How to properly hide an Admob Banner Ad

I have a banner ad in my trivia game like so:

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

And I want to only show it every 5 questions. What is the proper way to hide the ad? If I simply set adView.setVisibility(View.GONE), is this correct? The reason I ask is because I'm not sure if ads will continue to load/give credit when the AdView is not visible. Thanks!

Typically you won't get credit for having it as hidden. They will still load, but it was answered in one of Googles Q+As that you will not be getting credit for ads not seen by the end user.

Obviously from a financial point of view that makes sense. In your case, what you are doing is correct, but you won't get credit on the 4 questions in between in which the ad is hidden.
