###Hiding your banner You can hide and show your banner in run time, using ``showBanner()`` and ``hideBanner()`` methods: ```objectivec startAppBanner!.showBanner() startAppBanner!.hideBanner() ```

###Controlling the size of your banner The size of the banner is determined by the "size" parameter which can receive one of the following values
Value Size Best fits for
STA_AutoAdSize Auto-size (recommended) detects the width of the device's screen in its current orientation, and provides the optimal banner for this size
STA_PortraitAdSize_320x50 320x50 iPhone/iPod touch in portrait mode
STA_LandscapeAdSize_480x50 480x50 iPhone/iPod touch in landscape mode
STA_PortraitAdSize_768x90 768x90 iPad in portrait mode
STA_LandscapeAdSize_1024x90 1024x90 iPad in landscape mode

###Using banner delegates Set your view controller as a delegate so it is able to receive callbacks from the banner ad.
  1. Add the STABannerDelegagteProtocol to the class declaration
class ViewController: UIViewController, STABannerDelegagteProtocol
  1. Use withDelegate:self when initializing the STABannerView object:
startAppBanner = STABannerView(size: STA_AutoAdSize, 
                              autoOrigin: STAAdOrigin_Bottom, 
                              withView: self.view, 
                              withDelegate: self);
  1. Implement the following functions:
func didDisplayBannerAd(banner: STABannerView)
func failedLoadBannerAd(banner: STABannerView,  withError error: NSError)    
func didClickBannerAd(banner: STABannerView)

###Using a fixed origin for your banner If you choose to locate the banner in a fixed origin rather than the view's top or bottom, simply pass the required origin point (x,y) upon initialization as explain in the following example

Locating your banner 100 pixels above the view's bottom:

startAppBanner = STABannerView(size: STA_AutoAdSize, 
                               origin: CGPointMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height - 100), 
                               withView: self.view, 
                               withDelegate: nil)

To use a different banner origin in a specific layout, call the "setOrigin"/"setSTAAutoOrigin" with the new origin value.

###Changing the banner size and origin upon rotation If you choose to manually control the banner's size & origin upon rotation, you can do it in the didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation method.

Example:

override func didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation(fromInterfaceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientation) {
 startAppBanner!.didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation(fromInterfaceOrientation)

   if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(self.interfaceOrientation)) {
      startAppBanner!.setOrigin(CGPointMake(0, 0))
      } else {
      startAppBanner!.setOrigin(CGPointMake(0, 200))
      }
   super.didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation(fromInterfaceOrientation)
   }

###Using Interstitial delegates Set your view controller as a delegate so it is able to receive callbacks from the interstitial ad
  1. Add the STADelegateProtocol to the class declaration
class ViewController: UIViewController, STADelegateProtocol
  1. Use "withDelegate:self" when calling the loadAd function: startAppAd!.loadAd(STAAdType_Automatic, withDelegate: self)

  2. Implement the following functions:

func didLoadAd(ad: STAAbstractAd) 
func failedLoadAd(ad: STAAbstractAd, withError error: NSError)
func didShowAd(ad: STAAbstractAd)
func failedShowAd(ad: STAAbstractAd, withError error: NSError)
func didCloseAd(ad: STAAbstractAd)

##Customizing your Splash Screen You can customize the appearance of your splash screen using the ``STASplashPreferences`` object, as describes below. In order to use splash preferences, use the ``showSplashAdWithPreferences`` method when initializing the splash screen in your _AppDelegate_ class.

For example - using splash preferences to choose template mode:

var splashPreferences: STASplashPreferences = STASplashPreferences()
splashPreferences.splashMode = STASplashModeTemplate
sdk.showSplashAdWithPreferences(splashPreferences)

###Splash Preferences API The following API describes all customization options available for the splash screen.

####►Splash screen mode Decide whether to use user-defined or template mode.

Parameter: splashMode

Values:
STASplashModeUserDefined
STASplashModeTemplate

Usage:
splashPreferences.splashMode = STASplashModeTemplate

####►Change splash image (for user-defined mode) Change the splash screen image, instead of using the default one.

Parameter: splashUserDefinedImageName

Usage:
splashPreferences.splashUserDefinedImageName = "MyImage"

####►Choosing splash template (for template mode) Choose of of 6 pre-designed templates.

Parameter: splashTemplateTheme

Values:
STASplashTemplateThemeDeepBlue
STASplashTemplateThemeSky
STASplashTemplateThemeAshenSky
STASplashTemplateThemeBlaze
STASplashTemplateThemeGloomy
STASplashTemplateThemeOcean

Usage:
splashPreferences.splashTemplateTheme = STASplashTemplateThemeBlaze

####►Changing template's icon and title (for template mode) The SDK uses your default application's name and icon. You can choose however to use your own assets.

Parameters:
splashTemplateIconImageName
splashTemplateAppName

Usage:

splashPreferences.splashTemplateIconImageName = "MyIcon"
splashPreferences.splashTemplateAppName = "MyAppName"

####►Enable/Disable loading indicator (for user-defined mode) Choose whether to display a loading indicator on the splash screen.

Parameter: isSplashLoadingIndicatorEnabled

Values:
YES
NO

Usage:
splashPreferences.isSplashLoadingIndicatorEnabled = true

####►Choose loading indicator's type (for user-defined and template modes) Choose which loading indicator type to display: iOS default activity indicator or a "dots" loading indicator

Parameter: splashLoadingIndicatorType

Values:
STASplashLoadingIndicatorTypeIOS
STASplashLoadingIndicatorTypeDots

Usage:
splashPreferences.splashLoadingIndicatorType = STASplashLoadingIndicatorTypeDots

####►Change loading indicator's position (for user-defined mode) The loading indicator is displayed by default on the center of the screen. You can choose however to set a custom position.

Parameter: splashLoadingIndicatorCenterPoint

Values:
CGPointMake(x, y)

Usage:
splashPreferences.splashLoadingIndicatorCenterPoint = CGPointMake(100, 100)

####►Force landscape orientation (for user-defined and template modes) The SDK display the splash screen using the orientation supported by the application and the device real orientation. If you choose however to force landscape orientation.

Parameter: isLandscape

Values:
YES
NO

Usage:
splashPreferences.isLandscape = true

###Showing banners in UITableView If you would like to load a banner into a UITableView instead of a general UIView, follow these instructions:
  1. Make sure that the size of your cell is at least as the size of the banner you would like to show
  2. Declare an STABannerView instance variable in your UITableView class
var startAppBanner: STABannerView?
  1. Override the cellForRowAtIndexPath function, and add the required code:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell? {
   
       let reuseIdentifier = "Cell"
   
       var cell:UITableViewCell? = tableView?.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(reuseIdentifier) as? UITableViewCell
       
       if !cell {
           cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
       }
   
       
       if (!startAppBanner) {
         startAppBanner = STABannerView(size: STA_AutoAdSize, autoOrigin: STAAdOrigin_Top, withView: cell, withDelegate: self)
       }
       
       startAppBanner!.addSTABannerToCell(cell, withIndexPath: indexPath, atIntexPathRow: 2, repeatEach: 8)
       
       cell!.textLabel.text = "some text"
       cell!.textLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor() 
   
       return cell
   }

Use the addSTABannerToCell method to set the banner's position and frequency:

  • atIntexPathRow - set the cell where you want to show the banner
  • repeatEach - set repetition frequency

In the above example, the banner will be displayed at the second cell, and will be repeated each 8 cells.
