I am trying to add admob to my android app in android studio. I almost there but am getting the error of:

Namespace 'ads' not bound

Here is also my xml with the ad:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > <com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adUnitId="MY_AD_UNIT_ID" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/beerTitle" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:textSize="20sp" android:textStyle = "bold" android:padding="5dip" > </TextView> <ImageView android:id="@+id/image" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_margin="10dip"/> <TableLayout android:id="@+id/tableLayout1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:shrinkColumns="*" android:stretchColumns="*"> <TableRow android:id="@+id/tableStatTitles" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="5dip" > <TextView android:id="@+id/abvTitle" android:text="ABV" android:gravity="center" android:textStyle = "bold" android:textSize="20sp" android:layout_weight="1" ></TextView> <TextView android:id="@+id/IBUTitle" android:text="IBU" android:gravity="center" android:textStyle = "bold" android:textSize="20sp" android:layout_weight="1" ></TextView> <TextView android:id="@+id/glassTitle" android:text="Glass" android:gravity="center" android:textStyle = "bold" android:textSize="20sp" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" ></TextView> </TableRow> <TableRow android:id="@+id/tableStat" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="5dip" > <TextView android:id="@+id/abv" android:text="" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="15sp" android:layout_width="wrap_content" ></TextView> <TextView android:id="@+id/IBU" android:text="" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="15sp" android:layout_width="wrap_content" ></TextView> <TextView android:id="@+id/glass" android:text="" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="15sp" android:layout_width="wrap_content" ></TextView> </TableRow> </TableLayout> <View android:layout_width="1dp" android:layout_height="30dp"> </View> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <TextView android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Average Rating: " android:textStyle = "bold" android:textSize="20sp" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/beerRating" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="" android:textSize="20sp" /> </LinearLayout> <View android:layout_width="1dp" android:layout_height="30dp"> </View> <Button android:id="@+id/buttonBrewery" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="5dip" android:text="" android:onClick="viewBrewery" /> <Button android:id="@+id/buttonStyle" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="5dip" android:text="" android:onClick="viewStyle" /> <View android:layout_width="1dp" android:layout_height="30dp"> </View> <TextView android:id="@+id/yourPortfolio" android:textStyle = "bold" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:textSize="20sp" android:text="Your Portfolio:" android:padding="5dip" ></TextView> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/addBeerLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > </LinearLayout> <TextView android:id="@+id/beerDescriptionTitle" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:padding="5dip" android:text="Description:" android:textSize="20sp" android:textStyle="bold" > </TextView> <TextView android:id="@+id/beerDescription" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:textSize="15sp" android:padding="5dip" ></TextView> <Button android:id="@+id/buttonTasteTag" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="5dip" android:text="Taste Profile" android:onClick="viewTasteTags" /> </LinearLayout> </ScrollView>

You have to add this namespace:

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"

Just paste it below the android namespace:

<ScrollView 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" >

Also, keep in mind that since the update 17 of SDK Tools, you can use http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto instead of any of a fully qualified namespace+package-name (more info).

So this should also work:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:auto="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >

agreed with @NelsonWu ! The first one results in another Runtime Exception Ad Size and Ad unit id must be set before loadAd is called

I had the same issue, in my case the solution was to put a closing tag, for example:

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111"> </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

This tip is perhaps the only thing that works now! Thanks a lot

a name space should be added to your xml root element :D 

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"

add that line to the top tag or element inside your xml file, and you'll be ready to go.

Adding the following snippet to your root Element

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

Example

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent"
