Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition() Bug

Hello!

I currently have an Android game (that supports banner ads) that is in play testing. One of the issues that has been raised is that on a few levels, the banner can get in the way of gameplay.

I do not want the banner to show on the main menu, so it is shown on level start and hidden on level end and its position can be specified on a per level basis.

The banner is being shown using the following code...

Code (CSharp):

1. while (!Advertisement.IsReady(...))
2.     yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.25f);
3.  
4. Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition(...);
5.  
6. Advertisement.Banner.Show(...);

And hidden like this...

Code (CSharp):

1. Advertisement.Banner.Hide();

The trouble is, once the banner has been shown on one level (let's say bottom centre) then the next time it is shown (let's say top right) it will always show in the position it was first shown, no matter what is passed to SetPosition. So in this example, the banner will always be shown bottom centre regardless.

I've tried moving SetPosition before IsReady but it doesn't make any difference. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm using Unity 2019.2.21f1 and Advertisment 3.4.4

 

Many thanks.

 

Hi kr-unity,

Is there any news on a fix please? Am hoping it's a simple issue that can be released to the 3.4 stream?

Failing that, do you know of a way to work around it please?

 

Ok, thanks for the prompt reply.

This has pretty much stopped me being able to use banner ads in my game (am sure I'm not the only one) so hopefully a fix won't be too long in the making.

Are you aware of a way to work around it by any chance please?

 

Any update on this one? I need to be able to change the position of banner ads depending on the state of my game. Not being able to do something which seems to be a relatively simple implementation is incredibly frustrating. It feels as though Banner Ads are more or less an afterthought for Unity IAP package.

 

Same situation here, I need the banner position to change to prevent critical interference with the game, but once executed
Advertisement.Banner.SetPosition, it sticks with that value.

 

Hello! Any updates on this please? It doesn't strike me as a difficult issue to resolve, but it's been 6 months now and no news.

 

14.1.2021. I get same problem still.

 

Yes, that helped in a way.
Now my banners show at different positions when switching scenes.
But I had to do some workaround.
What I realized is that using Advertisement.Banner.Hide(true); in my case, does not hide the banner, like you would call Advertisement.Banner.Hide(); Maybe it gets destroyed internally, I don't know that, but the banner was still showing in TOP_LEFT corner. When I switched the scene, it showed TOP_RIGHT corner, but during the loading screen, a banner that was on TOP_LEFT was still showing. After loading scene has finished, TOP_LEFT stopped showing, and TOP_RIGHT shows up.
So the workaround was to call it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Advertisement.Banner.Hide();

[/QUOTE]

Code (CSharp):

1. Advertisement.Banner.Hide(true);

and this code sequence produced the desired result.
Thanks anyway.
