Swift - ADBannerView

Question

I tried to implement ADBannerView with the old way like Objective C but unsuccessfull. Everythings work but the advertisments didn't show up, it stays a blank field.

func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
    UIView.beginAnimations(nil, context: nil)
    UIView.setAnimationDuration(1)
    banner.alpha = 1
    UIView.commitAnimations()
}

func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
    UIView.beginAnimations(nil, context: nil)
    UIView.setAnimationDuration(1)
    banner.alpha = 0
    UIView.commitAnimations()
}

Anyone who already tried iAd on Swift?

Answer 1

I've found a solution, how to implement it. (You can use inside each method "banner.alpha 1.0" or other things, too.)

//import ... your normal imports as UIKit etc.
import iAd

class YourClassViewController: UIViewController, ADBannerViewDelegate {

   @IBOutlet var adBannerView: ADBannerView //connect in IB connection inspector with your ADBannerView

   override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()

      self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
      self.adBannerView.delegate = self
      self.adBannerView.hidden = true //hide until ad loaded
   }

   func bannerViewWillLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
      NSLog("bannerViewWillLoadAd")
   }

   func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
      NSLog("bannerViewDidLoadAd")
      self.adBannerView.hidden = false //now show banner as ad is loaded
   }

   func bannerViewActionDidFinish(banner: ADBannerView!) {
      NSLog("bannerViewDidLoadAd")

      //optional resume paused game code

   }

   func bannerViewActionShouldBegin(banner: ADBannerView!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {
      NSLog("bannerViewActionShouldBegin")

      //optional pause game code

      return true
   }

   func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
      NSLog("bannerView")
   }

   //... your class implementation code

}
