Classes

The following classes are available globally.

  • The view that displays Ad Manager banner ads.

    To request this ad type using GADAdLoader, you need to pass kGADAdLoaderAdTypeDFPBanner (see GADAdLoaderAdTypes.h) to the |adTypes| parameter in GADAdLoader’s initializer method. If you request this ad type, your delegate must conform to the DFPBannerAdLoaderDelegate protocol.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class DFPBannerView : GADBannerView
  • Custom rendered ad. Your application renders the ad.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class DFPCustomRenderedAd : NSObject
  • Google Ad Manager interstitial ad, a full-screen advertisement shown at natural transition points in your application such as between game levels or news stories.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class DFPInterstitial : GADInterstitial
  • Specifies optional parameters for ad requests.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class DFPRequest : GADRequest
  • Displays AdChoices content.

    If a GADAdChoicesView is set on GADNativeAppInstallAdView or GADNativeContentAdView prior to calling -setNativeAppInstallAd: or -setNativeContentAd:, AdChoices content will render inside the GADAdChoicesView. By default, AdChoices is placed in the top right corner of GADNativeAppInstallAdView and GADNativeContentAdView.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class GADAdChoicesView : UIView
  • Ad loader options base class. See each ad type’s header for available GADAdLoaderOptions subclasses.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class GADAudioVideoManager : NSObject
  • The view that displays banner ads. A minimum implementation to get an ad from within a UIViewController class is:

      // Create and setup the ad view, specifying the size and origin at {0, 0}.
      GADBannerView *adView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner];
      adView.rootViewController = self;
      adView.adUnitID = @ID created when registering your app;
      // Place the ad view onto the screen.
      [self.view addSubview:adView];

    Declaration

    Swift

    class GADDefaultInAppPurchase : NSObject
  • The in-app purchase item to be purchased with the purchase flow handled by you, the application developer. Instances of this class are created and passed to your GADInAppPurchaseDelegate object when users click a buy button.

    To display media content in GADUnifiedNativeAdView instances, add a GADMediaView subview, assign the native ad view’s mediaView property, and set the native ad’s mediaContent property to the media view.

    If the native ad contains video content, the media view displays the video content.

    If the native ad doesn’t have video content and image loading is enabled, the media view displays the first image from the native ad’s |images| property.

    If the native ad doesn’t have video content and image loading is disabled, the media view is empty.
