Which plugin layout file is this? I think its the flashlight plugin layout file that you want to put ads in to it. Well then try the following code in this layout file and see if it works. I have had not time to test it myself but it should work. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/containerView" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/subContainer" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical"> <Button android:id="@+id/buttonFlashlight" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="Torch-ON" /> </LinearLayout> <com.google.ads.AdView xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER" ads:adUnitId="YOUR_ADMOB_PUBLISHER_ID" ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" > </com.google.ads.AdView> </RelativeLayout> And later you put the following code in the manifest file before the closing of the </application> tag- <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

"thanks a lot" I fixed a few errors taking side note advice from eclipse but now whenever i run the app it crashes.. In the Main.xml file I get a yellow line error under this line "android:text="Torch-ON" />" stating "[I18N] Hardcoded string "Torch-ON", should use @string resource." Also in manifest on line "<application" I get the error message "Should explicitly set android:allowBackup to true or false (it's true by default, and that can have some security implications for the application's data)" I have tried everything that I know of and still cant figure out how to correct these problems.

Well you can ignore the yellow error marks. They are not fatal anyway. But in case you want to remove the error and by far the correct method to create a layout file is to use strings for the text options. So, open strings.xml and add another new string in it like below- <string name="torch_on">Torch On</string> and in your layout file in place of android:text="Torch-ON" put this- @string/torch_on You can find the strings file in res--->values folder in your project file. Now the error in the manifest file put the following code in the application tag at start - android:allowBackup="true" now your main activity will look like this in the manifest file- <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:allowBackup="true" > <activity android:name="com.prgguru.com.SimpleNotificationAppActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
