Hide iAds on iPhone when there is no network connection

Question

Hey All, I am trying to include iAds in my app. It works fine when there is network connection but the iAds doesn't hide when the network is not available..please find the code below and help me..thanks for your time..

I included this code in viewDidLoad

static NSString * const kADBannerViewClass = @"ADBannerView";
  if (NSClassFromString(kADBannerViewClass) != nil) {
   if (self.adView == nil) {
    self.adView = [[[ADBannerView alloc] init] autorelease];
    self.adView.delegate = self;
    self.adView.frame = CGRectMake(0,355,320,60);
    self.adView.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier320x50;
   }
  }
  [self.view addSubview:self.adView];

Delegate methods:

- (void)bannerViewDidLoadAd:(ADBannerView *)banner
{
 if (!self.bannerIsVisible) {
  [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
  banner.frame = CGRectOffset(banner.frame, 0,10);
  [UIView commitAnimations];
  self.bannerIsVisible = YES;
 }
}

- (void)bannerView:(ADBannerView *)banner didFailToReceiveAdWithError:(NSError *)error
{
 if (self.bannerIsVisible) {
  [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
  banner.frame = CGRectOffset(banner.frame, 0, -10);
  [UIView commitAnimations];
  self.bannerIsVisible = NO;
  NSLog(@"%@",error);
 }
}

If I understand your code correctly, you are initially showing the banner. That is not correct. It is better to initially move the banner off-screen and then only move it on-screen when you receive bannerViewDidLoadAd: and back off-screen when you receive bannerView:didFailToReceiveAdWithError:.

This also has the advantage that your banner view does not initially show up empty. Which can happen if there is a slow network connection.
