Answer 1

i had the same problem with NativeExpressAdView. If you add padding or margin to your layout, I think, it's not a good idea to fix the ad's size width. I sugger to do in programmatically

1. First step : get the dp size of screen witdh

   
   
   DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
               //float dpHeight = displayMetrics.heightPixels / displayMetrics.density;
                dpWidth = displayMetrics.widthPixels / displayMetrics.density;

2. Second step:

mAdView.setAdSize(new AdSize((int) dpWidth, 150));

Answer 2

to show ads inside relative layout you can follow this design

<RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutpopular"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_above="@+id/bottomBar"
        android:layout_below="@+id/relativeLayoutadd"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        >
            <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingTop="3dp">
         <com.google.ads.AdView
             xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
             android:id="@+id/adView"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.9"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
            android:background="#2d2f2f"
            ads:adUnitId="admobId" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

Answer 3

The left and right padding of your RelativeLayout is consuming space required by your AdView.

Change RelativeLayout config to :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 ...
 android:paddingLeft="0dp"
 android:paddingRight="0dp"
 ...
>

You probably also want to change your AdView config to:

<com.google.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adMobadView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ...
        />

as you don't really want your AdView to consume the entire screen.

Answer 4

Simply set the margins to 0dp in res->values->dimens.xml

<dimen name="activity_horizontal_margin">0dp</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">0dp</dimen>

Answer 5

Check the dimensions of the screen and the paddings, and see if it actualy fits.

Also, try to change the Adview to this:

    <com.google.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adMobadView"
        android:layout_width="320dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="@string/admobid"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" />
