Xamarin.Plugin.AdMob

Cross-platform ads for your Xamarin Forms app.

This project has no affiliation with the Microsoft or the Xamarin teams.

Android setup

In order to register the renderers, you must call their Init method in the OnCreate method of your MainActivity.

Xamarin.Plugin.Ads.AdMob.AdMobBannerRenderer.Init();

Also, for the ads to work, you need to update your app's manifest to include the AdActivity and the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and INTERNET permissions. Like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
  <application ...>
    <activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />
  </application>
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>

Displaying a banner ad

Configure your default ad unit ID in your App's constructor in App.xaml.cs.

AdMobBanner.AndroidAdUnitId = "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx";

XAML

Add the controls namespace at the top of your page:

xmlns:admob="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Plugin.AdMob.Controls;assembly=Xamarin.Plugin.AdMob"

and then place the banned in your page.

<admob:AdMobBanner />

C#

var bannerAd = new AdMobBanner();
