Integrate AdMob in iOS Application;

Hello Everyone;
Hope winters are going good around you;

Today’s menu is again simple and short; We’ll learn how to integrate AdMob in an iOS application. I will show you the easiest way to integrate AdMob in the application. So lets start;

Step 1: Open the Xcode, Create a new project using View base application. Give the application “AdmobiPhone”.

Step 2: Xcode automatically creates the directory structure and adds essential frameworks to it. You can explore the directory structure to check out the content of the directory.

Step 3: Expand classes and notice Interface Builder created the AdmobiPhoneViewController class for you and generated a separate nib, AdmobiPhoneViewController.xib for the “AdmobiPhone”.

Step 4: First go to www.admob.com site, we need to register in this site for AdMob. After login, goto Sites &Apps –> Add site/App –> Select a site or app type –> Select iPhone App (See figure 1)

Now you can download the AbMob SDK, it is required for publishing Ads and drag drop into the Xcode project.

Step 5: We need to add framework in project, so select the framework -> add New Framework -> Select AudioTollbox.framework, MediaPlayer.framework,MessageUI.framework and SystemConfiguration.framework add in the Framework folder.

Step 6: We need to add one background image in the project.

Step 7: Open the AdmobiPhoneViewController.h file, in this file we need to import GADBannerView.h file and create a instance of GADBannerView class. So make the following changes:

[sourcecode language=”objc”]

#import
#import "GADBannerView.h"

@interface AdmobiPhoneViewController : UIViewController {
GADBannerView *AbMob;
}
@end

[/sourcecode]

Step 8:  Now open the AdmobiPhoneViewController.m file and make the following changes in the file.

[sourcecode language=”objc”]</pre>
<div>#import "AdmobiPhoneViewController.h"
#define AdMob_ID @"a14dccd0fb24d45" // You can get this id from www.admob.com. This is Publisher ID

@implementation AdmobiPhoneViewController

– (void)dealloc
{
AbMob.delegate = nil;
[AbMob release];
[super dealloc];
}

– (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
// Releases the view if it doesn’t have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren’t in use.
}

#pragma mark – View lifecycle

// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
– (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
AbMob = [[GADBannerView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0,
self.view.frame.size.height –
GAD_SIZE_320×70.height,
GAD_SIZE_320×70.width,
GAD_SIZE_320×70.height)];

AbMob.adUnitID = AdMob_ID;
AbMob.rootViewController = self;
[self.view addSubview:AbMob];

GADRequest *r = [[GADRequest alloc] init];
r.testing = YES;
[AbMob loadRequest:r];

}

– (void)viewDidUnload
{
[super viewDidUnload];
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}

– (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}

@end</div>
<pre>
[/sourcecode]

Step 9: Now compile and run the application on the device.
