Manage iAd banner's touch while using iAdAdditions category - ios

Question

iOS 7 bring the iAdAdditions category to UIViewController.
With it managing a banner is a matter of one line of code:
self.canDisplayBannerAds = YES;
But I wonder how to detect user touching the iAd banner. My need is to pause game behaviors (music, animations, timers...) while iAd is displayed full screen.
I have tried the following code:
- (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
if ([self isPresentingFullScreenAd]) {
// view will disappear because of user action on iAd banner
}
else {
// view will disappear for any other reasons
}
}
- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
if ([self isPresentingFullScreenAd]) {
// view will appear because full screen iAd — caused by previous user action on iAd banner — is dismissed
}
else {
// view will appear for other reasons
}
}
I have done some testings showing everything is OK. But I wonder if it's the correct way to implement it!
UPDATE
This is the solution I use in the production version of the application and everything is fine: no problems has showned.

Answer 1

You can use these specific delegates in your view controller, here's code ripped straight from my game where I toggle the audio/music off when a banner is clicked.
- (BOOL)bannerViewActionShouldBegin:(ADBannerView *)banner
willLeaveApplication:(BOOL)willLeave
{
[[CPAudioManager sharedInstance] toggleOnOffDependingOnSettings];
return YES;
}
-(void)bannerViewActionDidFinish:(ADBannerView *)banner
{
[[CPAudioManager sharedInstance] toggleOnOffDependingOnSettings];
}
For full screen interstitials the code is roughly the same, but you don't get such nice delegates.
You know when you are showing a full screen ad when you call requestInterstitialAdPresentation and it returns YES, e.g.
if( [self requestInterstitialAdPresentation]==YES ) {...}
You should pause your views, toggle your music off, and kill your banner view (probably).
Then, you know when the user has closed the interstitial in ViewDidAppear
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
if( self.isPresentingFullScreenAd )
{
// we are about to stop presenting full screen ads
// unpause view
// enable banner ads
// turn music back on if it was playing before
}
else
{
// we are presenting the normal view or the full screen ad
}
}
