How to place AdMob banner on the bottom of screen

HOW TO PLACE ADMOB BANNER ON THE BOTTOM OF SCREEN

Drive mobile ad revenue by integrating banner into your app and get paid for your hard work. You will need a reference to Google Play Service SDK in your project. I’ve applied this tutorial to my app FlipNote. Check it out if you want to see how it looks on a real device.

Create Layout

The important part here is android:layout_alignParentBottom=”true” for the AdView. Replace “YOUR_ADMOB_ID” with your actual id.

File: activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="YOUR_ADMOB_ID"/>
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:divider="@null"
        android:dividerHeight="0dp">
    </ListView>    
</RelativeLayout>

Open your MainActivity.java and add this code.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.ahotbrew.admob;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

		AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
		AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
		adView.loadAd(adRequest);
	}
}
