Migrate to Banner Ad Units API
This guide explains how to transition to the LevelPlay Banner APIs (using an ad unit ID) from your current implementation, to load and display banner ads.
Create Banner Ad Object and Set Size
The creation of the banner ad object should be done after receiving onInitSuccess callback.
// Create the banner view and set the ad unit id
LevelPlayBannerAdView levelPlayBanner = new LevelPlayBannerAdView(context, "adUnitId");
// Create the banner view and set the ad unit id
val levelPlayBanner = LevelPlayBannerAdView(context, "adUnitId")
Banner Sizes
Legacy | Ad Unit (new) | Dimensions in dp |
ISBannerSize | LevelPlayAdSize | (Width X Height) |
BANNER | BANNER | 320 x 50 |
LARGE | LARGE | 320 x 90 |
RECTANGLE | MEDIUM_RECTANGLE | 300 x 250 |
SMART | Replaced by Adaptive Ad Size (see below) | Automatically renders ads to adjust size and orientation for mobile & tablets |
To create the ad size follow one of these options:
Adaptive ad size that adjusts to the screen width (recommended):
This option returns BANNER or LEADERBOARD according to the device type.
Networks that supports adaptive feature (Google, Yandex) will return the a height based on their optimization logic.
LevelPlayAdSize adSize = LevelPlayAdSize.createAdaptiveAdSize(context);
val adSize = createAdaptiveAdSize(context)
Specific banner size:
This option allows you to set specifically a banner size: BANNER, LARGE, MEDIUM_RECTANGLE.
Placements
We support placements in banners for reporting only. Placements should be set before the loadAd, to affect all reloaded ads.
// Set the placement name
levelPlayBanner.setPlacementName("placementName");
// Set the placement name
levelPlayBanner.setPlacementName("placementName")
Set Banner Listener
Implement the LevelPlayBannerAdViewListener in your code, instead of the listener LevelPlayBannerListener.
- It is recommended to set the listener before loading the banner ad.
- Please note that each banner ad should have its own listener implementation.
- Callbacks run on the main thread.
levelPlayBanner.setBannerListener(new LevelPlayBannerAdViewListener() {
@Override
public void onAdLoaded(@NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo) {
// Ad was loaded successfully
}
@Override
public void onAdLoadFailed(@NonNull LevelPlayAdError error) {
// Ad load failed
}
@Override
public void onAdDisplayed(@NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo) {
// Ad was displayed and visible on screen
}
@Override
public void onAdDisplayFailed(@NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo, @NonNull LevelPlayAdError error) {
// Ad failed to be displayed on screen
}
@Override
public void onAdClicked(@NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo) {
// Ad was clicked
}
@Override
public void onAdExpanded(@NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo) {
// Ad is opened on full screen
}
@Override
public void onAdCollapsed(@NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo) {
// Ad is restored to its original size
}
@Override
public void onAdLeftApplication(@NonNull LevelPlayAdInfo adInfo)
// User pressed on the ad and was navigated out of the app
}
});
levelPlayBanner.setBannerListener(object: LevelPlayBannerAdViewListener {
override fun onAdLoaded(adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
// Ad was loaded successfully
}
override fun onAdLoadFailed(error: LevelPlayAdError) {
// Ad load failed
}
override fun onAdDisplayed(adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
// Ad was displayed and visible on screen
}
override fun onAdDisplayFailed(adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo, error: LevelPlayAdError) {
// Ad failed to be displayed on screen
}
override fun onAdClicked(adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
// Ad was clicked
}
override fun onAdExpanded(adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
// Ad is opened on full screen
}
override fun onAdCollapsed(adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
// Ad is restored to its original size
}
override fun onAdLeftApplication(adInfo: LevelPlayAdInfo) {
// User pressed on the ad and was navigated out of the app
}
})
Legacy | Ad Unit (new) | |
Listener | LevelPlayBannerListener | LevelPlayBannerAdViewListener |
Callbacks | onAdLoaded | onAdLoaded |
onAdLoadFailed | onAdLoadFailed | |
onAdClicked | onAdClicked | |
onAdScreenPresented | onAdExpanded | |
onAdScreenDismissed | onAdCollapsed | |
onAdLeftApplication | onAdLeftApplication | |

LevelPlay Ad Info
The AdInfo class returned by the banner listener callbacks has been replaced by LevelPlayAdInfo.
