I would like to be able to do something like:

adUnitId="@string/adUnitId" in the AdView XML element

but this does not seem to work.

Even better, I would like to be able to specify the adUnitId in the Manifest
(which was easily possible in the old version of the SDK).

Should be very easy (and standard) to support this.

I would also be very happy to see either of those options.

You can do this by specifying the following in the attrs.xml file

<attr name="adUnitId" format="string"/>

and then in your AdView XML view add an attribute as follows

ads:adUnitId="YOUR_ID"

Actually seb,

adUnitId="@string/adUnitId" in the AdView XML element

doesn't seem to work.
Form memory you get a bad AdMobId error in the logs.
I found I needed to specify my Id explicitly in the layout XML, which
is in multiple places for me (to handle rotation etc).

We are working on a fix to allow string resources (e.g. "@string/
something") in our XML layouts. It should be available in the next
release.

Thanks,

William,

You are trying to get the adUnitId from the strings.xml, as I said
trying using the attrs.xml to define the tag, i.e.

attrs.xml file in the res/values directory as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <declare-styleable name="com.google.ads.AdView">
      <attr name="adSize">
          <enum name="BANNER" value="1"/>
          <enum name="IAB_MRECT" value="2"/>
          <enum name="IAB_BANNER" value="3"/>
          <enum name="IAB_LEADERBOARD" value="4"/>
      </attr>
      <attr name="adUnitId" format="string"/>
  </declare-styleable>
</resources>

and then in your layout xml define your AdView, e.g.

<com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView"
                         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                         ads:adUnitId="a111bbbccddd"
                         ads:adSize="BANNER"/>

The only thing is you'll have to enter the id in multiple places if
you have several AdViews.

One thing to note is that you need to declare the ads namespace in
your layout xml. i.e.

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
com.yourdomain.yourpackage"

Seb, please read Mark Carter's original post again.

He (as I do) wants to be able to specify the AdMobId in strings.xml
instead of in every layout. Ie

<com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView"
                         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                         ads:adUnitId="@string/myAdmobId
                         ads:adSize="BANNER"/>

William

Sorry, I've put my goggles on now, and see what he means. :-)

Agreed, it would be useful to have one place to define your id.
