Page Summary
Inline adaptive banners allow you to specify an ad width to determine the optimal size and maximize performance by optimizing ad size for each device.
Compared to anchored adaptive banners, inline adaptive banners are larger, taller, use variable heights, and are placed in scrolling content.
To implement inline adaptive banners, you get the device width (or set your own) and use a static method on the ad size class to get an inline adaptive ad size object for the chosen orientation.
Ad Manager reservation ad sizes can be served in the same ad slot as adaptive banner sized ads by setting theadSizeto the adaptive size andvalidAdSizesto an array of supported reservation ad sizes.
You can preload inline adaptive banners for a specific orientation or limit their height using dedicated methods.
Adaptive banners let you specify the width of an ad to determine the optimal
ad size. Adaptive banners also maximize performance by optimizing the ad size
for each device. This approach results in opportunities for
improved performance.
Compared to anchored adaptive banners, inline adaptive banners are larger,
taller, and use variable instead of fixed heights. Inline adaptive banners are
of variable height, and might encompass the entire screen or a maximum height
that you specify.
You place inline adaptive banners in scrolling content, for example:
Before you begin
Before continuing, make sure you have the following:
Unlike anchored adaptive banners, inline adapter banners load using an inline
adaptive banner size. To create an inline adaptive ad size, complete the
following:
Get the width of the device in use, or set your own width if you don't want
to use the full width of the screen.
Swift
lettotalWidth=view.bounds.width// Make sure the ad fits inside the readable area.letinsets=view.safeAreaInsetsletadWidth=totalWidth-insets.left-insets.right
CGFloattotalWidth=CGRectGetWidth(view.bounds);// Make sure the ad fits inside the readable area.UIEdgeInsetsinsets=view.safeAreaInsets;CGFloatadWidth=totalWidth-insets.left-insets.right;
To get an inline adaptive ad size object for the chosen orientation, use a
static method on the ad size class:
Swift
letadSize=currentOrientationInlineAdaptiveBanner(width:adWidth)bannerView.adSize=adSize// For Ad Manager, the `adSize` property is used for the adaptive banner ad// size. The `validAdSizes` property is used as normal for the supported// reservation sizes for the ad placement.letvalidAdSize=currentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBanner(width:adWidth)bannerView.validAdSizes=[nsValue(for:validAdSize)]
GADAdSizeadSize=GADCurrentOrientationInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(adWidth);bannerView.adSize=adSize;// For Ad Manager, the `adSize` property is used for the adaptive banner ad// size. The `validAdSizes` property is used as normal for the supported// reservation sizes for the ad placement.GADAdSizevalidAdSize=GADCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth(adWidth);bannerView.validAdSizes=@[NSValueFromGADAdSize(validAdSize)];
When implementing adaptive banners in your app, note these points:
The inline adaptive banner sizes work best when using the full available
width. In most cases, this size is the full width of the device screen in
use, or the full width of the banner's parent content. You must know the width
of the view to place in the ad, the device width, the parent content width,
and applicable safe areas.
You may need to update or create new line items to work with adaptive
sizes.Learn more.
Orient inline adaptive banner size
To preload an inline adaptive banner ad for a specific orientation, use the

Implementation involves obtaining device width or setting a custom width, then using `GADCurrentOrientationInlineBannerAdSizeWithWidth` or `GADInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidthAndMaxHeight` to create the ad size. These banners load using the specified size, and `validAdSizes` supports reservation sizes. For orientation-specific preloading, use `GADPortraitInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth` or `GADLandscapeInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidth`. `GADInlineAdaptiveBannerAdSizeWithWidthAndMaxHeight` enables limiting banner height.\n"]]
