How to get Adview below Viewpager in CoordinatorLayout

Question

At the moment the AdView is appearing inside the ViewPager so its blocking the content in the app. How can I get the AdView to appear below the ViewPager and not inside.

I have tried to put the AdView in a RelativeLayout below the ViewPager but then the AdView doesn't show at all.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"

            app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/colorTabIndicator"

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>


    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"
        android:layout_gravity="center|bottom"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

</LinearLayout>

You can add ViewPager and AdView inside RelativeLayout and specify android:layout_above="@+id/adView" property to ViewPager so that adView doesn't block the ViewPager contents.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.candyx.testapp.Activity">

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/main_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_above="@+id/adView">

        <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@drawable/main_button_background">

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:id="@+id/toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>

            <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                android:id="@+id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                app:tabMode="scrollable"
                app:tabGravity="fill"
                app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/colorTabIndicator"
                app:tabIndicatorHeight="3dp"/>

        </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

        <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
            android:id="@+id/viewPager"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

    <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        android:id="@id/adView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"
        android:layout_gravity="center|bottom"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>

</RelativeLayout>

The problem with this is that now it pushes the content up and under the toolbar about the banner size so I think its the new coordinator layout that doesn't want to play along. I don't really want it nested inside the viewpager but I guess only solution so far is to put banner size bottom padding on my recyclerview – Jacques Krause Jun 26 '15 at 07:02

Nope it's still inside the viewpager at the bottom but it's ok ill just use the bottom padding on the recyclerview so when you scroll to the bottom there is a blank space for the ad – Jacques Krause Jun 26 '15 at 09:58

Did u add this line `android:layout_above="@+id/adView"` to `CoordinatorLayout`? There is no way it is inside `ViewPager` . I have tested in a sample app :) – Abhishek V Jun 26 '15 at 10:00

Oops I didn't see that. Yes now it works perfect thanks alot – Jacques Krause Jun 26 '15 at 10:09
consider also adding `android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"` to center your add banner. – irudyak Oct 26 '15 at 13:28

It works but I am getting a white overlay in the status bar like shown in this question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/32428700/1820644 – kirtan403 Nov 23 '15 at 21:52
Thanks a lot for this, you deserve a nobel price. – emboole Jun 10 '17 at 02:56
@40-Love Share the full layout – Abhishek V Aug 03 '18 at 13:56
I'm finding that the main activity content is pushed up by the height of the adview, so that the top of the activity is under the toolbar. Any hints? – drmrbrewer Aug 30 '18 at 22:57
@drmrbrewer Can you share your layout structure? – Abhishek V Aug 31 '18 at 02:32
@AbhishekV I'm finding it difficult to know how to do this in a comment, so I'll summarise it. I have `RelativeLayout` at top level, and within that: `Toolbar`, `CoordinatorLayout` and `AdView`. Within the `CoordinatorLayout` I have a `NestedScrollView` and within that a `LinearLayout` with my main content for the activity. I have used your `android:layout_above` trick in the `CoordinatorLayout` to put it above the `AdView`, but this pushes it under the `Toolbar`. I can't help noticing that your `Toolbar` is within the `CoordinatorLayout` (mine is outside). – drmrbrewer Aug 31 '18 at 08:24
Maybe I need an `android:layout_above` in the `Toolbar` to explicitly put it above the `CoordinatorLayout`? I also wonder why we have to use a `RelativeLayout` and be explicit about ordering like this... why can't we just lay out elements in the order we want, in a `LinearLayout`? – drmrbrewer Aug 31 '18 at 08:26
Solution was to add `android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize"` to `CoordinatorLayout` – drmrbrewer Aug 31 '18 at 18:24

Put ViewPager and Adview inside a another LinearLayout as below:

    <LinearLayout 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">
     <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
            android:id="@+id/viewPager"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

        <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
            xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
            android:id="@+id/adView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            ads:adSize="BANNER"
            ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"
            android:layout_gravity="center|bottom"
            />
    </LinearLayout>

This worked for me : just put inside the ViewPager the app:layout_behavior :

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

I tried the answer by @AvishekV but that didn't solve my problem. But I took THE IDEA of putting CoordinatorLayout and Adview inside a parent layout which in my case was ConstraintLayout. Below is the structure

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

   <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
       android:id="@+id/content"
       android:layout_width="0dp"
       android:layout_height="0dp"
       android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
       app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/adView"
       app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
       app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
       app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

        <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
           //CollapsingToolbarLayout
           //ConstraintLayout, if you need to put anything inside collpasingtoolbar
           //Toolbar
           //TabLayout
        </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

        <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
    android:id="@+id/adView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
    ads:adUnitId="your adunit id"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
