Error parsing XML: unbound prefix with admob ad

I have a working layout which look like this:
<?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" >
<com.google.ads.AdView android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-xxx/xxx"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, xxx"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>
</LinearLayout>
now i want to remove the LinearLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.google.ads.AdView android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-9000079580883391/8483250253"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, 4FBD7E211FFFF7D7"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>
then i'm facing the error. I know I need to add the xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" but I dont know where

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" add both of these to your Adview

Use both
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.your.packagename
like this
<RelativeLayout 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:id="#+id/main_layout">
<com.google.ads.AdView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/adMob"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adUnitId="YOUR AdMob publisher ID"
ads:adSize="BANNER"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Ads are not loading in AdView in Landscape Mode Android

I Want to load Google Ads in in AdView in Landscape mode. The ads are loading in Portrait mode but it is not loading in Landscape mode. Please Help
Here is my code for xml:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<WebView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/web1"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
ads:adUnitId="a151c14ed73ec5f"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID"
android:gravity="center"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
android:layout_weight="9" />
</LinearLayout>
And This code is written in Java:
AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
Please Reply!
AdView is Showing but ads arw not shown in AdView.

You're using all your space for your webview:
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
Use a RelativeLayout instead, and put the WebView "above" the AdView.
<RelativeLayout
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">
<WebView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/web1"
android:layout_above="#id/adView" />
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="a151c14ed73ec5f"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID"
android:gravity="center"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

you should check the error log may be your adview is not getting proper space required for it..

ListView on TOP of Ads - Android

I'm having troubles showing ads on bottom of a listview, on my main activity the ads works, the only difference there is that I use a viewpager instead of listview.
This is the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
android:background="#313131"
app:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
app:adUnitId="MY_ID" />
<ListView
android:id="#id/android:list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#id/adView" />
</RelativeLayout>
The listview shows on TOP of the ads and of course can't be clicked, but this same layout works with a viewpager.

Another way.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="#id/android:list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
android:background="#313131"
app:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
app:adUnitId="MY_ID" />
</LinearLayout >
When Ad - is loaded, get his height. Then ListView bottomMargin = adHeight and Ad topMargin = (-1)*adHeight. Try it.

Final layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
android:background="#313131"
app:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
app:adUnitId="MY_ID" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/adView" />
</RelativeLayout>
And then replaced:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, list).commit();
With:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.listview, list).commit();

<ListView
android:id="#id/android:list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#313131"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads="SMART_BANNER"
ads="MY_ID" />
NB This is a layout question. It has nothing to do with Admob. If you are using a LinearLayout then just set layout_height="wrap+content" and layout_gravity="1" for the item that you want to expand to consume the unused space. In this case your ListView.
Your problem was really the layout_height="match_parent"
NB I also removed the unnecessary renaming of the ads namespace.

android layout overlay issue

I am a beginner in android.I made a flash game android app using a webview and integrated admob ad banner but it is overlaying the webview.I need it to appear like this pic http://i46.tinypic.com/2cosrjp.png
this is my code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/lay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="a1513fab869115a"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID" />
</RelativeLayout>

add android:layout_below="+id/lay" inside you webView view
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/lay"
android:layout_below="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
add android:layout_alignParentTop="true" in ads view
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="a1513fab869115a"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID" />

Even though RelativeLayout might be the first choice for many use cases, for this simple view I would use a LinearLayout, that's much easier.

i got the oppiste error, i want my app displayed as yours and i cant get it, i got the answer that u want.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="1">
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="355dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="000000000000000000"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom" />
<WebView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/tropas"
android:layout_weight="1.01" />
</LinearLayout>
this is my code and display Aadmob on top Not overlaying webview

error: Error parsing XML: unbound prefix in admob

I tried many combination but it showing following error in xml file
error: Error parsing XML: unbound prefix
in <com.google.ads.AdView line, how can i resolve this.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
myapp:adUnitId="000000000000000"
myapp:adSize="BANNER"
myapp:refreshInterval="30"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_of_wishes"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:dividerHeight="2dip"
android:clickable="true" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>

I'd like to think that you should be using the ads: instead of myapp:, but I might be wrong. Let me know if this doesn't work for you:
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="000000000000000"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:refreshInterval="30"
/>
The reason for this possibly helping would be the fact that you've set an ads namespace, but not myapp (as seen in this line):
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
