// The view that displays banner ads.  A minimum implementation to get an ad

// from within a UIViewController class is:

//

//   // Place an ad at the top of the screen of an iPhone/iPod Touch.

//   CGRect adFrame = CGRectZero;

//   adFrame.size = GAD_SIZE_320x50;

//

//   // Create and setup the ad view.

//   GADBannerView *adView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithFrame:adFrame];

//   adView.rootViewController = self;

//   adView.adUnitID = @"ID created when registering my app";

//

//   // Place the ad view onto the screen.

//   [self.view addSubview:adView];

//   [adView release];

//

//   // Request an ad without any additional targeting information.

//   [adView loadRequest:nil];

I'm trying to do this (new Admob code right above) in the original code, but there seems to be an incompatiblity. The new version uses UIViewController, but the older version of Admobs uses UIView to display the ad. Is there a way to convert UIViewController to UIView?


The first two files shown above are where the older version of Admobs is implemented in the original code.


Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to convert UIViewController to UIView?

The fact that you would ask this question shows that you don't understand the important difference between the two. I'd suggest you go learn more about how they differ.
