Banner - Wrong Size on HTC One

Hello. I've had report from a user that the Amazon banner is wrongly sized on HTC One. That ruins all the layout, and makes the banner cover part of the gameplay area and other important UI elements. In code I force a 320x50 banner, and in most cases it does indeed give me a banner of that size (although they seem to be a few pixels bigger, it seems there's a border on the banner), but on his case the banner came as full width (1920 pixels) and around 140 pixels high, that covers 16x more area of the screen than what I asked in code! That ruined the gameplay for him (and certainly dozens or hundreds of others that didn't take the time to report to me by email with a screenshot), and earned me a bad review. First: is it a bug and will be fixed? Second: how can I prevent it in code for happening (I mean, *REALLY* forcing the banner to be the size i want)? Here's the relevant part of my code: (Lib version: 5.1.153) amazonAdView = new AdLayout(ctx, com.amazon.device.ads.AdSize.SIZE_320x50); FrameLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL); amazonAdView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams); Thanks

Can you give the live app name, so that i can see try this code on HTC one and check amazonAdView = new AdLayout(this, AdSize.SIZE_320x50); float scale = this.getApplicationContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density; LayoutParams layoutParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams((int) (320 * scale),(int) (50 * scale), Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL); amazonAdView .setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

Thanks. I don't have an HTC to test, but I have made the changes in code as suggested, and will release an update in a few days with this change. On the new game being developed I have already created the layout by your suggestion (limiting the width/height), so hopefully it will be working as expected. Thanks again.
