iAd banner orientation iPad

[Dilemma Apps]

Seems to be a bug with the following code

I can set up an iAd banner in either orientation but it cannot then be changed when the device changes orientation,

If the is horizontal is set on the first call, there is no way to change it later if the orientation changes.

Code: Select all

var banner = new NKBanner;
banner.init(0,0);
var isHorizontal = '';

function bannerViewDidLoadAd(){
        if(window.innerWidth > 1000){
            isHorizontal = "yes";
        } else {
            isHorizontal = "no";
        }
        banner.init(0, 0, isHorizontal);
banner.show();
}

Can someone else please confirm this is the case

Sunny, can you confirm this is a bug?

[sunny]

not, it's not a bug, there must be 2 ads for each orientation and you show/hide related ads on rotation event
maybe it will be done automatically by NimbleKit but I doubt it will happen soon.

I didn't think about doing it like that,

thanks

Sunny, I didn't quite understand the advice here:

maybe it will be done automatically by NimbleKit but I doubt it will happen soon.

Do you mean two calls to NKBanner, like this:

Code: Select all

           var portraitBanner = new NKBanner;
            var landscapeBanner = new NKBanner;
            portraitBanner.init(0,937);
            landscapeBanner.init(0,700);

            function bannerViewDidLoadAd()
            {
            ... // code to detect orientation
                if(portrait) {  
                    portraitBanner.show();
                    landscapeBanner.hide();
                } else {  
                    landscapeBanner.show();
                    portraitBanner.hide();
                }

It seemed to work when I did it, but of course it tried to load ads twice, so sometimes it fired bannerViewDidLoadAd() twice and other times it fired bannerViewDidLoadAd() once and didFailToReceiveAdWithError(error) once.

Just want to be sure that's what you were saying. Thanks!
