How to prefetch MPU Banner Ads in UICollectionView [iOS Swift 4.2]

[Muralidharan K]

let bannerView = DFPBannerView(adSize: kGADAdSizeMediumRectangle)

I am using the above ad format in my collection view as one of the cells.

Whenever the user scrolls to the cell the ads load very slow.

I want to prefetch the ad and keep ready when he comes to the cell.

Could you please help me with the flow.

Hello there,

We do have a UITableView example using BannerAds. You should certainly be able to reuse this for UICollectionView as well.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Hi, I agree and I have already using the reusable identifier. My clarification is: How to prefetch the content and make the cell ready before the scrolls!

So when he comes to that cell by scrolling I should able to show the ad without any delay.

Thanks

Hello Murali,

You can always prefetch the ad and hold it onto a dictionary with the IndexPaths as key and either insert the ad if exists or show a request a new one and insert when visible to the user. Exempt the AdView from being reused via prepareForReuse() callback and maintain it outside the purview of the UICollectionViewCell. The sample app provided does guide you on this approach. Let us know if you need anything else
