I made a simple app and added inside it an ad but it doesn't show up in the device.
and there is no errors in my code:
xml page:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
>
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/libs/com.google.ads"
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="66dp"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="ad_ip" >
</com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
</RelativeLayout>
manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" ></uses-permission>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="4.3.23" />
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
I think the problem is here
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/libs/com.google.ads"
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="66dp"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="ad_ip" >
1) The xmlns attribute should be like this and in my case I have placed in the root tag of xml file.
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
2) Check, you have given the actual adUnitId from admob account.
Hope this will help you, if any further problems, you can ask.
At the beginning I had made the same mistake, I only used the xml file and didn´t load the view in my Activity. So just put this inisde the activity:
AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
You are importing the wrong xmlns
attribute inside your adview (it refers to legacy admob):
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/libs/com.google.ads"
you should only use the following which refers to Google Play Admob:
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
==> remove the wrong xmlns
attribute
Try this
XML:
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/ad"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="66dp"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="your key ID"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>
Add following code in your manifest:
<activity
android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
Hope this will help you..
