Ad banner not showing

Question

I learned Adbanner from Admobs at this link https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start , but when I test my application on the device and the emulator, there is no advertising for Adbanner in my application

I got the following error in stacktrace

as I know from the use of the IDE (eclipse), this problem will occur, so I tested the game on my device, but the banner did not appear at the bottom of the layout

the red background was an image, and on a yellow background an ad unit was placed that adbanner should appear, but it doesn’t

I put this following code in my class as described in google admobs after the link above

 import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest; import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView; public class bplay extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener{ private AdView mBanner; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); setContentView(R.layout.bplay); mBanner = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView); AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build(); mBanner.loadAd(adRequest); 

Sorry, I did not put all my code because it is a lot and I do not use app compat in my project

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="16" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> <activity android:name=".Ablankscreen" android:screenOrientation="portrait"> <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" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" /> 

and in my xml layout I used linear layout

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_margin="3dp" android:background="@drawable/backgroundblankyellow" android:orientation="vertical" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/rulesimage" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:scaleType="fitXY" android:src="@drawable/playimage" android:visibility="visible" /> <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id" > </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView> </LinearLayout> 

UPDATED

I got this error in logcat, what does it mean?

 09-24 22:51:33.318: E/dalvikvm(24493): Could not find class 'com.google.android.gms.common.h.c', referenced from method com.google.android.gms.common.app.GmsApplication.onCreate 09-24 22:52:11.258: E/dalvikvm(25156): Could not find class 'com.google.android.gms.common.h.c', referenced from method com.google.android.gms.common.app.GmsApplication.onCreate 09-24 22:52:28.708: E/dalvikvm(25264): Could not find class 'com.google.android.gms.common.h.c', referenced from method com.google.android.gms.common.app.GmsApplication.onCreate 

Have I really missed something that made the banner not display?

Can someone help me fix this so that the banner appears? Thanks at Advance

Answer 1

This does not require much generosity.

First of all, copy the .jar file to the google play services project → libs folder and paste it into the folder with your projects.

right click on it and go to build path → add build path

Also, I assume that you exported your application correctly? well there is this taxing tool called Proguard google him- (it causes a lot of changes in your code)

find the file in your project called proguard-project.txt , open it and add

 -keep class com.google.android.gms.ads.** 

Answer 2

For testing, you should use the following device identifier. Paste it into your /strings.xml values

For banners:

 <string name="banner_ad_unit_id">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111</string> 

For advertisements, this is ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712 .

Also, make sure you update the Android support library from the SDK manager and enable the Services dependency in the application /build.gradle

 dependencies { ... compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.8.0' } 

Eclipse users, go to the Eclipse tab with the ADT tab in the official Google Dev documentation to find the steps to install the Services library of services.

Optionally, you can refer to the commit history of one of my Git repositories, which reduces the implementation of banners and interstitial ads.

Answer 3

if you don't have android studios just install google play service pakage from android sdk manager and then go to C:\Users\your_computer_name\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs here, when you find a jar, include this jar in your project, then try to run it. hope this helps you

Answer 4

According to your glass:

  at com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.internal.editors.layout.ProjectCallback.instantiateClass(ProjectCallback.java:442) at com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.internal.editors.layout.ProjectCallback.loadView(ProjectCallback.java:194) 

You are trying to do this from your development environment. It will never work. Deploy to the device.

Answer 5

Testing on the emulator for admob is not possible, because the emulator does not have Google Play services. Therefore, you should test it on a real device or use Jenny Motion Emulator and install Google Play services there. and here is an example of working code also see.

 <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" ads:adUnitId="Your Key " android:visibility="visible" />
