how to Put add in our android application

I have created an application for admob, but I am getting an error. I found an example from Google and I have tried it, but there is a problem when I'm launching the application .

I'm using Android 2.2 API 8. I am able to launch the application, but this block is causing an error.

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

If I change this to

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden"

then I am able to launch the application, but there is an error coming on our add field.

you must have adactivity declare in Android Manfiest.xml with config change

Due to this I am not able to show google adds in our application.

Please help me to fix this.

 - AdActivity.java

package com.android.ads;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

import com.google.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.ads.AdView;

public class AdsActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);


        AdView adview = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
        AdRequest re = new AdRequest();
        re.setTesting(true);
        re.setGender(AdRequest.Gender.FEMALE);
        adview.loadAd(re);
    }
}

 - main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.ads"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />

     <com.google.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="Your adunit ID" 
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>    
</LinearLayout>

Remember Put GoogleMapAdmobSdk.jar after creating libs folder for Configure build path 


Create the attrs.xml in the Values folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <declare-styleable name="com.google.ads.AdView">
      <attr name="adSize">
          <enum name="BANNER" value="1"/>
          <enum name="IAB_MRECT" value="2"/>
          <enum name="IAB_BANNER" value="3"/>
          <enum name="IAB_LEADERBOARD" value="4"/>
      </attr>
      <attr name="adUnitId" format="string"/>
  </declare-styleable>
</resources>

 - AndroidManifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.android.ads"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".AdsActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <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"/>
    </application>

</manifest>

I guess you just have to follow this tutorial.

And escpecially your problem should be about this lines:

The Google AdMob Ads SDK for Android requires Android 1.5 or later. Make sure you have the latest copy of the Android SDK and that you're compiling against at least Android v3.2 (set target in default.properties to android-13).

that means that minSDK can be down to 1.5 but you have to compile on 3.2 at least.

from AdMob documentation

you need to add the entire activity tag to AndroidManifest.xml

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

see https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/android/fundamentals
