SASMediationNativeAdAdapter

Objective-C

@protocol SASMediationNativeAdAdapter <NSObject>

Swift

protocol SASMediationNativeAdAdapter : NSObjectProtocol

Protocol that must be implemented by mediation adapters that load and return native ads.

  • Initialize a new instance of the native ad adapter with an adapter delegate.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nonnull instancetype)initWithDelegate:
    (nonnull id<SASMediationNativeAdAdapterDelegate>)delegate;

    Swift

    init(delegate: SASMediationNativeAdAdapterDelegate)

    Parameters

    delegate

    An instance of the delegate you will use to provide information to Smart SDK.

    Return Value

    An initialized instance of the native ad adapter.

  • Requests a mediated native ad asynchronously.

    Use the delegate provided in the init method to inform the SDK about the loading status of the ad.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)requestNativeAdWithServerParameterString:
            (nonnull NSString *)serverParameterString
                                clientParameters:
                                    (nonnull NSDictionary *)clientParameters;

    Swift

    func requestNativeAd(withServerParameterString serverParameterString: String, clientParameters: [AnyHashable : Any])

    Parameters

    serverParameterString

    A string containing all needed parameters (as returned by Smart ad delivery) to make the mediation ad call.
    clientParameters

    Additional client-side parameters (see SASMediationAdapterConstants.h for an exhaustive list).

  • This method is called to tell the adapter to register a view (or several views) as tappable.

    When native ad information are provided to the application, they will be displayed on one or several views by the app developer, then registered with the Smart SDK. In case of a mediation native ad, this registering process is the responsability of the adapter.

    The adapter will receive a main view that should be registered, some additional views that should also respond to tap events (these views are optional), a dictionary that can contains some particular views that you might want to override (like a media view or an ad choice button).

    The impression will be counted by the Smart SDK as soon as this method is called.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)registerView:(nonnull UIView *)view
         tappableViews:(nullable NSArray *)tappableViews
      overridableViews:(nonnull NSDictionary *)overridableViews
    fromViewController:(nonnull UIViewController *)viewController;

    Swift

    func register(_ view: UIView, tappableViews: [Any]?, overridableViews: [AnyHashable : Any], from viewController: UIViewController)

    Parameters

    view

    The main view that should react to touch events.
    tappableViews

    Optional views that should also react to touch events
    overridableViews

    A dictionary of views that you might want to override with the one provided by the third party SDK (see SASMediationAdapterConstants.h for an exhaustive list).
    viewController

    The view controller from which the views are displayed.

  • This method is called when the adapter should unregister views that have been registered previously.

    Note

    This method might be called before the registerView:tappableViews:overridableViews:fromViewController: is called. In this case, there isn’t anything to do.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)unregisterViews;

    Swift

    func unregisterViews()

  • Request the URL that should be used when the ‘Ad Choices’ button is tapped.

    Warning

    If you return nil, the button might still be visible in the view hierarchy (but it will do nothing). It’s up to your adapter to hide it or replace it by something else in the registerView:tappableViews:overridableViews:fromViewController: method (if available, the button view will be found in the ‘overridableViews’ dictionary).

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nullable NSURL *)adChoicesURL;

    Swift

    func adChoicesURL() -> URL?

    Return Value

    The URL that should be used when the ‘Ad Choices’ button is tapped, or nil if you want to handle the button yourself.

  • Return whether the currently loaded native ad has a video media or not.

    Note

    There is two way for the third party SDK to handle media. This first one is to simply returns the video URL (and tracking pixels if any) in the SASMediationNativeAdInfo object and let the Smart SDK handles everything, the second one is to instantiate a view and display the video. For both cases, this method must return YES.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (BOOL)hasMedia;

    Swift

    func hasMedia() -> Bool

    Return Value

    YES if the currently loaded native ad has a video media, NO otherwise.

  • Return the media view used for the third party SDK to renders the video media (if any).

    Note

    There is two way for the third party SDK to handle media. This first one is to simply returns the video URL (and tracking pixels if any) in the SASMediationNativeAdInfo object and let the Smart SDK handles everything, the second one is to instantiate a view and display the video. If you want to let the Smart SDK handles the media, you must return nil.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nullable UIView *)mediaView;

    Swift

    func mediaView() -> UIView?

    Return Value

    The media view used for the third party SDK to renders the video media (if any), nil otherwise.
