Android: AdView not getting displayed, though Log shows Ad is loaded

cocos2d-x JavaScript
#1

Hi,

I am trying to implement Admob directly in Android without going through pluginx, or changing anything is my js files…

Created AdUnit and implemented the AdView as follows:

            AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
		    .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
		    .addTestDevice("AC2DFFFAFB44FE1EBC80F6B40559AB14")
			.build();
		
		AdView adView = new AdView(AppActivity.this);
		adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
		adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-XYZ/XYZ");
		adView.loadAd(request);
		
		@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams ad_layout_params = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);                        
		adView.setLayoutParams(ad_layout_params);

		mFrameLayout.addView(adView);

In Logcat, I am getting the following, the AD is not displayed !!

Starting ad request.
JS: [Some JS Logs]
Ad finished loading.
Scheduling ad refresh 60000 milliseconds from now.
Ad is not visible. Not refreshing ad.
Scheduling ad refresh 60000 milliseconds from now.
Ad is not visible. Not refreshing ad.

[repeating]

I guess, the admob Integration is done right, but issue with adding the AdView to the right parent view or issue with setting the position of AdView.

As per this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25089759/move-adview-to-bottom-cocos2dx-activity), changed the mFrameLayout in Cocos2dxActivity to RelativeLayout

PS: Not sure if this is the right forum to post this, since its completely related to android !! Moderators, please move it to right place, If it dont fit here :smile:

Resolved the issue…

the glSurfaceView that is getting returned by onCreateView is added to mFrameLayout in the superclass Cocos2dxActivity, hence taking over the adview.

Hence,

  • assigned some tag(999) to the AdView in here,
  • in the super class Cocos2dxActivity,
    – once the glSurfaceView is added to mFrameLayout,
    – the child with the tag 999 (our adview) is brought to the front…

Code:

onCreateView of our Activity:

        AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .build();

        AdView adView = new AdView(AppActivity.this);
        adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
        adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-XYZ");
        adView.setId(999);
        adView.loadAd(request);

        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, RelativeLayout.TRUE);    
        adView.setLayoutParams(params);

        mFrameLayout.addView(adView);

In frameworks/js-bindings/cocos2d-x/cocos/platform/android/java/src/org/cocos2dx/lib/Cocos2dxActivity.java:190 end of init function,

mFrameLayout.bringChildToFront(mFrameLayout.findViewById(999));
