Hi, I'm trying to compile an app that uses the AdMob v2.00 library and I'm getting the error:

...\admobsupport.java:29: error: cannot access AdView
_a.AddView((android.view.View)(_adview1.getObject()),anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.DipToCurrent((int) (0)),anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.DipToCurrent((int) (0)),anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.DipToCurrent((int) (320)),anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.DipToCurrent((int) (50)));

class file for com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView not found

I believe it's because I have v25 of Google Play Services, and I should be using v20?

I have this in my Main module:

B4X: 
#AdditionalRes: c:\Users\Richard\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

If I do need to use v20, do you know where I can get it from? If it's not a version issue, does anybody know what is causing the error?

Thank you,

Richy

I've found a version which now actually compiles but I'm now getting a message at run-time telling me that the manifest does not have the right value. It tells me it expects 6171000 but has found 7895000 and that I must include

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@Integer/google_play_services_version"/>

in my manifest, but I already have that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Richy

I've sussed that one out, it was in the google-play-services_lib\res\values.xml file. I appear to have got a number of different versions here. What is the recommended approach to keep a particular version with a particular project? So that even if the SDK changes, it won't affect a project?

Same error during compiling: "...class file for com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView not found"
I started with the first post here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/admob-tutorial-add-ads-to-your-application.7300/
I installed the latest SDK . Then I realized that i have GooglePlayServices (in future GPS) rev 30, and that the file google-play-services.jar is nowhere to be found.
Then I got the file from this post: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fusedlocationprovider.50614/page-7#post-424742 extracted the entire "google-play-services" folder to my <sdk>\extras\google.
Then I copied the file "google-play-services.jar" from C:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google-play-services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs to my additional libraries folder "C:\Android\android-sdk\additional-libraries".
I put in my manifest editor:
B4X: 
AddApplicationText(
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
  android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
  android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

)
'End of AdMob

...and in my project:
B4X: 
#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
    #AdditionalRes: C:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google-play-services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms
    #AdditionalJar: android-support-v4
#End Region
Configured paths:

Loaded AdMob 2.0 lib:


...but still on compiling get an error:


I am loosing my mind here, stuck here for two days. Read this post - still clueless. Read this tut (all 32 pages) - again: clueless.
Any help?

Erel, thanks for the prompt response (I really wonder how you keep up with all the questions).
Is B4A v6 released yet?
