Change Layout of Ad

[hirakchhatbar]

How do I change layout of Ad. The current ad view is making the list look ugly.
Is it possible by adding project in gradle or I have to manually copy paste all required classes to my project to customize layout?

@hirakchhatbar Do you really expect the beatiful layout for free? :) 💯 The current layout was implemented only for demo... To be serious I got that you talking about Advanced ads ... I should warn you that it wasn't released by Admob yet then you could take a look at the Express ads instead of Advanced ones (see the recipe 3 https://github.com/clockbyte/admobadapter/wiki/Cookbook#the-recipe-3-for-the-recyclerview-scrolling-with-express-ads). The layout for Express ads could be customized in your Admob console while creation of a native banner.
However, YES you can inject your own layouts if you use the gradle version with the following codesnippet (also see Recipe 1 or 2)

//inject your custom layout and strategy of binding for installapp/content  ads
//here you should pass the extended NativeAdLayoutContext
//by default it has a value InstallAppAdLayoutContext.getDefault()
InstallAppAdLayoutContext installContext  = new InstallAppAdLayoutContext(R.layout.yourInstallAdLayout);
adapterWrapper.setInstallAdsLayoutContext(installContext );
//by default it has a value ContentAdLayoutContext.getDefault()
ContentAdLayoutContext contentContext  = new ContentAdLayoutContext (R.layout.yourContentAdLayout);
adapterWrapper.setContentAdsLayoutContext(contentContext);

Also instead our InstallAppAdLayoutContext/ContentAdLayoutContext you could use your own binding strategy. Just extend these classes overriding the method bind(). See the code to get it better :)
