In the preview tutorial I explained how to add AdMob to your project, but we created the AdView in Java. So in this tutorial I will show you how to set it up in XML. Actually it's more simple this way, at least in my opinion :)

1. Create a new project (or use an existing one if you want to)
2. Go to res - layout - main.xml and change the LinearLayout to RelativeLayout (for simplicity...I used RelativeLayout and it's better for you to do the same so as not to become confused). This time I made the ad to be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
3. In the RelativeLayout add this code just after before the android:layout_width:






Now you have to introduce this code just before the RelativeLayout tag is closed:
?



<com.google.ads.AdView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                           android:id="@+id/adMob"
                           android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                           ads:adUnitId="YOUR AdMob publisher ID"
                           ads:adSize="BANNER"/>







Your entire main.xml should look like this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/main_layout"> <com.google.ads.AdView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/adMob" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" ads:adUnitId="YOUR AdMob publisher ID" ads:adSize="BANNER"/> </RelativeLayout>







Now in the the activity class you must have this:




import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import com.google.ads.AdRequest; import com.google.ads.AdView;   public class MyActivity extends Activity{       AdView adView;       @Override     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)     {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);           setContentView(R.layout.main);           //request TEST ads to avoid being disabled for clicking your own ads         AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();           //test mode on EMULATOR         adRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);                  //test mode on DEVICE (this example code must be replaced with your device uniquq ID)         adRequest.addTestDevice("4G74FC73D62D42B62A7F7DA61EF5F776");           adView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.adMob);                // Initiate a request to load an ad in test mode.         // You can keep this even when you release your app on the market, because         // only emulators and your test device will get test ads. The user will receive real ads.         adView.loadAd(adRequest);                 }         @Override     public void onDestroy() {         if (adView != null) {             adView.destroy();         }         super.onDestroy();     } }




                                                     

                                                      Now the result should be like this:
