GADBannerView does not set height

Question

Does anybody know how to show 50pt-height GADBannerView programmatically?

In my viewDidLoad,

int heightOfBanner = 50;
GADBannerView *banner = 
 [[GADBannerView alloc]
 initWithAdSize:GADAdSizeFullWidthPortraitWithHeight(heightOfBanner)
 origin:CGPointMake(0, CGSizeFromGADAdSize(kGADAdSizeBanner).height)];
banner.adUnitID = @"ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
banner.rootViewController = self;
[self.view addSubview:banner];

[banner loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];

Above code does't show anything.

But when heightOfBanner set to be higher value(for example, 200), it works well(but banner's height is not 50).

My podfile is below:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.0'

and I did "pod install" successfully.

Don't use exact dimensions to draw your GADBannerView. You should set its frame and origin relative to the screen dimensions. This will display your GADBannerView on the bottom of the screen

    // Get device screen size
    // For example, screenBounds on an iPhone 6 will look like this
    // screenBounds.origin.x == 0
    // screenBounds.origin.y == 0
    // screenBounds.size.width == 375
    // screenBounds.size.height == 667
    CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];

    // Setup AdMob view
    // Create the GADBannerView
    adMobView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner];

    // Use your BANNER_UNIT_ID
    adMobView.adUnitID = BANNER_UNIT_ID;
    adMobView.rootViewController = self;
    [adMobView loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];

    // This sets the frame origin at (0,0) which would be the top left of the device screen
    // screenBounds.size.width and adMobView.bounds.size.height sets the size of the GADBannerView
    [adMobView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, screenBounds.size.width, adMobView.bounds.size.height)];

    // This will take the center of our GADBannerView and move it to a point (x,y)
    // We want our GADBannerView.center in the center of the device screen
    // So lets get the width of our screen and divide it by 2. We do this with screenBounds.size.width / 2
    // We also want our GADBannerView to be at the bottom of the screen
    // So lets get the height of our screen with screenBounds.size.height
    // Remember were talking about the center of our GADBannerView here so if we just set it to that
    // Half of our GADBannerView's height will be cut off by the bottom of the screen
    // So lets subtract half of our GADBannerView's height to fix that with adMobView.bounds.size.height / 2
    adMobView.center = CGPointMake(screenBounds.size.width / 2, screenBounds.size.height - (adMobView.bounds.size.height / 2));

    // Add it to our view
    [self.view addSubview:adMobView];

@TsuyoshiEndo I've updated my answer so the width of the `GADBannerView` stretches across the width of entire screen. — Daniel Storm, May 02 '15 at 14:07
It works well!! I understood _Don't use exact dimensions_ and _use center_ when I want to locate specific point. So, When I use one of UIViewControllers in UINavigationController, does this code work well? — Tsuyoshi Endo, May 02 '15 at 14:25
I got it. [I made it temporarily (so dirty..) but should work also in UINavigationController](https://github.com/etsuyoshi/UINavigationWithGADBannerView.git) using @DanielStorm code. Thank you for a good answer. — Tsuyoshi Endo, May 02 '15 at 16:23
