Question
Hi I was able to add the google adMob banner, and it displayed the error messages of the meta-data, when I ran the app it self, but once I did manage to solve those problems it does not show the google ad. It shows the banner however it is empty.
I have it set so that the adView is in a different layout to the background, and it shows when the screen is tapped. The problem is that when you tap the screen it shows a banner darker area, where the banner errors were being displayed (which I assume to be the GoogleAd banner) however it shows empty. So only the area of it is darkened but displaying nothing.
Here is my MigratorisActivity.java

Russianprotected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.migratoris_activity);
final View controlsView = findViewById(R.id.fullscreen_content_controls);
final View contentView = findViewById(R.id.GIFSingle);
// Create the adView.
adView = new AdView(this);
adView.setAdUnitId("a--------------");
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
// Lookup your LinearLayout assuming it's been given
// the attribute android:id="@+id/mainLayout".
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.fullscreen_content_controls);
// Add the adView to it.
layout.addView(adView);
// Initiate a generic request.
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
// Load the adView with the ad request.
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
This is my Manifest:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>
<activity
android:name="pt.quintas.migratoris.MigratorisActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/FullscreenTheme" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
</manifest>
Anyone have an idea why it shows but without an ad? could it be that I have the AdMob account set to test mode?
Thank you very much for your time, Pedro
Here is the Layout

I have tried to make the add work in the MainLayout and it worked I believe the problem is inflating it with the layout, it needs more space. here is the logg:

Solution
You are missing the com.google.ads.AdView in your XML file, try the following:
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="YOUR_ID"
ads:refreshInterval="NUMBER_UP_TO_YOU" >
</com.google.ads.AdView>
Let me know if this helps you or not.
OTHER TIPS
I suggest adding admob in the xml layout file without adding code to src files
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="YOUR_ID"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID" />
and add this at the beginning of your layout file
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
under
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
Try testing in real devices. The emulator that you are running might not have google play services
