Google Mobile Ads Banner

Google Mobile Ads SDK - Banner Ads

Banner ads are rectangular image or text ads that occupy a spot within an app's layout. They remain on screen during user interaction and can refresh automatically.

Ad Placement Guidelines

CRITICAL: You MUST evaluate and apply the following guidelines before proceeding with any banner ad implementation.

• Determine Ad Placement:
• [ ] Identify the target file where the ad should be placed. Ask if

unsure.

• [ ] Inspect view hierarchy when the target file is identified.

Examine the file and determine whether the parent container of the ad is a scrollable view (such as a list, scroll view, grid) or a static, non-scrollable view.

• Scrollable Content: Use Inline Adaptive Banner.
• Non-Scrollable Content: Use Large Anchored Adaptive.
• Positioning: If not specified, ask if the ad should be

anchored to either the top or bottom of the screen.

Workflow

1. Determine the user's platform: Identify if the project is Android or

iOS. If unclear, ask before proceeding.

1. Read the platform guide for implementation details:

• Android: references/android-banner.md
• iOS: references/ios-banner.md

1. Follow these steps in order:

• [ ] Define the ad view
• [ ] Set the ad size
• [ ] Register for ad load events
• [ ] Load the banner ad
• [ ] Verify the implementation

1. After the banner ad is successfully implemented, remind the user to replace

the test ad unit ID with their own.
