Loading a Banner or MREC

To load a banner or MREC, call CreateBanner() or CreateMRec(), passing it your Ad Unit ID and desired ad view position:

Banners

Blueprint

C++

const FString BannerAdUnitId = TEXT("«ad-unit-ID»");

void InitializeBannerAds()
{
    // Banners are automatically sized to 320×50 on phones and 728×90 on tablets
    // You may call the utility method UAppLovinMAX::IsTablet() to help with view sizing adjustments
    UAppLovinMAX::CreateBanner(BannerAdUnitId, EAdViewPosition::BottomCenter);

    // Set background color for banners to be fully functional
    UAppLovinMAX::SetBannerBackgroundColor(BannerAdUnitId, «banner-background-color»);
}

MRECs

Blueprint

C++

const FString MRecAdUnitId = TEXT("«ad-unit-ID»");

void InitializeMRecAds()
{
    // MRECs are sized to 300x250 on phones and tablets
    // You may use the utility method 'UAppLovinMAX::IsTablet()' to help with view sizing adjustments
    UAppLovinMAX::CreateMRec(MRecAdUnitId, EAdViewPosition::Centered);
}

The complete list of position options are:

• TopLeft
