Error inflating class com.google.ads.AdView (Infla

Question

I am trying to show a adview in my android application, but it shows an InflateException. This terminates the app and I cannot do anything.

Here is my logcat -

Answer 1

The same error appears to me and i solved with few simple steps.

You need to remove the appcombat dependency from your project. For removing right click your project->android->remove app combat and make sure you have selected android 4.2.2

And then import the google admob jar into your project.

Answer 2

You need to put the admob jar into the libs folder of your project.
