Banner Ads

To load a banner, create a BannerView and add it as a subview of your view hierarchy.

You can create banners of either 320x50, 300x250 or 728x90 size:


fun createBanner_320x50(activity : Any?) {
    banner = BIDBanner(activity, BIDAdFormat.banner_320x50)
    banner.setBannerViewDelegate(bannerShowDelegate)
}

fun createBanner_300x250(activity : Any?) {
    banner = BIDBanner(activity, BIDAdFormat.banner_300x250)
    banner.setBannerViewDelegate(bannerShowDelegate)
}

fun createBanner_728x90(activity : Any?) {
    banner = BIDBanner(activity, BIDAdFormat.banner_728x90)
    banner.setBannerViewDelegate(bannerShowDelegate)
}

Implement BIDBannerShow so that you are notified of when your ad is ready and of other ad-related events.

//BIDBannerShow protocol methods 

var bannerShow: BIDBannerShow? = object : BIDBannerShow {
    override fun load(info: BIDAdInfo, adView: BIDBanner) {
        print("Banner - adViewDidLoadAd. AdView: $adView, AdInfo: $info")
    }

    override fun display(info: BIDAdInfo, adView: BIDBanner) {
        print("Banner - didDisplayAd. AdView: $adView, AdInfo: $info")
    }

    override fun failToDisplay(info: BIDAdInfo, adView: BIDBanner, error: String) {
        print("Banner - didFailToDisplayAd. AdView: $adView, Error:$errors")
    }

    override fun click(info: BIDAdInfo, adView: BIDBanner) {
        print("Banner - didClicked. AdView: $adView, AdInfo: $info")
    }

    override fun allNetworksFailedToDisplay(error: String) {
        print("Banner - allNetworksFailedToDisplayAd - error: $error")
    }
}

To display a banner you will need to bind it to FrameLayout or ConstraintLayout for Android and UIView for iOS

banner.bindBanner(container)

Stopping and Starting Auto-Refresh

There may be cases when you would like to stop auto-refresh, for instance, when you hide a banner ad or want to refresh it manually.

Stop auto-refresh for a banner ad with the following code:

banner.stopAutorefresh()

Start auto-refresh for a banner ad with the following code:

banner.startAutorefresh(30.0)

Manually refresh the contents with the following code. You must stop auto-refresh prior to calling refreshAd.

banner.refresh()

Destroying Banners

Once you're finished with a banner ad, it's essential to clean up its resources by invoking the destroy() method. Neglecting this step could lead to a deterioration in your app's performance

banner.destroy()
