Display banner ads

To display banner ads, you need to create banner instances and allow TVSDK to listen for ad-related events.

TVSDK provides a list of companion banner ads that are associated with a linear ad through the AdPlaybackEventListener.onAdBreakStart event.

Manifests can specify companion banner ads by:

• An HTML snippet
• The URL of an iFrame page
• The URL of a static image or an Adobe Flash SWF file

For each companion ad, TVSDK indicates which types are available for your application.

1. Add a listener for the AdPlaybackEventListener.onAdBreakStart event that does the following:

   • Clears existing ads in the banner instance.

   • Gets the list of companion ads from Ad.getCompanionAssets.

   • If the list of companion ads is not empty, iterate over the list for banner instances.

     Each banner instance (an AdAsset) contains information, such as width, height, resource type (html, iframe, or static), and data that is required to display the companion banner.

   • If a video ad has no companion ads booked with it, the list of companion assets contains no data for that video ad.

   • To show a standalone display ad, add the logic to your script to run a normal DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) display ad tag in the appropriate banner instance.

   • Sends the banner information to a function on your page that displays the banners in an appropriate location.

     This is usually a div, and your function uses the div ID to display the banner.
