Set Admob banner to appear at bottom of screen - iphone

Question

I am currently using this code to display an Admob request;
If I use this code, the banner appears, but at the top of the screen not the bottom;
CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGFloat screenWidth = screenRect.size.width;
CGFloat screenHeight = screenRect.size.height;
CGFloat screenXPos = (screenWidth/2);
CGFloat screenYPos = screenHeight - kGADAdSizeBanner.size.height;
[bannerView_ setCenter:CGPointMake(screenXPos, screenYPos)];
bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerLandscape];
bannerView_.adUnitID = ADMOB_ID;
bannerView_.rootViewController = self;
bannerView_.adUnitID = ADMOB_ID;
bannerView_.rootViewController = self;
[self.view addSubview:bannerView_];
[bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];
How would I change this to show at the bottom of the screen instead?

Answer 1

METHOD 1: Put this code in bottom of your code.
//TRY_1:
bannerView_.frame = CGRectMake(screenWidth/2.0 - bannerView_.frame.size.width/2.0, screenHeight - bannerView_.frame.size.height,
bannerView_.frame.size.width,bannerView_.frame.size.height);
//OR TRY_2:
bannerView_.frame = CGRectMake(screenHeight/2.0 - bannerView_.frame.size.width/2.0, screenWidth - bannerView_.frame.size.height,
bannerView_.frame.size.width,bannerView_.frame.size.height);
METHOD 2: Detailed clean way
typedef enum _bannerType
{
kBanner_Portrait_Top,
kBanner_Portrait_Bottom,
kBanner_Landscape_Top,
kBanner_Landscape_Bottom,
}CocosBannerType;
//In .h declare CocosBannerType mBannerType;
-(void)createAdmobAds
{
mBannerType = kBanner_Portrait_Bottom; //kBanner_Portrait_Top
AppController *app = (AppController*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
// Create a view of the standard size at the bottom of the screen.
// Available AdSize constants are explained in GADAdSize.h.
if(mBannerType <= kBanner_Portrait_Bottom)
mBannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait];
else
mBannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerLandscape];
// Specify the ad's "unit identifier." This is your AdMob Publisher ID.
mBannerView.adUnitID = MY_BANNER_UNIT_ID;
// Let the runtime know which UIViewController to restore after taking
// the user wherever the ad goes and add it to the view hierarchy.
mBannerView.rootViewController = app.navController;
[app.navController.view addSubview:mBannerView];
// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad.
[mBannerView loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];
CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGSize s = screenRect.size;
CGRect frame = mBannerView.frame;
off_x = 0.0f;
on_x = 0.0f;

You can check the solution proposed in Google Ads developer blog:
http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2012/06/keeping-smart-banner-docked-to-bottom.html
// Initialize the banner docked to the bottom of the screen.
// We start in a portrait orientation so use kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait.
CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(0.0,
self.view.frame.size.height -
CGSizeFromGADAdSize(
kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait).height);
self.adBanner = [[[GADBannerView alloc]
initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait
origin:origin] autorelease];
//Continue rest of initialization here
Make sure to use self.view.frame.size.width in the Y coordinate of the origin if you are using kGADAdSizeSmartBannerLandscape.
