Destroy vs Hide banner

[takhimi]

Hi. May I know what is the different between destroy and hide banner ? Usually I will just show the banner ads in menu screens and I will hide the banner when in game screen and show it again in game over screen,

Which should I use ? hide banner or destroy banner ? What is the different between the two ?

Thanks

Hi, the difference between Destroy and Hide is:

Destroy: will completely destroy the application's ad Banner, in other words the ad will no longer display and exist and you will need to call again the method load_banner()
Hide: will only hide the ad Banner so you can Show the banner instantly, without needing call load_banner()

You can use destroy_banner() if you prefer a greater performance gain (I believe the gain is very little, but depending on the cell phone it can be a good gain) and also don't have problem if it takes a few seconds for the Banner to appear again.

You can use hide_banner() if you prefer the banner to appear instantly and if it is loaded previously, use show_banner() to appear (load_banner() needs to be called beforehand)

---

Preferably I always use destroy_banner(), as I have no problem waiting a few seconds for the banner to appear again. But you can use whichever you like.
