Banner

Create Banner Ad

Follow the instructions below to create a Banner ad:

After your adunitId is generated, you can find it on the Meson UI. Add adunitId into the MesonBanner object and pass the ActivityContext.

val bannerAd = MesonBanner(this, "AD_UNIT_ID")

MesonBanner bannerAd = new MesonBanner(this, "AD_UNIT_ID");

Set Banner Size

The banner object takes in the width and height of the banner.

• For a banner, set 320 as the width and 50 as the height.
• For an MREC banner, set 300 as the width and 250 as the height.

bannerAd.setBannerSize(AdSize(<width>,<height>))

bannerAd.setBannerSize(new AdSize(<width>,<height>));

Additional Banner APIs

Additional APIs to provide more control over the banner ads.

bannerAd.disableHardwareAcceleration()   // Use this for android devices with RAM less than 1GB to reduce hardware resource usage

bannerAd.disableHardwareAcceleration();   // Use this for android devices with RAM less than 1GB to reduce hardware resource usage

Load and Show

You can request a banner ad by invoking this method from demand sources and selecting a winner. When the ad is available, it is shown to the user in the registered ad container.

adContainer.addView(bannerAd)
bannerAd.load()

adContainer.addView(bannerAd); 
bannerAd.load();

Destroy Banner Ad

Use this method when the banner is no longer needed. We recommend using this onDestroy of the Activity.

bannerAd.destroy()

bannerAd.destroy();
