The constructor AdRequest() is not visible

I'm trying to put some ad in my Android app, but I've a problem...

package com.dotgears.flappybird;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

import com.google.ads.*;


public class BannerSample extends Activity {
      private AdView adView;

      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // Create the adView
        adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "...");

        // Lookup your LinearLayout assuming it's been given
        // the attribute android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);

        // Add the adView to it
        layout.addView(adView);

        // Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad
        adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
      }

      @Override
      public void onDestroy() {
        if (adView != null) {
          adView.destroy();
        }
        super.onDestroy();
      }
    }

I followed the Google dev's istructions but on the line adView.loadAd(new AdRequest()); Eclipse says:

The constructor AdRequest() is not visible

Why isn't it visible? I searched everywhere but I didn't find anything.

Do it in this way 

AdRequest adreq=new AdRequest.Builder().build();
     adview.loadAd(adreq);

and it will work. also import it by using

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;

and it will start working
