Can't add ads to my app.

admob, android, banner, google-play-services

Solution

You can use layout to show your add. Just put below code in your layout where ever you want into the screen.

     <com.google.ads.AdView
            android:id="@+id/ad"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
            ads:adUnitId="Your AddMob ID"
            ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
            ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR,TEST_DEVICE_ID_GOES_HERE" />  
    </RelativeLayout>

You should have the newest GoogleAdmobSdk.jar in you libs folder. This is working for me.

Problem

So I followed this guide from admob with Google Play Services, https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/fundamentals#play And I have encountered a problem. The code they provided on their website is not working.I get errors. ``` package puske.com; import com.google.android.gms.ads.*; import com.google.ads.AdSize; import com.google.ads.AdView; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.RelativeLayout; public class Menu extends Activity { private AdView adView; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.menu); // Create the adView. adView = new AdView(this); adView.setAdUnitId(MY_AD_UNIT_ID); adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER); // Lookup your LinearLayout assuming it's been given // the attribute android:id="@+id/mainLayout". RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.menuz); // Add the adView to it. layout.addView(adView); // Initiate a generic request. AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build(); // Load the adView with the ad request. adView.loadAd(adRequest); ``` I get error on `adView = new AdView(this);` the Constructor AdView(Menu) is undefined. ``` adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER); the Method setAdSize is undefined for the type AdView ``` And `adView.loadAd(adRequest);` The method load.ad(adRequest) in the type AdView is not applicable for the arguments (AdRequest) I added https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/?hl=en_US as said in guide, and still doesn't work. http://prntscr.com/2o6vo4
