Error when displaying adaptive banner in landscape position

[Diego]

Hello team,

We found that when we rotated our application from Portrait position to Landscape position, the adaptive banner is not being reloaded. The message displayed in Ad Inspector is:

We downloaded the adaptive banner example from (https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-android-examples/tree/main/kotlin/admob/BannerExample)

and the same error occurs. 

The device tested was a Samsung Galaxy S21.

I found that the problem stopped occurring when I changed the code that calculates the screen width to:

  return AdSize.getCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize(this, AdSize.FULL_WIDTH)

According to the message on the forum: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/issues/1068#issuecomment-1312725741

This update occurred in the Admob version:

22.3.0 2023‑08‑22
Added support for creating adaptive sizes using AdSize.FULL_WIDTH as the width. Previously, ad sizes created using AdSize.FULL_WIDTH would be treated as AdSize.SMART_BANNER.

However, the documentation and examples still perform manual width calculation which appears to fail on some devices.

private val adSize: AdSize
    get() {
      val displayMetrics = resources.displayMetrics
      val adWidthPixels =
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
          val windowMetrics: WindowMetrics = this.windowManager.currentWindowMetrics
          windowMetrics.bounds.width()
        } else {
          displayMetrics.widthPixels
        }
      val density = displayMetrics.density
      val adWidth = (adWidthPixels / density).toInt()
      return AdSize.getCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize(this, adWidth)
    }

Hi,

The code is not updated in GitHub. It is recommended to follow AdSize.FULL_WIDTH as mentioned in release notes. 

Feel free to reach out to us if you need more help!
