AdMob in a fragment

Question

I'm inserting an AdMob in my application. but I have a problem about it.

when I inserted some codes about it in Eclipse, I can see an error message about "the constructor AdRequest() is not visible " in a fragment_03 and "error: Error parsing XML : unbound prefix" from "

so I attached source for the AdMob as follows.

Can you give me an advice ?

Let me know if you have any question.

Thanks

• fragment_03.java

  import com.google.ads.AdRequest;
  import com.google.ads.AdView;
  
  public class Fragment_03 extends Fragment {
  
  private AdView adView;
  private AdRequest adRequest;
  
  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
      Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_03, container, false);
  
      adRequest = new AdRequest();
      adView = (AdView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.fragment_03_admob);
      adView.loadAd(adRequest);
  
      return rootView;
      }
  }
  

• fragment_03.xml

  <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"

Solution

Change your layout in this way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <com.google.android.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/fragment_03_admob"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:adSize="BANNER"
        app:adUnitId="@string/activity_admobID"
        app:loadAdOnCreate="true"
        app:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID" />

</LinearLayout>

You was using a wrong namespace declaration.
