AdView - Missing adActivity with android:configChanges in AndroidManifest.xml

android xml admob logcat

You need to leave the meta-data tag as is:

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Additionaly, you need to replace this tag:

    <activity
        android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

With this (as suggested in the answer you linked):

    <activity
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

Since you are using the Google Play Services and not the legacy AdMob SDK you need to replace the name of the activity class from com.google.ads.AdActivity to com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity

Solution 2

This may be part of the problem. It seems you are missing....

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

in you AndroidManifest.xml

Solution 3

Make sure you only have the Google Play Services library included and not both Google Play Services and Admob SDK.

It looks like the value of @integer/google_play_services_version is zero. Are the Google Play Services resources being included in your app?

Solution 4

if you are using unity you should use this.

 <!-- Google Mobile Ads Permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

    I just set up my app with the Google Play library method of adding adds (AdMob). When I run the emulator the add has the error message:

    Missing adActivity with android:configChanges in AndroidManifest.xml

    I located a fix at:

    Missing adActivity with android:configChanges in AndroidManifest.xml

    The fix stated to do the following:

    "com.google.ads.AdActivity" is declared when using the admob sdk jar in the "libs" folder. >It seems you're using admob via the google play services library so change:

    activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"

    To

    activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"

    Also make sure you add the meta-data tag:

    I tried this and the CatLog said to change the meta tag back to:

        <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