Learn more about its implementation and available fields here.
Load Banner Ad
To load a banner ad use loadAd instead of IronSource.loadBanner.
// Load the banner ad
levelPlayBanner.loadAd();
// Load the banner ad
levelPlayBanner.loadAd()
Pause and Resume Banner Refresh
You can pause banner refresh in your code if the refresh value was defined in the platform. Use the following methods to stop the automatic refresh of the banner ad, or re-enable it after pausing.
When the banner is displayed again, it will complete the time till refresh, from the time it was paused.
- pauseAutoRefresh – pauses auto-refresh of the banner ad.
- resumeAutoRefresh – resumes auto-refresh of the banner ad after it has been paused.
// Pause refresh
levelPlayBanner.pauseAutoRefresh();
// Resume refresh
levelPlayBanner.resumeAutoRefresh();
// Pause refresh
levelPlayBanner.pauseAutoRefresh()
// Resume refresh
levelPlayBanner.resumeAutoRefresh()
Destroy Banner Ad
To destroy a banner, call the destroy method instead of IronSource.destroyBanner.
A destroyed banner can no longer be shown again. To display more ads, create a new LevelPlayBannerAdView object.
Multiple Ad Unit Banner APIs
Legacy | Ad Unit (new) | |
Banner Layout | IronSourceBannerLayout | LevelPlayBannerAdView |
API | loadBanner | loadAd |
destroyBanner | destroy | |
loadBanner | setPlacementName | |
– | LevelPlayAdSize.getWidth | |
– | LevelPlayAdSize.getHeight | |
– | pauseAutoRefresh | |
– | resumeAutoRefresh |
Full Implementation Example of Banner Ads
Here is an example for creating and loading a banner ad using adaptive banner size.
public void createAndLoadBanner() {
// Create the banner view and set the ad unit id
LevelPlayBannerAdView levelPlayBanner = new LevelPlayBannerAdView(context, "adUnitId");
// Set the placement name (optional)
levelPlayBanner.setPlacementName("placementName");
// Create the adaptive ad size to support both adaptive, banner and leaderboard (recommended)
LevelPlayAdSize adSize = LevelPlayAdSize.createAdaptiveAdSize(context);
// Required when using createAdaptiveAdSize()
if (adSize != null) {
levelPlayBanner.setAdSize(adSize);
}
// Add the banner view to the container
ViewGroup adContainer = findViewById(android.R.id.adContainer);
adContainer.addView(levelPlayBanner);
// Load the banner ad
levelPlayBanner.loadAd();
// To get actual banner layout size (either custom/standard size or adaptive)
height = adSize.getHeight();
width = adSize.getWidth();
}
fun createAndLoadBanner() {
// Create the banner view and set the ad unit id
val levelPlayBanner = LevelPlayBannerAdView(context, "adUnitId")
// Set the placement name
levelPlayBanner.setPlacementName("placementName")
// Create the adaptive ad size to support both adaptive, banner and leaderboard
val adSize = createAdaptiveAdSize(context)
// Required when using createAdaptiveAdSize()
adSize?.let { levelPlayBanner.setAdSize(it) }
// Add the banner view to the container
val adContainer = findViewById<ViewGroup>(R.id.adContainer)
adContainer.addView(levelPlayBanner)
// Load the banner ad
levelPlayBanner.loadAd()
// Get width and height for the container
val width = adSize?.getWidth()
val height = adSize?.getHeight()
}
