Where have you placed the Libraries needed to use Admob? Are they set in the SDK?

In the SDK have you set the Configure Paths? It's under Tools Configure Paths.

I've actually places mine in the library directory under Anywhere Software.

GoogleAdMobAdsSdk.jar

and the two admob files, jar and xml

Then there's the setting in the SDK, where I've ticked the Admob Library and it indicates version 1.36

Manifest editor :

B4X:

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" 
    android:xlargeScreens="true" 
    android:normalScreens="true" 
    android:smallScreens="true" 
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")

'End of default text.

'AdMob
AddApplicationText(
 <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
  android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
)

Click to expand...

C:\android\platforms\android-17\android.jar
if that is what you mean i already use b4a with a lot of libraries

admob files library are copy to my library folder placed on :
D:\basic4android\library

I tried again with your manifest above ..and same error

this i found on some documentation
The five lines of code it takes to add a banner:

• Import com.google.ads.*
• Declare an AdView instance
• Create it, specifying the ad unit ID
• Add the view to the UI
• Load it with an ad

if i got this error it looks that the library is not recognised or not properly loaded ?
class file for com.google.ads.AdView not found

It doesn't find GoogleAdMobAdsSdk.jar. Make sure you put it in the correct folder.

problem was solved , thank you erel
My mistakes were:
the file was:
1. not int aditional library folder under c/programfiles/anywere software/basic4android/libraries
2. I renamed by mistake the file googleadmobadssdk.jar no extension was neded as pc tuned the file into googleadmobadssdk.jar.jar and sdk was not found

thanks ,

I have one more question :
When do I see the banner into my app ? it takes time or I have to see it write away ?

the publisher id is like "pub-899434983945893" or should I add only the numbers ?
there is another code associated to the app ..is this needed to?

I got my publisher id quite a long time ago. It was a different pattern. Check the logs (including the unfiltered logs), it should print an error or a warning if the id is wrong.
