Try to set adUnitId from dynamicly, e.g.
<uradreference>.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-7409237681170791/6275305467");
also try with ads:adSize="BANNER" first! It should work.

main.addView(adView);
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
adRequest.addTestDevice("TEST_DEVICE_ID");
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
adView.destroy();
super.onDestroy();
}
}
when Activity start this type error occur onFailedToReceivedAd(InvalidAdRequest).
I don't know what is the problem.

You are not loading the AdRequest which has the test devices registered. Change your code to:
//....
main.addView(adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
adRequest.addTestDevice("TEST_DEVICE_ID");
adView.loadAd(adRequest);

In your relativelayout that contains the adview, are you appending the content layout after the adview. If so, what are the android:layout_width and android:layout_height values. If you are using fill_parent/match_parent for both, then your adview will never show.
The trick is to change the relativelayout to the linearlayout. Then for the content layout within this linearlayout, set its android:layout_width="fill_parent" and android:layout_height="0dp". Add a new attribute android:layout_weight="1" for the content layout. What these does is to ask the content layout to accomodate the remaining space of linearlayout after the adview has occupied its place. Hope this helps.

change White background during app launch

I want to get rid of the white color during the short period when my app is launching but the content isn't displayed, yet.
My main activity is :-

i will try but when open loading image and open main layout its show error

There a many tutorials and videos for creating Splash Screens, which should give you the desired results.
The basic steps are;
Create a splash image in the desired drawables folders.
Create a theme with your image in it
create an activity using the theme, and have that activity start your current main activity

Android Splash Screen broken

i made a splash screen with this youtube video turtorial here ~> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHg_0HJ5iQo
i saved my files and made sure they are there now when i send it to my device the splash screen does not show up.. i dont know why.
heres my activity_main.xml code
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:background="#drawable/back_background"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
</RelativeLayout>
here is my splash.xml code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="#drawable/splash_background"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
heres my manafest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

So after talking in chat, I see that the reason your splash screen isn't showing up is because you're not doing anything with the splash.xml layout file. If you don't inflate your splash layout or set it as a content view, then you'll never see it.
There are several ways to do this but this is the approach that I would take:
Create a SplashActivity
Make SplashActivity your launcher Activity.
Use a timer to start your main activity.
SplashActivity.java
package com.example.idoser;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
AsyncTask<Object, Object, Object> mTimerTask;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if(mTimerTask != null) {
mTimerTask.cancel(false);
mTimerTask = null;
}
mTimerTask = new AsyncTask<Object, Object, Object>() {
#Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {
try {
Thread.sleep(3000); /* 3 second splash screen */
} catch(Exception e) { }
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Object result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
};
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if(mTimerTask != null) {
mTimerTask.cancel(false);
mTimerTask = null;
}
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.idoser"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.idoser.SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.example.idoser.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Mind you this is not the best possible way to do this but it should at least get your splash screen showing and give you an idea of the direction you need to go.

Android WebView Screen Goes black during load the next or same page

We made an android application for samsung galaxy tab using webview but when we hit the same page or a different page in between we got a black screen for 4-5 seconds after that screen shows the page.
So please tell me what we do for this i don't want that black screen.
Kindly find the below code for the same.
CallKiosk.java

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
setContentView(webview);
webview.loadUrl(url);
}
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;

Try this if useful, webvieew.setBackgroundColor("#FFFFFF")
