googleads-mobile-plugins v2.1 RequestBanner Freezes my UI

[Xavier Descours]

Hi,

I just implemented the googleads-mobile-plugins v2.1 for UNITY 4.3 for IOS and ANDROID.

My game is in portrait mode.

And I want to have the AdMob banner at the bottom of the screen.

I use this script :

void OnGUI()
    {
        // Puts some basic buttons onto the screen.
        GUI.skin.button.fontSize = (int) (0.02f * Screen.height);      
        Rect requestBannerRect = new Rect(0.3f * Screen.width, 0.05f * Screen.height,
                                          0.4f * Screen.width, 0.1f * Screen.height);
        if (GUI.Button(requestBannerRect, "Request Banner"))
        {
            RequestBanner();
        }
    }

private void RequestBanner()
    {

        #if UNITY_EDITOR
        string adUnitId = "unused";
        #elif UNITY_ANDROID
        string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx";
        #elif UNITY_IPHONE
        string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx";
        #else
        string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";
        #endif
        
        
        // Create a 320x50 banner at the top of the screen.
        BannerView bannerView = new BannerView(
            adUnitId, AdSize.Banner, AdPosition.Bottom);
        // Create an empty ad request.
        AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().AddExtra("color_bg", "000000").Build();
        // Load the banner with the request.
        bannerView.LoadAd(request);


    }

I have one left and one right button to the top of the screen.

But when I click on my GUI.Button to request the banner, my TOP buttons do not respond! It's like a mask on their or something like this.

But when the ad is loaded, my button respond.

I think when I do a request, the "invisible ad" is on the top until the ad is loaded to go to the bottom.

Have you any idea to help me? I get lots of headache with this "issue"!

Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry for my poor english, it's not my native language.

It turns out the plugin always set the banner to be at the top and then changed the position once the ad was received. I pushed a fix for this here. Please do a git pull to grab the update (I didn't make a new release).
