there might be a some problem with adding googleadmobsdk cross check yourself with this link visit https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/#android.

I think that i can find at least one problem in your application, you are missing one impotant field in your admob specification, you must add that line in your layout:
ads:adUnitId="yourunitid"
In order to obtain yout unit id you must register your app to admob site, here: http://www.admob.com/my_sites/create_site
Another thing that you must consider, is that if you had just inserted the app, the banners usually show only after few hours.
Finally, i suggest you to add that line in your layout:
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR"
With that you are saying to admob to send only "test" banner to your device (this prevent the risk to be banned)
So your adView should be like:
then if it doesn't help add your logcat output.

Android ad size (smart banner not always working)

I got a realy annoying Problem with adMob and his banner sizes.
The smart banner size is a realy good thing, it does almost anything for you, what has to do with sizing ads, but only almost..
In the google docs is a table which sizes the smartbanner supports.
There are many sizes supported but not the landscape from a normal android phone..
https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/android-legacy/docs/admob/smart-banners
Thats how it looks like now:
Portrait - all good
Landscape - dont work
So is there a way to display my ad in landscape at the right way?
(this is for the ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER", when i use ads:adSize="BANNER" it display on both but its locked to the size that ads:adSize="BANNER" is giving you, so it look terrible on bigger screens)

Try to remove any margin or padding attribute from parent view in the xml file.
Hope this help you.
Sometimes smart_banner is not working in landscape mode. So change its size
ads:adSize="BANNER"
Perhaps this open-source solution can help you: https://github.com/ombori/app-banner
either by this:
npm install --save app-banner
var appBanner = require('app-banner');
// - or -
import appBanner from 'app-banner';
appBanner.init({
apple: 'id1234567890',
google: 'com.youcompany.yourapp',
placement: 'bottom-left',
})
or this:
npm install --save app-banner
import AppBanner from 'app-banner/src';
...
<div>
<AppBanner google="com.youcompany.yourapp" apple="id1234567890"
position="bottom-left" />

Conflict with facebook app

sorry for my english.
I made my first app very simple (web view with splash screen) for try and understand something basic function of android programming.
But when I build app-debug (directly on my smartphone), facebook start to crash continually.
I tried to leave only basic structure, commenting the rest
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
but, facebook continue to crash.
This is the log.
Someone can help me about this funny/annoyng issue?
This is activity_main.xml

Android Button text not centered when using API 17 for rendering

In the graphical view of layout, when I choose API 15 or lower from the button shown in the image below, the text in the encircled buttons looks fine.
When I choose API 17, the text is displaced even though the xml code is same. Changing the button padding does not help.
Is this just a problem with Eclipse or is it possible that new versions of android may see this displaced text?
What's the workaround to fix this?

android:gravity="center" did not help
I restarted eclipse twice. Strangely it did not help in the first restart but it looked fine after the second one. Also, its working fine on device.
Apologies for the question, I must have waited before posting the question.
Not sure if the default style for Buttons changed in API17... possibly...
Anyway, adding android:gravity="center" should be fixing this for you.
i don't know i faced this problem check restart a eclipse.. and check..
adding android:gravity="center" should be fixing this for you

Changing Buttons from Relative Layout to Linear Layout weird side-effects

The strangest thing happened to me today and caused hours of frustration and anger-management issues.
I had a working Android slideshow application. However, I was unhappy with the buttons (which were in a Relative Layout), and moved them to a Linear Layout. However, when running my application, the behavior of the buttons got swapped around (ie Button 1 did Button 2's work and vice-versa). I was able to remedy this by changing the id of ONE of the buttons, not all (that didn't work). Also related to this, was that my application started crashing when I switched orientation. It had worked previously when I had the Relative Layout. (I am using a Handler to change the UI for the slideshow)
I was unable to solve this issue, so I reverted to my Relative Layout, but I would like to know how this could have happened in the first place.
The layout that works:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/imageView"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:src="#drawable/image1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/startStop"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/startStop"
android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_slideshow" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/next"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="false"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/startStop"
android:contentDescription="#string/next"
android:src="#drawable/ic_media_next" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/previous"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="false"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/startStop"
android:contentDescription="#string/previous"
android:src="#drawable/ic_media_previous" />
</RelativeLayout>
The code that causes problems:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/next"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/next"
android:src="#drawable/ic_media_next" />
I had the same problem but with Relative Layout as parent & Linear Layout as child layout I took four imagebuttons

I put my whole night for solving the problem but nothing happened I shutted off dam thing tried to watch movie but for a while I was getting boared watching it I started Eclipse again and the magic that it was working so fine. Dont know But Rebuild & Clean has solved my problem as DeeV said
