Full-width AdMob native ads for Android using Google Mobile Ads SDK for Unity

[BT]

I am trying to create a native ad like this:

nativeExpressAdView = new NativeExpressAdView(adUnitId, new AdSize(360, 150), AdPosition.Bottom);  

Instead of hardcoding the screen width as 360, I would like to use the full-width available on the device. Smart banners work great for banner ads, but passing AdSize.SmartBanner as second argument does not work here.

Screen.width returns actual pixels. 

Is there a way to obtain the width in dp that I can pass onto the AdSize constructor?

Hi there,

The AdSize has to be manually set and the ideal way would be to determine the screen width before you make the AdRequest. Currently, the Mobile Ads plugin does not provide a method to do so automatically. You can use this method if it helps.

Hi Deepika,

and for App developed by Android Studio is the same?

Many thx in advance.

Hi there,

For Android applications developed in Android Studio, you can use FULL_WIDTH as the width of the Ad, as shown below:

ads:adSize="FULL_WIDTHx50"

 

You can view our official documentation for additional information regarding Choosing your Native Express Ad Size.

Does ads:adSize="FULLWIDTHx50" work with the new consolidated Native+Standard AdView? (Meaning, can the FULLWIDTH size now be used with standard banner ads, in addition to native?) Trying to get an ad unit size 600x100 to stretch full width.

Hi JM,

For Banner AdView, FULL_WIDTH is not supported and here are the list of valid AdSizes for Banner AdView.

Let us know if you have any other questions. I'll be happy to help.
