Try this version. I took out some unnecessary attributes, aligned the AdMob ad to the top of the screen, and set the video to be below the ad via the android:layout_above attribute.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.gallery.video"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

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

    <VideoView android:id="@+id/VideoView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_above="@id/adView" />
</RelativeLayout>

You should add the property android:layout_weight="1" to VideoView tag. See following code:

<VideoView android:id="@+id/VideoView"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
             android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
             android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
             android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
             android:layout_height="fill_parent"
             android:layout_weight="1">
    </VideoView>

I hope this maybe help you.
