Ive been trying to add Admob to my app all day and everytime the App crashes and says my app has stopped working. here is my log of the error 12-13 01:15:41.660: E/AndroidRuntime(1682): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 12-13 01:15:41.660: E/AndroidRuntime(1682): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.v1_4.B60E6D01565D444A597A8FCB.com/com.hnn.WB_screen_menuImage}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #35: Error inflating class com.google.ads.AdView I would like to add ads to a tabbed layout or menu with image. Can someone assist me with this? Thanks :)

I think that you are trying to add the banner ad through coding in the class files. Better option is to add it in the layout file. Check out the following post to see how you can add banner ads through xml coding. In case you still get errors then send me your project file in zipped format at my email add- sandeepkurne (at) gmail (dot) com. I will be pleased to see what exactly is happening wrong in there. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=43A315FFC67787BDD76AAE4&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=admob&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory=

Sandeep is right, the easy option is adding code to the xml files. Adding to the class files is more technical but has more control of the ads.

I had the same problem and this is how I fixed it: You need to create a libs/ folder in your project, and physically put the AdMob SDK in the project OR in the Java Build Path, you must Order and Export the SDK jar. Otherwise, the jar doesn't get included when your apk gets compiled, and all hell breaks loose when you run AdMob code at runtime.
