With a few changes to your code, you can combine native and banner ads in your ad requests.
Prerequisites
- Version 11.0.0 or higher of the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
- Complete Get Started.
Loading the ad
Custom-rendered native ads are loaded using the AdLoader
class, which has its
own AdLoader.Builder
class to customize it during creation. By adding
listeners to the AdLoader
while building it, an app specifies which types of
ad formats it is ready to receive. The AdLoader
then requests just those
types.
The AdLoader
object can also be configured to make ad requests that can
result in either a banner ad or a native ad. Adding an
OnAdManagerAdViewLoadedListener
to the AdLoader
while building it specifies
that banner ads should compete with native ads to fill the request.
The following code demonstrates how to build an AdLoader
that can load either a
native or banner ad in a single request:
Java
AdLoader adLoader = new AdLoader.Builder(context, "/21775744923/example/native-and-banner") .forNativeAd(new NativeAd.OnNativeAdLoadedListener() { @Override public void onNativeAdLoaded(NativeAd nativeAd) { // Show the ad. } }) .forAdManagerAdView(new OnAdManagerAdViewLoadedListener() { @Override public void onAdManagerAdViewLoaded(AdManagerAdView adView) { // Show the banner ad. } }, AdSize.BANNER, AdSize.MEDIUM_RECTANGLE) .withAdListener(new AdListener() { @Override public void onAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError error) { // Handle the failure by logging, altering the UI, and so on. } }) .withAdManagerAdViewOptions(new AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder() // Methods in the AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder class can be // used here to specify individual options settings. .build()) .build();
Kotlin
val adLoader = AdLoader.Builder(this, "/21775744923/example/native-and-banner") .forNativeAd { nativeAd -> // Show the ad. } .forAdManagerAdView({ adView -> // Show the banner ad. }, AdSize.BANNER, AdSize.MEDIUM_RECTANGLE) .withAdListener(object: AdListener() { override fun onAdFailedToLoad(adError: LoadAdError) { // Handle the failure by logging, altering the UI, and so on. } }) .withAdManagerAdViewOptions(AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder() // Methods in the AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder class can be // used here to specify individual options settings. .build()) .build()
The forAdManagerAdView()
method above prepares the AdLoader
to receive
banner ads. A variable-length list of valid ad sizes must be specified alongside
an OnAdManagerAdViewLoadedListener
when invoking forAdManagerAdView()
.
To make a valid ad request, at least one valid ad size must be specified. When a
banner ad has loaded successfully, the specified listener object's
onAdManagerAdViewLoaded()
method is called.
Setting AdViewOptions
The last function included in the creation of the AdLoader
above is another
optional method, withAdManagerAdViewOptions()
:
Java
.withAdManagerAdViewOptions(new AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder() // Methods in the AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder class can be // used here to specify individual banner options settings. .build()
Kotlin
.withAdManagerAdViewOptions(AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder() // Methods in the AdManagerAdViewOptions.Builder class can be // used here to specify individual banner options settings. .build()
The AdManagerAdViewOptions
object lets publishers set specific options for
banners loaded by the AdLoader
, such as:
setManualImpressionsEnabled()
- Enables manual impression reporting for Google Ad Manager reservations. Apps
using manual impressions can determine for themselves when an impression should
be recorded, and can do so by calling
AdManagerAdView.recordManualImpression()
.
