I love this plugin and was wondering if there is any way to code this screen so that the ads do not go on top of the image at top? I know this has to do with something about linear and relative layout which i don't quite understand. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy New Year :)

I had set up admob ads for someone from this forum few days ago. I dont remember his profile name but his name is Jordan. I think it might help you as well. Try copy pasting the following code in the screen_wb_menuimage.xml layout file. Tell me if this is what you were wanting to have. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" android:id="@+id/containerView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_margin="0dip" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:padding="0dip" > <ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/headerImageView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="150dip" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:scaleType="center" > </ImageView> <com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/listView" ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER" ads:adUnitId="a14e2335c8b3dfc" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" > </com.google.ads.AdView> <ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/listView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/headerImageView" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:cacheColorHint="#000000" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" android:scrollbars="none" > </ListView> </RelativeLayout>

Hi @Sandeep - Happy new year! How do you like the SMART_BANNER? Good innit?

A very happy new year to you as well. The smart banner works like wonder. It fills up all the blank space and just ads some nice background padding to cover up it perfectly.

Im Jordan lol. The code didnt work. It kept saying the ad would not show error. It only worked if there was space but that meant I could only have 2 or 3 items on the menu.

Do you use a tabbed menu @fusionmtx? It's super easy to put the code in tabs and have a banner at the bottom of every tab screen (apparently the bottom is the best place to put a banner in an app).

I have the ads in the tab layout at the bottom and the custom url screen. But I have alot of the Menu with image screens.

Ah, I see. Try this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" android:id="@+id/containerView" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:padding="0dip" android:layout_margin="0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adUnitId="xxxxxxxxxxxxx" ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/> <ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/headerImageView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="150dip" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_below="@+id/adView"> </ImageView> <ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/listView" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:cacheColorHint="#000000" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" android:layout_weight="1" android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_below="@+id/headerImageView"> </ListView> </RelativeLayout>
