Here is the manifest thread

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/schoolbus"
    android:label="The Back To School Zone" >



    <!--*************************************************  -->
    <!--*************************************************  -->
    <!--******  starting the ACTIVITIES classes  ********  -->
    <!--*************************************************  -->
    <!--*************************************************  -->





    <activity
        android:name=".mainMenu"
        android:label="The Back To School Zone"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>


     <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
         android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize">

     </activity>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

or is it the billing permissions that is causing the thread to fail? I cant seem to figure out why this is not launching?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I suspect your problem is that yoyu have not fully qualified the name of your launching Activity

<activity
        android:name=".mainMenu"

Android would normally pick the package up from the Manifest element, but you didn't post that so it's hard to be 100% sure. But from what you have posted it would seem it has nothing to do with Admob.
