Required XML attribute “adSize” was missing when i have xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" set

Question

I am trying to include ads in my test app, when I run the app in an emulator or a device I get a banner add saying Required XML attribute “adSize” was missing .

I have set xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" in com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView tag.

Not sure how to resolve this issue.

More details : Android Studio AI-141.1989493

Code snippet :

AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView); mAdView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER); mAdView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-xxxxx/xxxxxx"); AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder() .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) .addTestDevice("E58D5904AA50D88E2FD63A1D1EF97B34") .build(); mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />

Activity_main.xml

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"> <TableRow android:id="@+id/LinearLayout0"> <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-xxxxx/xxxxxx" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, E58D5904AA50D88E2FD63A1D1EF97B34"> </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

Change:

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

To:

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

<TableRow android:id="@+id/LinearLayout0" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-xxxxx/xxxxxx" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, E58D5904AA50D88E2FD63A1D1EF97B34"> </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView> </TableRow>

try this include a property on your root as done here.

The code below worked for me, and I think it will be all round :

<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>
