Android Question [Solved] Problem with Admob-Height

[Deleted member 103]

Hi,

this code does not work properly on my Nokia 7.1, because the banner is cut off (see pictures).
So that it is correctly displayed correctly on the Nokia, I have to change the height to 90dip, is this normal?

Adview1.Initialize2("Ad", "xxxxxxxx", AdView1.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
Dim height As Int
    If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
       'phones
       If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 32dip Else height = 50dip
   Else
       'tablets
       height = 90dip
   End If
   Activity.AddView(AdView1, 0dip, 100%y - (toolbar.height + height), 100%x, height)

Correct presentation at HTC-one.

Wrong presentation on Nokia 7.1

Did you have the same behavior using AdView.SIZE_BANNER instead of SMART_BANNER?

Test with:

GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6.5

With "AdView.SIZE_BANNER" the height is correct, but the width is too small.

Test with:

GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6.5

That makes no difference

I searched the screen sizes:

Nokia 7.1 - 5.84"

HTC One - 4.7"

1) so the banner height seems wrong on the HTC
1) log(GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize)
3) the position of the banner seems wrong to me; it appears to be positioned lower down.

Here's the output of this routine on Samsung A5(2017) and Nokia 7.1.

Sub GetAddViewHeight As Int
    Dim height As Int
    If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
       'phones
        If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 32dip Else height = 50dip
    Else
        If 100%y > 100%x Then
               'tablets
               height = 90dip
        Else
            height = 50dip
        End If
    End If
    Log("AddViewHeight=" & height)
    Return height
End Sub

Samsung A5(2017):

AddViewHeight=150

Nokia 7.1:

AddViewHeight=131

For Nokia, the Adview height should be higher than the Samsung, because the display height of the Nokia is higher than that of the Samsung.
Nokia-Diplay: 1.080 x 2.280 Pixel
Samsung-Display: 1.080 x 1.920 Pixel

1920 / 2280 = 0.8421

131 / 150 = 0.8733

the difference is insignificant, the two banners have the same height, I think.
Check the top bottom position.

Ciao Mario,

I've already tried that, read my first post.
It has nothing to do with the position.

So that it is correctly displayed correctly on the Nokia, I have to change the height to 90dip, is this normal?

Here with shifted position.

Both displays are less than 6", so...

If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
'phones
If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 32dip Else height = 50dip

so to get the same height you should change the height to 50dip rather than 90dip. Anyway, I still think they have the same height, 50dip

Should have the same height, but is not so. You can see it in this issue.

Code:
Sub GetAddViewHeight As Int
Dim height As Int
If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
'phones
If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 32dip Else height = 50dip
Else
If 100%y > 100%x Then
'tablets
height = 90dip
Else
height = 50dip
End If
End If
Log("AddViewHeight=" & height)
Return height
End Sub
Samsung A5(2017):
AddViewHeight=150
Nokia 7.1:
AddViewHeight=131

 

[LucaMs]

"Run" log(50dip) on both; you will get 131 & 150!

Filippo,

Did you even check the admob banner guidelines?

You'll risk to get your app removed or get banned with a design like that.

If I strictly follow the Google guidelines, then I have no suitable place for a banner.
This app with this banner I have been in Play-Store for years, the last update I made in March 2019.
Let's see if anything comes.

 

[sorex]

that's the negative part of banners that they always consume space unless you hide and show them at certain points (game over screen in a game)

Hi,
I have to open this post again, because the problem is not resolved yet.
In this photo are 2 smartphones where you can see that the height of the banner is right and the other is not.
How can you solve the problem?

unfortunately this does not solve my problem.
I noticed though that in Nokia you have to enlarge the banner to 90dip to be corrected.
But this cannot be the solution.

It works well for me. I use a panel as base, set its top and height based on the height of the banner (which depends on the device) and then load the layout into this base panel.
