IMAAdsManagerDelegate
@protocol IMAAdsManagerDelegate
A callback protocol for IMAAdsManager.
-
Called when there is an IMAAdEvent.
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager receiving the event
|
event
|
|
-
Called when there was an error playing the ad.
Log the error and resume playing content.
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager that errored
|
error
|
|
-
Called when an ad is ready to play.
The implementing code should pause the content playback and prepare the UI
for ad playback.
Declaration
Swift
func adsManagerDidRequestContentPause(_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager)
Objective-C
- (void)adsManagerDidRequestContentPause:(nonnull IMAAdsManager *)adsManager;
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager requesting content pause
|
-
Called when an ad has finished or an error occurred during the playback.
The implementing code should resume the content playback.
Declaration
Swift
func adsManagerDidRequestContentResume(_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager)
Objective-C
- (void)adsManagerDidRequestContentResume:(nonnull IMAAdsManager *)adsManager;
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager requesting content resume
|
-
Called every 200ms to provide time updates for the current ad.
Declaration
Swift
optional func adsManager(_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager, adDidProgressToTime mediaTime: TimeInterval, totalTime: TimeInterval)
Objective-C
- (void)adsManager:(nonnull IMAAdsManager *)adsManager
adDidProgressToTime:(NSTimeInterval)mediaTime
totalTime:(NSTimeInterval)totalTime;
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager tracking ad playback
|
mediaTime
|
the current media time in seconds
|
totalTime
|
the total media length in seconds
|
-
Called when the current ad is sufficiently buffered and playback is likely
to keep up.
Declaration
Swift
optional func adsManagerAdPlaybackReady(_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager)
Objective-C
- (void)adsManagerAdPlaybackReady:(nonnull IMAAdsManager *)adsManager;
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager with ad playback ready
|
-
Called when the current ad media buffer is empty and playback did stall.
Declaration
Swift
optional func adsManagerAdDidStartBuffering(_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager)
Objective-C
- (void)adsManagerAdDidStartBuffering:(nonnull IMAAdsManager *)adsManager;
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager tracking the stalled ad
|
-
Called as the current ad media buffers.
Declaration
Swift
optional func adsManager(_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager, adDidBufferToMediaTime mediaTime: TimeInterval)
Objective-C
- (void)adsManager:(nonnull IMAAdsManager *)adsManager
adDidBufferToMediaTime:(NSTimeInterval)mediaTime;
Parameters
adsManager
|
the IMAAdsManager tracking the ad’s media buffer
|
mediaTime
|
the current buffered media time in seconds
