Getting Started

For help getting started with Flutter, view our online documentation.

Setup Android project

1. Add the classpath to the [project]/android/build.gradle file.

dependencies {
  // Example existing classpath
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
  // Add the google services classpath
  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
}

2. Add the apply plugin to the [project]/android/app/build.gradle file.

// ADD THIS AT THE BOTTOM
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

3. Add your Admob App ID.

Important: This step is required as of Google Mobile Ads SDK version 17.0.0. Failure to add this tag results in a crash with the message: The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized incorrectly.

<manifest>
  <application>
    <!-- Sample AdMob App ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 -->
    <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
      android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>
  </application>
</manifest>

Setup iOS project

1. Add Admob App ID:

Important: This step is required as of Google Mobile Ads SDK version 7.42.0. Failure to add add this Info.plist entry results in a crash with the message: The Google Mobile Ads SDK was initialized incorrectly.

In your app's Info.plist file, add a GADApplicationIdentifier key with a string value of your AdMob app ID. You can find your App ID in the AdMob UI.

You can make this change programmatically:

<key>GADApplicationIdentifier</key>
<string>Your_Admob_App_ID</string>

2. Add embeded view support:

In your app's Info.plist file, add this

<key>io.flutter.embedded_views_preview</key>
<true/>

  ),
)

Hide the ad until it load completed

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_native_admob/flutter_native_admob.dart';
import 'package:flutter_native_admob/native_admob_controller.dart';

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  static const _adUnitID = "<Your ad unit ID>";

  final _nativeAdController = NativeAdmobController();
  double _height = 0;

  StreamSubscription _subscription;

  @override
  void initState() {
    _subscription = _nativeAdController.stateChanged.listen(_onStateChanged);
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _subscription.cancel();
    _nativeAdController.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  void _onStateChanged(AdLoadState state) {
    switch (state) {
      case AdLoadState.loading:
        setState(() {
          _height = 0;
        });
        break;

      case AdLoadState.loadCompleted:
        setState(() {
          _height = 330;
        });
        break;

      default:
        break;
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Plugin example app'),
        ),
        body: ListView(
          children: <Widget>[
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              height: _height,
              padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              child: NativeAdmob(
                // Your ad unit id
                adUnitID: _adUnitID,
                controller: _nativeAdController,

                // Don't show loading widget when in loading state
                loading: Container(),
              ),
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(

              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Prevent ad from reloading on ListView/GridView

When putting NativeAdmob in ListView/GridView, it will keep reloading as the PlatformView init again when scrolling to the item. To prevent from reloading and take full control of the NativeAdmob, we can create NativeAdmobController and keep it

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_native_admob/flutter_native_admob.dart';
import 'package:flutter_native_admob/native_admob_controller.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  static const _adUnitID = "<Your ad unit ID>";

  final _controller = NativeAdmobController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Plugin example app'),
        ),
        body: ListView(
          children: <Widget>[
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              height: 330,
              padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              child: NativeAdmob(
                adUnitID: _adUnitID,
                controller: _controller,
              ),
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              height: 200.0,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),
            Container(
              height: 330,
              padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20.0),
              child: NativeAdmob(
                adUnitID: _adUnitID,
                controller: _controller,
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
