adding google ads to android app

Question

i am tying to add google ads to my app(this is my 1st time). i have added the jar file also.

Here is the xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@color/headerbgcolor" android:weightSum="1" > <Button android:id="@+id/back" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0.2" android:text="@string/back" android:onClick="finishActivity"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/headertitle" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_weight="0.6" android:gravity="center" android:text="@string/header_title" /> <Button android:id="@+id/home" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0.2" android:text="@string/home" /> </LinearLayout> <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="320dp" android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true" > </ListView> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="a14f26e5d930307" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" ads:testDevices="AVD_for_4in_WVGA_Nexus_S,5554" /> </RelativeLayout> </LinearLayout>

but i am not able to define adview in my class, when i am trying to define it in the class.

here is my class where i am tryin to define.

public class Cities extends Activity { Button btnback = null; Button btnhome = null; TextView headertitle = null; ListView lstcities; ImageView imgfooter; AdView adView; public String BtnSelected;

i am getting error Adview cannot be resolved to type, when i'm trying to define

AdView adview;

what is the poblem?

I have used this jar file - GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-4.0.4.jar

have you imported this lines

import com.google.ads.AdRequest; import com.google.ads.AdSize; import com.google.ads.AdView; AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, getString(R.string.publisherID)); LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.imgBanner); layout.addView(adView); AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest(); adRequest.setTesting(true); // Start loading the ad in the background. adView.loadAd(adRequest);

In XML I have just written this

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/imgBanner" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

ANd in Manifest file

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

i am not able to import those classes. i tried before posting the question also
i just downloaded from google. i didnt get which version it is
you have added jar file - what is name of jar file? ANd after adding jar file to libs folder, have you Refrence Libraries?
it was just GoogleAdMobAdsSdk. thnx for your suggestion i changed it to GoogleAdMobAdsSdk4.0.2. now i am able to import the packages. now when i run my app it's just displaying empty space in the space where i want to display the google ads. what might be the problem
