I am trying to implement AdMob in my Application. But dont know somehow its showing this error and my R.java file is not being generated due to it. I have tried all the ways to solve this problem, like Clean,Build, Build All. But non is working for me. Following my code snippet in which its showing error "Error in parsing XML: Unbound prefix"

<?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="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@color/bgcolor"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/Linearlayout1" 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" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="XXX" ads:refreshInterval="60"/> </LinearLayout>

Please help me out. I am stuck here :(

Probably a namespace issue. You have to define the namespace.

try adding

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

I tried adding above line, but then also its not working. For above to work, do I also have to make 'lib' folder in 'res' directory and copy the AdMob jar into it??
Later when I again rebuild and clean the project, the above solution worked for me. Thanks for Eren
One more thing to be done here is that, when I was trying the above code using 'libs' folder, the ads were not getting displayed. But when I changed it to 'lib' then its working without hassle.

New Admob SDK (Google Play services) requiried another namespace

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

and put this lines in manifest.xml file

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <meta-data android:value="true" android:name="ADMOB_ALLOW_LOCATION_FOR_ADS" />

the above code is working perfectly for me... visit this site for complete reference help forandroid-admob
