Admob on Multiple Activities?
I have 7 Activities in my application. I wants to display admob in every activity
Whether i have to create each AdView in every activity?
or
is there any alternative to reuse previous activity container OR prevent it from destroy so can i use in next activity....
Any code or hint we'll b appreciate.
Thankx

I DID this. Thankx to yorkw comment. This is not an efficient code. But you can modify accordingly. That reduces your code for each activity.
Just Extends "TestingAdmobActivity" & call SetupAds() to call your advs.
My SuperClass "TestingAdmobActivity.java"
package com.test.myadmob;
import com.google.ads.Ad;
import com.google.ads.AdListener;
import com.google.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.ads.AdRequest.ErrorCode;
import com.google.ads.AdSize;
import com.google.ads.AdView;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class TestingAdmobActivity extends Activity implements AdListener{
public AdView adView;
public String ADV_PUB_ID = "a14e2fb60918999";
private boolean adVisible = true;
LinearLayout layout;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Log.i("Admob", "Calling External");
}
public void SetupAds(){
Log.i("AdMob", "Start Setup");
layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
layout.setGravity(android.view.Gravity.BOTTOM | android.view.Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL); //To put AdMob Adv to Bottom of Screen
Log.i("AdMob", "End Layout Setup");
addContentView(layout, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, ADV_PUB_ID);
adView.setAdListener(this);
Log.i("AdMob", "Init complete Adview");
layout.addView(adView, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
Log.i("AdMob", "Done AddView Layout");
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
request.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
request.addKeyword("LifeOK");
adView.loadAd(request);
Log.i("AdMob", "End Setup");
}
private Handler handler = new Handler()
{
public void handleMessage(Message msg)
{
switch (msg.what)
{
case 0: //Disable Adv
if (adVisible)
adVisible = false;
break;
case 1: //Enable Adv
if (!adVisible)
{
Log.i("AdMob", "Case 1");
adVisible = true;
}
break;
case 2: //Enable but Hide Adv
adView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
break;
case 3: //Enable but Show Adv
adView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
};
public void DisableAds()
{
Log.i("AdMob", "Request Disable Adv");
handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
public void EnableAds()
{
Log.i("AdMob", "Request Enable Adv");
handler.sendEmptyMessage(1);
}
public void HideAdv() //Enable Adv but Hide
{
Log.i("AdMob", "Request Hide Adv");
handler.sendEmptyMessage(2);
}
public void ShowAdv() //Show Adv
{
Log.i("AdMob", "Request Show Adv");
handler.sendEmptyMessage(3);
}
@Override
public void onDismissScreen(Ad arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d("AdMob", "Dismiss Screen");
}
@Override
public void onFailedToReceiveAd(Ad arg0, ErrorCode arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d("AdMob", "failed to receive ad (" + arg1 + ")");
}
@Override
public void onLeaveApplication(Ad arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d("AdMob", "Leaving Application");
}
@Override
public void onPresentScreen(Ad arg0) {

Log.d("AdMob", "Present Screen");
}
@Override
public void onReceiveAd(Ad arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d("AdMob", "Adv Received");
}
}

setContentView(R.layout.main);
Log.i("Admob", "OnCreate");
SetupAds();
Log.i("Admob", "Done");
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

Log.i("Admob", "Going to Activity 2");
Intent mainIntent = new Intent().setClass(NewActivity_1.this, NewActivity_2.class);
startActivity(mainIntent);
}

}
}
My SecondActivityClass "NewActivity_2.java"
package com.test.myadmob;

finish();
}
});
}
