Admob ad showing error in xml

I am stuck in a problem and search alot but could'nt find the solution here is my code
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
app:adSize="BANNER"
app:adUnitId="xxxxxxxxxx" >
</com.google.ads.AdView>
This code show
Error parsing XML:unbound prefix
when i remove app:adUnitId and app:adsize it do not give any error, how can i remove this error?

Your error is typographical, you're setting:
app:adSize="BANNER"
app:adUnitId="xxxxxxxxxx"
But it should be:
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="xxxxxxxxxx"

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
Add this to your parent tag.
In my case.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/background"
android:orientation="vertical" >
Hope this will work.

Layout Adview - Error Parsing XML Unbound Prefix

My code is:
//Error parsing XML: unbound prefix error
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
andorid:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId=""
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID"
/>
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webkit"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
What is wrong? I don't know.
I try change "xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" to "android:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads", but it can't solve

Try this..
android spelling wrong in your andorid:layout_height change it and try it.
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

change andorid:layout_height to android:layout_height="wrap_content"
take reference from below layout example:
<?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:background="#000000"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="AD_UNIT_ID"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR"
/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/rootFrameLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>

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"
