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 - 05-06 14:09:09.428: E/AndroidRuntime(928): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 05-06 14:09:09.428: E/AndroidRuntime(928): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.kodspider.parkon/com.kodspider.parkon.HomeActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #18: Error inflating class com.google.ads.AdView 05-06 14:09:09.428: E/AndroidRuntime(928): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity

trying to display Google map using a fragment. Used the following page as a tutorial.
