AdMob AdView and ViewPager?

Solution

OK, you have a couple of problems.

- orientation is only relevant for a LinearLayout.

- layout_alignParentBottom needs a boolean value not "top"

- layout_weight is only relevant for a LinearLayout nor RelativeLayout

You have 2 options. Use a RelativeLayout but define the AdView first with the ViewPager being defined as above it OR use a LinearLayout and have the ViewPager fill the unused space using layout_weight.

As RelativeLayout

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
>

<com.google.ads.AdView
    android:id="@+id/ad"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    ads:adSize="BANNER"
    ads:adUnitId="@string/admob_publisher_id"
    ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" />

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_above="@+id/ad"
    />

</RelativeLayout>

OR as LinearLayout

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"/>

<com.google.ads.AdView
    android:id="@+id/ad"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ads:adSize="BANNER"
    ads:adUnitId="@string/admob_publisher_id"
    ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" />

</LinearLayout>

Personally I'd go with the LinearLayout it feels simpler.

Problem

I have Android application with ViewPager implemented like this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6_1KznO95A I don't know how to implement AdView below the ViewPager. I have tried to put AdView below the ViewPager programmatically and in xml. There is no errors but ads are not showing. My xml: ``` <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="@+id/pager" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_alignParentBottom="top" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1"/> <com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/ad" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_below="@+id/pager" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="@string/admob_publisher_id" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" > </com.google.ads.AdView> ```
