I want to implement the ads in my app but I want to implement the ads on an overlay view, The main content of the app should be foreground and the overlay is top of the main content and I want to align the overaly at the bottom of the screen. Kindly tell me how I can achieve the overlay at the bottom of my screen???
The simplest way to achieve this is to use a FrameLayout as your root view. Here is some code to demonstrate this. I haven't tested this particular example, but it should work with slight modification to the AdView attributes.
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/main_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- Your main layout code goes here -->
</LinearLayout>
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
ads:adUnitId="MY_AD_UNIT_ID"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>
</FrameLayout>
Note the layout_gravity attribute of the AdView; that's what causes it to appear at the bottom of the screen.
