Multi Component Extension
1) Admob SDK
2) Consent Form
Under Google’s updated EU user consent policy, you must make certain disclosures to your users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and Switzerland, and obtain their consent for the use of cookies or other local storage where legally required, and for the collection, sharing, and use of personal data for ads personalization. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
3) Admob Banner Ad
Banner ad units display rectangular ads that occupy a portion of an app’s layout. They stay on screen while users are interacting with the app, either anchored at the top or bottom of the screen or inline with content as the user scrolls. Banner ads can refresh automatically after a certain period of time.
Banner ads are effective because they work well with many types of apps and don’t take up much space. They’re also the simplest ad format to implement.
4) Admob Interstitial Ad
Interstitial ad units show full-page ads in your app. Place them at natural breaks & transitions in your app’s interface, such as after level completion in a gaming app.
4) Admob Rewarded Ad
AdMob rewarded ads are full screen video ads, image ads, or interactive ads, such as playable ads or surveys.
The user is shown a close button with a countdown timer that shows the number of seconds remaining before the user receives the reward. The actual duration of the countdown can be any duration between 5 and 30 seconds depending on the creative.
4) Admob Rewarded Interstitial Ad
Rewarded interstitial is a new type of incentivized ad format that allows you to offer rewards, such as coins or extra lives, for ads that appear automatically during natural app transitions.
Unlike rewarded ads, users aren’t required to opt-in to view a rewarded interstitial.
Instead of the opt-in prompt in rewarded ads, rewarded interstitials require an intro screen that announces the reward and gives users a chance to opt-out if they wish to do so.
4) Admob App-Open Ad
App open ad units appear when the user opens your app or switches back to your app. App open ad units appear on the loading or splash screen.
Why use app open ads? App open ads are specially designed to seamlessly integrate into the app open or app switch context. The unique app open ad layout offers the best user experience for this placement.
App open ad units currently only show text, image, rich media, and video ads.
4) Admob Native Ad
Native ads match both the form and function of the user experience in which they’re placed. They also match the visual design of the app they live within. These ads augment the user experience by providing value through relevant content that flows within the context of surrounding app content.
AdMob’s native ads format enables publishers to render ads that are seamless with content, or that take advantage of app features like swipe gestures and 3D animation.
Usage
First load native ad, then register asset views and finally show native ad.
view parameter accepts static layouts as well as dynamic components.

Extension is not working on Companion, Why?
This extension will not work on companion as companion application doesn’t have required manifest for the extension to work. You should always build the application to check if it is working or not. So, I will suggest you to complete your application and use this extension after.
Ads are only showing on test mode, When I put my own ad unit id, It doesn't show ads, Why?
Many users have complained that this extension is not able to show their ads with their ad unit id. First of all, you should be sure if you haven’t violated any of the AdMob policies and your AdMob is allowed to serve the ads. You should be sure that you have followed all the steps from documentation properly. Some users use ad-unit as app-unit or vice-versa. Make sure your are not that user and have used appId(which contains ~) while creating extension in Niotron IDE as suggested & adUnitId(which contains /) properly in Admob Banner, Interstitial or Rewarded ad extension.
Secondly, If your ad is failed to load then get the failure message from AdFailedToLoad method. If the failure message is no-ad-config then you can check a FAQ on this documented after this FAQ. You can reply this post if you got any trouble.
Ad loading failed with an error `No Ad Config`
Most user get this message after they completed all the steps on documentation,
{
"Code": 3,
"Message": "No ad config.",
"Domain": "com.google.android.gms.ads",
"Cause": "null",
"Response Info": {
"Response ID": "null",
"Mediation Adapter Class Name": "",
"Adapter Responses": []
}
}
You don’t need to worry about this. If the app is not published on Play Store then first make sure you have followed steps properly then you can publish your app and wait few days.
Also, Kindly ensure that the following conditions are fulfilled in order to maximize the chances of receiving ads from the AdMob SDK:
Copied from Google Groups, See
- Fully complete the setup of your AdMob account, particularly the billing and PIN verification sections.
- Link your app to your AdMob account; you may have to wait for a week or two after publishing an app in order to do this.
- Resolve any policy violations in your AdMob account if any.
You may also refer to common reason for ads not showing for additional scenarios, as well as the fixes for those. Also, you may also reach out to the AdMob Help Center for further assistance on such ad-serving concerns.
