Getting fatal exception thrown by admob

I have an application on the market using admob and now I would like to update my application. When I test this new version, I get a fatal exception thrown by admob.

04-06 15:09:04.123: E/AndroidRuntime(409): Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #51: Error inflating class com.google.ads.AdView


04-06 15:09:04.123: E/AndroidRuntime(409): Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.ads.AdView in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/com.kmbdev.purrkitty-2.apk]

Here is the xml file with line # 51:

  <com.google.ads.AdView
    android:id="@+id/adView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@id/bottom_border"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/right_border"
    ads:adSize="BANNER"
    ads:adUnitId="my id"
    ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" />

I have not made significant changes from the original published application. I only added splash screen and some language strings files and changed version to 1.2, published app is version 1.1. I was wondering why this application would no longer work.

I tried again, here is the log:

I have the same problem and took over 3 hours to figure it out. Finally I found a way to make it work.



  • change sdk name from GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.0.0.jar to GoogleAdMobAdsSdk.jar
  • create a "libs" folder in the project, copy the above sdk to the folder and link the library using Add External JARs.
  • If doesn't work, change the import class name from com.google.ads. * in com.google.ads.AdRequest, comp.google.ads.AdView, etc.

Are you sure you have all the tags in the manifest? (Greetings). Also, in XML, you need to have addl tag for xmlns right? Did you specify it?

Clean the project, and if you haven't enabled automatic build in Eclipse, build it manually. It will work.

To fix this problem, you just need to link the sdk.jar file in two ways. First, to add it to libs folder (if you don't have it, build it) and then right click on the .jar file, go to "Build Path" -> "Add to Build Path" ... Three days prior to this conclusion,

I fixed it by renaming the folder where the jar file is stored from /lib

to /libs

.
