AdMob integration destorts the Hello World Label text - objective-c

Question

I have created a simple hello world project for cocos2d-x 3.2. Added AdMob banner. The essence of adding banner is to create a view, then add into that view first the cocos2d-x content and then banner content:
UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self addChildViewController:_contentController];
[contentView addSubview:_contentController.view];
[_contentController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
[contentView addSubview:_bannerView];
self.view = contentView;
The result is that on iPhone, iPhone Retina, iPad Retina (but not in iPad) the Hello World text is distorted like this:
At the same time that stats text is not distorted:
I cannot understand what happens and why. Here is my full code:
.hfile
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface BannerViewController : UIViewController
- (instancetype)initWithContentViewController:(UIViewController *)contentController;
- (void) hideBanner;
- (void) showBanner;
#end
and hers is .mm file
#import "BannerViewController.h"
#import "GADBannerView.h"
#interface BannerViewController () <GADBannerViewDelegate>
#end
#implementation BannerViewController {
GADBannerView *_bannerView;
UIViewController *_contentController;
Boolean _bannerLoaded;
}
- (instancetype)initWithContentViewController:(UIViewController *)contentController
{
self = [super init];
if (self != nil) {
// use kGADAdSizeBanner for a small banner in iPad
_bannerView = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize: kGADAdSizeSmartBannerPortrait]; // scaled banner dependent on device size
_bannerView.adUnitID = #"ca-app-pub-874958723945898/8247587858";
_bannerView.delegate = self;
_contentController = contentController;
_bannerLoaded = NO;
}
return self;
}
- (void)loadView
{
UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self addChildViewController:_contentController];
[contentView addSubview:_contentController.view];
[_contentController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
[contentView addSubview:_bannerView];
self.view = contentView;
}
#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED < __IPHONE_6_0
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return [_contentController shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation];
}
#endif
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return [_contentController preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation];
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return [_contentController supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}
// For animation
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
CGRect contentFrame = self.view.bounds;
CGRect bannerFrame = CGRectZero;
#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED < __IPHONE_6_0
bannerFrame = _bannerView.frame;
#else
bannerFrame.size = [_bannerView sizeThatFits:contentFrame.size];
#endif
bannerFrame.origin.x = (contentFrame.size.width - bannerFrame.size.width) / 2;
if (_bannerLoaded) {
//contentFrame.size.height -= bannerFrame.size.height;
bannerFrame.origin.y = contentFrame.size.height - bannerFrame.size.height;
} else {
bannerFrame.origin.y = contentFrame.size.height;
}
_contentController.view.frame = contentFrame;
_bannerView.frame = bannerFrame;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
_bannerView.rootViewController = self;
[self.view addSubview:_bannerView];
GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
[_bannerView loadRequest:request];
}
- (void)adViewDidReceiveAd:(GADBannerView *)bannerView
{
NSLog(#"adViewDidReceiveAd");
_bannerLoaded = YES;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 animations:^{
[self.view setNeedsLayout];
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
- (void)adView:(GADBannerView *)view didFailToReceiveAdWithError:(GADRequestError *)error
{
NSLog(#"adView didFailToReceiveAdWithError");
_bannerLoaded = NO;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 animations:^{
[self.view setNeedsLayout];
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
- (void) hideBanner{
//TODO:
}
- (void) showBanner{
//TODO:
}
- (void)dealloc {
_bannerView.delegate = nil;
[_bannerView release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end
// </GADBannerViewDelegate>
And I use it in AppController.mm like this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
// Add the view controller's view to the window and display.
window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame: [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Init the CCEAGLView
CCEAGLView *eaglView = [CCEAGLView viewWithFrame: [window bounds]
pixelFormat: kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8
depthFormat: GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8_OES
preserveBackbuffer: NO
sharegroup: nil
multiSampling: NO
numberOfSamples: 0];
// Use RootViewController manage CCEAGLView
_viewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
_viewController.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
_viewController.view = eaglView;
_bannerViewController = [[BannerViewController alloc] initWithContentViewController:_viewController];
// Set RootViewController to window
if ( [[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] < 6.0)
{
// warning: addSubView doesn't work on iOS6
[window addSubview: _bannerViewController.view];
//[window addSubview: _viewController.view];
}
else
{
// use this method on ios6
[window setRootViewController:_bannerViewController];
// [window setRootViewController:_viewController];
}
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:true];
// IMPORTANT: Setting the GLView should be done after creating the RootViewController
cocos2d::GLView *glview = cocos2d::GLView::createWithEAGLView(eaglView);
cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->setOpenGLView(glview);
cocos2d::Application::getInstance()->run();
return YES;
}
What is wrong here?

Answer 1

I have found the problem. I appears that there is a time in hours written with black color like in the image, which on on the Hello World label and hence it distorts:
The time is shown is simulators status bar. In order to hide it I added this:
//fix not hide status on ios7
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
into BannerViewController class and that's it!
