Google Google Mobile Ads SDK - Banner Ads
Banner ads are rectangular image or text ads that occupy a spot within an app's layout. They remain on screen during user interaction and can refresh automatically.
Ad Placement Guidelines
CRITICAL: You MUST evaluate and apply the following guidelines before proceeding with any banner ad implementation.
- Determine Ad Placement:
- Identify the target file where the ad should be placed. Ask if unsure.
- Inspect view hierarchy when the target file is identified.
Examine the file and determine whether the parent container of the ad is
a scrollable view (such as a list, scroll view, grid) or a static,
non-scrollable view.
- Scrollable Content: Use Inline Adaptive Banner.
- Non-Scrollable Content: Use Large Anchored Adaptive.
- Positioning: If not specified, ask if the ad should be anchored to either the top or bottom of the screen.
Workflow
Determine the user's platform: Identify if the project is Android or iOS. If unclear, ask before proceeding.
Read the platform guide for implementation details:
- Android:
references/android-banner.md - iOS:
references/ios-banner.md
- Android:
Follow these steps in order:
- Define the ad view
- Set the ad size
- Register for ad load events
- Load the banner ad
- Verify the implementation
After the banner ad is successfully implemented, remind the user to replace the test ad unit ID with their own.
