Making AdMob work on Android 2.3 device?

问题:

Ok so I've read a lot of articles, questions and answers but still can't find one that works for me...

I'm trying to show an AdMob banner in an Android app. I'm using Eclipse and the latest AdMob SDK (4.3.1), which requires Android 3.2 (13) to work. Thing is, my test device is only 2.3.3 (10).

The best I've got so far is the app compiling against Android 2.3.3, running on the device, and a banner showing up but with this message: You must have AdActivity declared in AndroidManifest.xml with configChanges...

In this case, the configChanges attributes is set to "keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" If I change it for the "full" version (with the addition of "|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"), it doesn't compile anymore, as these params require Android 3.2.

--

I've read that it is possible to compile against Android SDK 13 while keeping 10 as the minSdkVersion. I've tried that, the configChanges attribute is now full and does not generate an error, but Eclipse now shows my device as not compatible with 3.2, and the app crashes if I run it anyway.

But obviously people seem to get AdMob working on older devices, no? So, how?

If AdMob 4.3.1 requires at least Android 3.2 no matter what, is there an older version that's compatible with 2.3?

I'm really confused here... Thanks to anyone who will be able to shed some light on this.

回答1:

    <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation">
    </activity>

works for me with admob 4.1.1, haven't tried 4.3.1 yet.

Set `android:targetSdkVersion to 13 and android:minSdkVersion to 3 then the adMob will run on all devices equal and greater than 1.5
