How to separate ads View from Game View?-CodePudding

The

Question: How can I make the ads show ABOVE the game view/screen, so it doesnt overlap/hides anything from the game? I want the screens to be as shown in the next picture.

Current code:

import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.RelativeLayout; import com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidApplication; import com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidApplicationConfiguration; import de.golfgl.gdxgamesvcs.GpgsClient; import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest; import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdSize; import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView; public class AndroidLauncher extends AndroidApplication { private RelativeLayout layout; private RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params; private AdView bannerAd; @Override protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); AndroidApplicationConfiguration config = new AndroidApplicationConfiguration(); // GpgsClient gpgsClient = new GpgsClient(); gpgsClient.initialize(this, false); SpaceEscape game = new SpaceEscape(gpgsClient); // //initialize(game, config); View gameView = initializeForView(game,config); ////////// Define the layout layout = new RelativeLayout(this); layout.addView(gameView, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP); params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT); bannerAd = new AdView(this); bannerAd.setAdUnitId("REDACTED"); bannerAd.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER); layout.addView(bannerAd, params); setContentView(layout); AdRequest ad = new AdRequest.Builder().build(); bannerAd.loadAd(ad); } }

CodePudding user response：

To avoid this overlapping effect using a RelativeLayout you can create an Ad Container (eg: a RelativeLayout Container) to be on the top of the screen by using the RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP rule and add the GameView below of the Ad Container using the RelativeLayout.BELOW rule. Finally add your AdView as a child of the above Ad Container.

Below is an example of how you can do the above structure:

//define the layout layout = new RelativeLayout(this); //adView Container RelativeLayout RelativeLayout adContainerRL = new RelativeLayout(this); adContainerRL.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK); adContainerRL.setId(ViewCompat.generateViewId()); RelativeLayout.LayoutParams adContainerParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); adContainerParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP); layout.addView(adContainerRL, adContainerParams); //adView AdView bannerAd = new AdView(this); bannerAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111"); //this is a test ad unit id bannerAd.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER); RelativeLayout.LayoutParams adViewParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); adViewParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP); adViewParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT); adContainerRL.addView(bannerAd, adViewParams); //gameView View gameView = initializeForView(game, config); RelativeLayout.LayoutParams gameViewParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); gameViewParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, adContainerRL.getId()); layout.addView(gameView, gameViewParams); //set the layout setContentView(layout); //load ad AdRequest ad = new AdRequest.Builder().build(); bannerAd.loadAd(ad);
