iPhone – Create an iAd Application

9 Comments

Starting from iPhone OS4, you can add an advertisement banner to your iPhone Application using the iAd framework. I found a great article talking about adding iAd to the iPhone app. Here is an example of a empty view based application with iAd.

1. Open Xcode and create a new View-based Application (iAdProject)
2. Add iAd.framework to the project
3. Modify the iAdProjectViewController.h

//
//  iAdProjectViewController.h
//  iAdProject
//
//  Created by ykyuen on 21/07/2010.
//

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <iAd/iAd.h>

@interface iAdProjectViewController : UIViewController <ADBannerViewDelegate>{
	ADBannerView *adBannerView;
}

@property(nonatomic, retain) ADBannerView *adBannerView;

@end

 

4. Modify the iAdProjectViewController.m

//
//  iAdProjectViewController.m
//  iAdProject
//
//  Created by ykyuen on 21/07/2010.
//

#import "iAdProjectViewController.h"

@implementation iAdProjectViewController
@synthesize adBannerView;


- (void)viewDidLoad {
	[super viewDidLoad];
	adBannerView = [[ADBannerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 50.0)];
	adBannerView.requiredContentSizeIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObject:ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier320x50];
	adBannerView.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier320x50;
	[adBannerView setHidden:YES];
	adBannerView.delegate = self;
	[self.view addSubview:adBannerView];
}

- (void)bannerViewDidLoadAd:(ADBannerView *)banner {
	[banner setHidden:NO];
}

- (void)bannerView:(ADBannerView *)banner didFailToReceiveAdWithError:(NSError *)error {
	[banner setHidden:YES];
}

- (void)dealloc {
	[adBannerView release];
	[super dealloc];
}

@end

 

5. Try it in the simulator

 

There are much more information about iAd in the reference below.
Done =)

  3. Thanks for the link.

    In your post: iPhone – Configuring the AVAudioSession and Output Audio to iPhone Speaker, you commented on using

    1. create a switching function in the appDelegate which take a bool as input parameter and change the audio route.
    2. then in your view, add a button and implement the click action which called the appDelegate to change the route.
    i am not sure if it works or not since i dun know if the route can be changed on the fly.
    can you explain this in a little more detail as i don’t know if i’ve done it right.
    Thanks

  4. I have read the post configuring the AVAudioSession and Output Audio 2 iPhone Speaker, and i think, just like someone Somewhere, that comment needs a little more detail. I am really stuck on doing this 2.
