Admob Interstitial orientation is locked to the initial device orientation on startup

I'm having a problem integrating Admob interstitial ads. My app supports both portrait AND landscape orientation, and as such I have set the manifest to:

android:screenOrientation="fullSensor"

The problem is that the Admob interstitial appears to be fixed/locked to the original orientation of the device on start up. E.g. if I start the app in portrait orientation, and then rotate the device to landscape, then show an ad, then it appears on its side (in portrait orientation)...

How can I force the interstitial to reset to the new device orientation?

I am loading the ad like this:

interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(activity);
interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(Config.ADMOB_UNIT_ID);

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

interstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);

and then showing it like this:

interstitialAd.show();

I fixed this. In the end it came down to re-requesting the ad on orientation change, and importantly, running that request in the UI thread.

Are you looking for SMART_BANNER??

Use it as:

<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="SMART_BANNER"
            ads:adUnitId="XXXXX">
    </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
