react-native-admob

A react-native module for Google AdMob GADBanner, DFPBanner and GADInterstitial (react-native v0.19.0 or newer required).

The banner is implemented as a component while the interstitial has an imperative API.

Installation

With rnpm (recommended)

1. npm i react-native-admob -S
2. rnpm link
3. Add Google AdMob Framework to your Xcode project with CocoaPods or manually. This is only needed for iOS and guarantees your app is using the newest admob version.

Manual Installation

iOS

2. Add Google AdMob Framework to your Xcode project with CocoaPods or manually. This is only needed for iOS and guarantees your app is using the newest admob version.
3. Add react-native-admob static library to your Xcode project like explained here. (Step 3 of this guide is not needed)

Android

1. npm i react-native-admob -S
2. Make the following additions to the given files:

android/settings.gradle

include ':RNAdMob', ':app'
project(':RNAdMob').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-admob/android')

android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
   ...
   compile project(':RNAdMob')
}

MainActivity.java

On top, where imports are:

import com.sbugert.rnadmob.RNAdMobPackage;

Under protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {:

  return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
    new MainReactPackage(),
    new RNAdMobPackage()
  );

Usage

import { AdMobBanner, AdMobInterstitial, PublisherBanner} from 'react-native-admob'

// Display a banner
<AdMobBanner
  bannerSize="fullBanner"
  adUnitID="your-admob-unit-id"
  testDeviceID="EMULATOR"
  didFailToReceiveAdWithError={this.bannerError} />

// Display a DFP Publisher banner
<PublisherBanner
  bannerSize="fullBanner"
  adUnitID="your-admob-unit-id"
  testDeviceID="EMULATOR"
  didFailToReceiveAdWithError={this.bannerError}
  admobDispatchAppEvent={this.adMobEvent} />


// Display an interstitial
AdMobInterstitial.setAdUnitID('your-admob-unit-id');
AdMobInterstitial.setTestDeviceID('EMULATOR');
AdMobInterstitial.requestAd(AdMobInterstitial.showAd);

Reference

AdMobBanner

bannerSize property

Corresponding to iOS framework banner size constants

Prop value	Description	Size
banner	Standard Banner for Phones and Tablets	320x50
largeBanner	Large Banner for Phones and Tablets	320x100
mediumRectangle	IAB Medium Rectangle for Phones and Tablets	300x250

Events as function props

Corresponding to Ad lifecycle event callbacks

Prop
adViewDidReceiveAd()
didFailToReceiveAdWithError(errorDescription)
adViewWillPresentScreen()
adViewWillDismissScreen()
adViewDidDismissScreen()
adViewWillLeaveApplication()

PublisherBanner

Same as AdMobBanner, except it has an extra event prop:

|'admobDispatchAppEvent()' |

This handles App events that Admob/DFP can send back to the app. More info here: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/dfp/android/banner#ios_app-events

AdMobInterstitials

Methods

Name	Description
setAdUnitID(adUnitID)	sets the AdUnit ID for all future ad requests.
setTestDeviceID(deviceID)	sets the test device ID
requestAd(callback)	requests an interstitial and calls callback when interstitialDidLoad orinterstitialDidFailToLoad event fires
showAd(callback)	shows an interstitial if it is ready and calls callback when interstitialDidOpen event fires
isReady(callback)	calls callback with boolean whether interstitial is ready to be shown

For simulators/emulators you can use 'EMULATOR' for the test device ID.
Note: tryShowNewInterstitial() is deprecated as of v1.1.0 and can be replaced by calling requestAd with showAd as callback.

Events

Unfortunately, events are not consistent across iOS and Android. To have one unified API, new event names are introduced for pairs that are roughly equivalent.

iOS	this library	Android
interstitialDidReceiveAd	interstitialDidLoad	onAdLoaded
interstitial:didFailToReceiveAdWithError	interstitialDidFailToLoad	onAdFailedToLoad
interstitialWillPresentScreen	interstitialDidOpen	onAdOpened
interstitialDidFailToPresentScreen
interstitialWillDismissScreen
interstitialDidDismissScreen	interstitialDidClose	onAdClosed
interstitialWillLeaveApplication	interstitialWillLeaveApplication	onAdLeftApplication

Note that interstitialWillLeaveApplication and onAdLeftApplication are not exactly the same but share one event in this library.

TODO

• Support Ad Targeting
• Also use interstitial event names for banner
• PublisherBanner [DFPBanner/PublisherAdView should be able to accept multiple adSizes. Currently only caters for a single size]
