Admob with Surfaceview crashes

Question

I want to add Admob Banner ad with SurfaceView but it gives NullPointerException, Here is code:

private AdView mAdView; private LinearLayout ll; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); ll = new LinearLayout(this); mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView); AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder() .build(); mAdView.loadAd(adRequest); ll.addView(mAdView); ll.addView(new GamePanel(this)); setContentView(ll); }

GamePanel is a class that extends SurfaceView and implements SurfaceHolder

Error says:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView.loadAd(com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest)' on a null object reference at com.example.binnat.zigzag.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:54)

line 52: mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

You don't have that view in your layout yet so find the Adview in your LinerLayout.

mAdView = (AdView) ll.findViewById(R.id.adView);

Edit:

You can also move your setContentView call just to after you've created your LinearLayout:

ll = new LinearLayout(this); setContentView(ll);

Thanks, it helped a lot to find my mistake, actually i created banner ad in xml also. I deleted it from xml and tried with code and it worked
