The following classes could not be found: - com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

I get this error:

The following classes could not be found:
- com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

I have updated Google Play Services to Version 37 and Google Repository to Version 38.

Also in my MainActivity class in my OnCreate() method, I get Cannot resolve symbol 'MobileAds' error. I know it is caused by a missing an import, but I am not offered a class to import.

MobileAds.initialize(getApplicationContext(), "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713");

XML file:

In your gradle file add com.google.firebase:firebase-ads

dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

        compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.8.0'
    }

google updated(including Firebase and SDK) Mobile Ads in Google Mobile Ads SDK

Admobs now a part of Firebase SDK and Google Mobile Ads delivered by Google play services.It is no longer available in standalone SDK.

Reference link and Migrate from the Google project.
