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. Th

Answer 1

Use

AdRequest.Builder adRequestBuilder = new AdRequest.Builder();
adView.loadAd(adRequestBuilder.build());

EDIT:

Remove

setContentView(R.layout.menu);

add behind loadAd()

setContentView(layout);

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Try to add directly at the import area the following lines

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdSize;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

If you are migrating to new way of use addMob don`t forget to remove the old library.

Answer 4

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdSize;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

AND adding following into layout:

<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" /> 

works

Answer 5

Remove any other ad sdk(in my case it was adfonic) from your project as there is a conflict and try. Happy Coding :)
