Admob ads not showing

I made a simple app and added an ad to it, but it doesn't show up on the device.

and there are no errors in my code:

xml:

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout1"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 tools:context=".MainActivity" 
 >

        <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/libs/com.google.ads"
    android:id="@+id/adView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="66dp"
    ads:adSize="BANNER"
    ads:adUnitId="ad_ip" >
    </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
    </RelativeLayout>

manifest file:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
 <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" ></uses-permission>    


 <meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="4.3.23" />

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

I think the problem is here

 <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/libs/com.google.ads"
    android:id="@+id/adView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="66dp"
    ads:adSize="BANNER"
    ads:adUnitId="ad_ip" >

1) The xmlns attribute should be like this and in my case I put it in the root tag of the xml file.



        xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

2) Check you have provided the actual adUnitId from admob account.

Hope this helps you, if any other problem you can ask.

In the beginning, I made the same mistake, I was only using the xml file and not loading the view into my activity. So just put this inisde into action:



     AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
     AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
     adView.loadAd(adRequest);

You are importing the wrong attribute xmlns

inside your declaration (it belongs to legacy admob ):

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/libs/com.google.ads"

you should only use the following, which applies to AdMob for Google Play:

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

==> remove invalid attribute xmlns

try it

XML:

       <com.google.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/ad"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="66dp"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="your key ID"
        ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>

Add the following code to your manifest:

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

Hope this helps you.
