I am currently using this code to display an Admob request;

If I use this code, the banner appears, but at the top of the screen not the bottom;

Answer 1

METHOD 1: Put this code in bottom of your code.

//TRY_1:
        bannerView_.frame = CGRectMake(screenWidth/2.0 - bannerView_.frame.size.width/2.0, screenHeight - bannerView_.frame.size.height,
                                       bannerView_.frame.size.width,bannerView_.frame.size.height);
//OR TRY_2:
        bannerView_.frame = CGRectMake(screenHeight/2.0 - bannerView_.frame.size.width/2.0, screenWidth - bannerView_.frame.size.height,
                                       bannerView_.frame.size.width,bannerView_.frame.size.height);

METHOD 2: Detailed clean way

typedef enum _bannerType
{
    kBanner_Portrait_Top,
    kBanner_Portrait_Bottom,
    kBanner_Landscape_Top,
    kBanner_Landscape_Bottom,
}CocosBannerType;

//In .h declare  CocosBannerType mBannerType;

-(void)createAdmobAds
 {
    mBannerType = kBanner_Portrait_Bottom; //kBanner_Portrait_Top

    AppController *app =  (AppController*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    // Create a view of the standard size at the bottom of the screen.
    // Available AdSize constants are explained in GADAdSize.h.

    if(mBannerType <= kBanner_Portrait_Bottom)
        mBannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait];
    else
        mBannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerLandscape];

    // Specify the ad's "unit identifier." This is your AdMob Publisher ID.
    mBannerView.adUnitID = MY_BANNER_UNIT_ID;

    // Let the runtime know which UIViewController to restore after taking
    // the user wherever the ad goes and add it to the view hierarchy.

    mBannerView.rootViewController = app.navController;
    [app.navController.view addSubview:mBannerView];

    // Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad.
    [mBannerView loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];

    CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
    CGSize s = screenRect.size;

    CGRect frame = mBannerView.frame;

You can check the solution proposed in Google Ads developer blog: http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2012/06/keeping-smart-banner-docked-to-bottom.html

// Initialize the banner docked to the bottom of the screen.
// We start in a portrait orientation so use kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait.
  CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(0.0,
                               self.view.frame.size.height -
                               CGSizeFromGADAdSize(
                                   kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait).height);

  self.adBanner = [[[GADBannerView alloc]
                    initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait
                            origin:origin] autorelease];

//Continue rest of initialization here

Make sure to use self.view.frame.size.width in the Y coordinate of the origin if you are using kGADAdSizeSmartBannerLandscape.
