Android Question AdMob dont working on old devices

[Douglas Farias]

Hi all
I m tested today on a old device my app, and i see the admob dont work, the ad dont show on this old device. android version is 2.3.6

Admob its working fine on my devices 4.0+ but not on the 2.3.6 (i dont know 3.0+)

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="22" />

my manifest its normal i think

Anyone know this, have this same problem? how load admob on old devices?

AdMob library requires Android SDK level 13 or above during compilation.

FIXED

i have change

Adview1.Initialize2("Ad", "xxxxxxxx", AdView1.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)
Dim height As Int
If GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize < 6 Then
   'phones
   If 100%x > 100%y Then height = 32dip Else height = 50dip
Else
   'tablets
   height = 90dip
End If
Activity.AddView(AdView1, 0dip, 100%y - height, 100%x, height)

to

adbox.Initialize("Ad", "xxxxxxxxxxx")
Activity.AddView(adbox, (Activity.Width - 320dip) / 2 , 75%y, 320dip, 50dip)

now works on Android 2.3+, i think the problem its on SIZE_SMART_BANNER or on initialize2
Thx Solved

notice that it will only work with a screen width of minimum 320 pixels.

I also have a phone that has 240x400 and it won't show there I've read on their site.
