My admob banner ads showing fine but not clickable UNITY3D

[Kahfi Alghiffari]

Hi there,

I have been trying to figure out a major issue on my game . My admob banner ad is showing just fine and attached to the camera but the issue is that the ads are not clickable.

Here's the preview of my code :

details: UNITY3D version : 4.6

           Official admob plugin version : 2.3.0 or 2.3.1 (forgot)

my Assets>Plugins>Android>GoogleMobileAdsPlugin AndroidManifest.xml 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:versionName="1.0"
    android:versionCode="1">

      android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

                          android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
    <!-- InAppPurchase Activity -->
    <activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.purchase.InAppPurchaseActivity"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.IAPTheme"/>
  </application>

my BannerAd.cs which is attached in the camera

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using GoogleMobileAds;
using GoogleMobileAds.Api;

public class BannerAd : MonoBehaviour {

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
        RequestBanner();
    }
    void RequestBanner()
    {
        #if UNITY_ANDROID
        string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-xxxxx/xxxx";
        #elif UNITY_IPHONE
        string adUnitId = "INSERT_IOS_BANNER_AD_UNIT_ID_HERE";
        #else
        string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";
        #endif

        // Create a 320x50 banner at the top of the screen.
        BannerView bannerView = new BannerView(adUnitId, AdSize.Banner, AdPosition.Top);
        // Create an empty ad request.
        AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
        // Load the banner with the request.
        bannerView.LoadAd(request);
     }

    }




Any help would be very thankful !

Hi Kahfi,

Have you followed point # 2 found in our GitHub tutorial (under Android Setup)? Most of the times ForwardNativeEventsToDalvik is set to true in the wrong Manifest (or not in the activity tags), or overwritten with false.

Let us know if that resolves the issue,

Hi Vu Chau,

I have followed and made a bit changes based on the suggestion you made but it still didn't resolve the "unclickable ad problem". Somehow it did make a change which it prevents from overstacked or multiple layer ads . Is there any alternatives on resolving  "unclickable ad problem" ?

here the new code for my Assets>Plugins>Android>GoogleMobileAdsPlugin AndroidManifest.xml

Hi Kahfi,

Have you made sure to copy the manifest found under Temp/StagingArea to Assets/Plugins/Android before setting ForwardNativeEventsToDalvik to true in the latter directory?

You could also attach and send us your APK so we can check if we see the same behavior.
