not enough space for admob ads

Question

I understand the issue that there isn't enough space to show the ad but I don't know how to fix it. I am guessing that something is using up too much space but I'm not sure exactly what it is. I am specifically referring to the admob ad not amazon ad.

This is the logcat:

08-13 19:09:42.972: ERROR/Ads(891): Not enough space to show ad! Wants: <480, 75>, Has: <432, 610>
08-13 19:09:42.972: ERROR/Ads(891): Not enough space to show ad! Wants: <480, 75>, Has: <432, 97>

This is my xml file:

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

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

Answer 1

just remove

   android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
   android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
   android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
   android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

from relative layout and your problem is solved

Answer 2

You have configured the enclosing RelativeLayout with

android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

this will reduce the amount of horizontal space available to your AdView. Remove these and it should work.
