity Life Cycle
:-
// Look up the DfpAdView as a resource and load a request.
adView = (DfpAdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
Now if you want to programmatic set the AdView
in your Activity then follow the steps as directed below:-
Write the following code in your onCreate() method
,
I am demonstrating for Fragment
, so write the following code in your onActivityCreated()Method
.
// Create an ad view as a second header for now to meet deadlines
DfpAdView mAdView=null; //you can also define this as a Global Variable.
if (mAdView == null) {
mAdView = new DfpAdView(getActivity(), AdSize.BANNER, "/XXXX/XXXX"); //give your adId incase of XXXX
iaddHeight= (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 50, getResources().getDisplayMetrics()); //This code is used to set the height of the addHeight as 50 pixels, which could be used in layout params.
RelativeLayout fl =new RelativeLayout(this.getActivity());
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams flParams =new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
flParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
FrameLayout.LayoutParams para =new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
para.setMargins(0, 0, 0,iaddHeight);
getListView().setLayoutParams(para);
this.getActivity().addContentView(fl, flParams);
fl.addView(mAdView,flParams);
}
mAdView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
Hope This can help Any Future users...
