Inline Adaptive Ads within UITableView

[Ivan]

Are there any resources I can review working with inline adaptive (variable height) ads within a TableView?  I seem to be running into a chicken and egg scenario where I set up an initial BannerView with a certain size but declare adSize as “Adpative with Max Height = X” however the SDK seems to be using the Banner View frame dimensions instead of the adSize.  This is true whether I use "GADAdSizeBanner" or "GADInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidthAndMaxHeight(320, 400)" With "GADAdSizeBanner" I can at least set up my frame to match ahead of time.  Ideally the SDK would honor the requested ad size instead of the frame size and in the delegate "bannerViewDidReceiveAd" tell me the size of the ad loaded that way I can adjust the size of the containing Banner View.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK support team.

When you create an inline adaptive banner ad, you need to specify the width of the ad and a maximum height. The SDK will then return an AdSize object with the actual height of the ad. However, the SDK does not automatically adjust the frame of the BannerView to match the height of the ad.

To workaround this issue, you need to manually adjust the frame of the BannerView after the ad has loaded. You can do this in the bannerViewDidReceiveAd: delegate method. Here is an example:

func bannerViewDidReceiveAd(_ bannerView: GADBannerView) {
// Get the height of the ad.
 let adHeight = bannerView.ad.adSize.height

// Adjust the frame of the BannerView to match the height of the ad. 
bannerView.frame.size.height = adHeight
 }

For more information, please refer the following links:

This is exactly how I expect it to work and am attempting to do however I can see in the outgoing request it is requesting sz as 393x63 or similar (the actual size of the Banner View frame) instead of what was requested with in the adSize.  The bannerViewDidReceiveAd also reflects this same sz (393x63).  

adSize is requested for instance with GADAdSizeBanner (320x50) and set into this

GAMBannerView(adSize: adSize)

the GAMBannerView at this point in time is 393x63

The outgoing request to the ad server is using 393x63.  The bannerViewDidReceiveAd's bannerView argument does not contain an ad 

'GADBannerView' has no member 'ad'

bannerView.ad.adSize.height

bannerView.adSize reflects 393x63

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK support team. 

Please note that we received only a “ya” message from you. Could you please specify if you are facing any issues related to Google Mobile Ads SDK?

Here are the code snippets

func setupAd() {
....

    bannerView = GAMBannerView(adSize: GADAdSizeBanner)
    bannerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    self.addSubview(bannerView)
    AutoLayout.fill(bannerView, ofAncestor: self)
...
}

func callAd() {
....
        bannerView.adUnitID = "ca-app-pub-3165173928324362/5893339019"
        bannerView.rootViewController = UIApplication.shared.currentWindow?.rootViewController
        bannerView.delegate = self
        bannerView.load(GADRequest())
....
    }

I believe this contains the info regarding app id, ad unit id, sdk version.  Here we see format=393x63 instead of GADAdSizeBanner (320x50)

Also to clarify I have seen the same behavior when attempting to pull a banner from a GAM server vs AdMob.  That's where I saw sz reflect the same size as the frame instead of the requested adSize.

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Please note that to create an inline adaptive banner ad size in swift:

let adSize = GADInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidthAndMaxHeight(bannerView.frame.width, 400)

bannerView = GAMBannerView(adSize: adSize)

This will create an inline adaptive banner ad that is up to 400 pixels in height. The actual height of the ad will be determined by the ad network.

Once the ad has loaded, the bannerViewDidReceiveAd: delegate method will be called. In this method, you can get the actual size of the ad using the bannerView.adSize property. You can then use this size to resize the banner view.

For example, the following code would resize the banner view to match the size of the ad:

func bannerViewDidReceiveAd(_ bannerView: GAMBannerView) {

  let adSize = bannerView.adSize

  bannerView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: adSize.width, height: adSize.height)
}

I'm running into an issue and have simplified my first issue to just requesting a static ad size (320x50).  The outgoing request and response are NOT 320x50 and instead both 393x63.

Hi -

Wondering if there are any updates on this issue?  Specifically the outgoing and incoming ad size being incorrect.
