I'm trying to set adUnitId programmatically to ads from the new Google Play services (old AdMob).
I have this in XML (used in an <include>
):
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"/>
and this in onCreate():
AdView mAdview = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
mAdview.setAdUnitId(((App)getApplication()).getAdmobKey());
mAdview.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
super.onAdLoaded();
findViewById(R.id.adView).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
.build();
mAdview.loadAd(adRequest);
And I get:
The ad size and ad unit ID must be set before loadAd is called.
So the second option was to make the ad programmatically.
The new XML:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/adView"
/>
The new code:
AdView mAdview = new AdView(this);
...
((LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.adView)).addView(mAdview);
mAdview.loadAd(adRequest);
But I get the same error.
I tried also to inherit from com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView to make a custom view, but it's final.
Any suggestion?
The method loadAd()
checks if (mAdView.getAdSize() == null || mAdView.getAdUnitId() == null)
when loadAd happens.
Try logging the boolean output of (mAdView.getAdSize() == null || mAdView.getAdUnitId() == null)
before calling loadAd to determine its state:
mAdView = new AdView(this);
mAdView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
mAdView.setAdUnitId(AD_UNIT_ID);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
.build();
if(mAdView.getAdSize() != null || mAdView.getAdUnitId() != null)
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
// else Log state of adsize/adunit
((LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.adView)).addView(mAdview);
