Android - AdMob Exception - Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

I am getting the below exception when running an android application with AdMob I tried different ideas given by other people for the same type of error but still its not working. So I creating a new question.

Also this project was created using cordova and project structure is as this image.

I am using below Environments

JDK 8

Google Play Service - 19

Below jars are inside the lib directory

android-support-v4.jar google-play-services.jar

Java Code with Main Activity

 package com.aotsinc.games.android.c2c.bible;

import org.apache.cordova.CordovaActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

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


public class Clues2BibleCharacter extends CordovaActivity {
    private static final String AdMob_Ad_Unit = "a150e3af6a308da";
    private AdView adView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        adView = new AdView(this);
        adView.setAdUnitId(AdMob_Ad_Unit);
        adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);

        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
        layout.addView(adView);

        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
            .addTestDevice("INSERT_YOUR_HASHED_DEVICE_ID_HERE")
            .build();

        adView.loadAd(adRequest);

        this.setIntegerProperty("loadUrlTimeoutValue", 70000);
        super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.screen);
        loadUrl(launchUrl);
    }

Instead of putting xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" in the Linear Layout tag, put it in <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView tag. as shown below: 

 <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView 
         xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
         android:id="@+id/adView"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         ads:adUnitId="a150e3af6a308da"
         ads:adSize="BANNER"
         ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" />

Don't put google-play-services.jar in the /libs/ folder. Instead, reference the google play services library in your project.

Import the library into your workspace. You'll find it in sdk/extras/google/.. if you downloaded via the sdk manager. Then reference by right clicking your project => selecting properties => Android => Add

Also, in your layout, change the xml namespace:

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"

to: xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Update:

The activity and meta-data declaration should be within the <application> tag and not outside. So modify your manifest as follows:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="0.0.1" package="com.aotsinc.games.android.c2c.bible" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:resizeable="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
    <application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale" android:label="@string/activity_name" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="Clues2BibleCharacter" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
            <intent-filter android:label="@string/launcher_name">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity" />
        <activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
        <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="4452000" />
    </application>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
</manifest>
