you must have ad activity declared in androidmanifest.xml with configchanges

[hadi frohar]

Hi
I'm trying to add ads in my application , but i get this error:
you must have ad activity declared in androidmanifest.xml with
configchanges

i added this code in the androidmanifest.xml
<activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|
screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Android target is 15 ( 4.0.3 )

What is your minSdkVersion set to? I believe it must be set to something 3 or above according to this

So do you have something like this:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

To clarify, setting the minSdkVersion=3 is not necessary; however, if you want your app to support Android 1.5 devices, you still have the ability to do so.

The setup you've described looks correct.  Setting the build target to android-15 in the project.properties should make Android 4.0.3 your referenced jar, and you should be able to receive ads with the configChanges and permissions you have above.  Are you still experiencing issues?

the config changes should look like this android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|
screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"

Then It wont show the error.

As Eric suggested, you should recheck the project.properties file for build target to be 15. You can find the project.properties at the end of each project.

Let us know if this helps.

Hi,

Even I tried the same. I am also facing the same issue and not able to figure out why it is happening.

I added the code as below in Manifest File

        <activity 

            android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"

            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation">

        </activity>

<uses-sdk

        android:minSdkVersion="8"

        android:targetSdkVersion="16" />

and in the layout i am using 

<com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/ad"

      android:layout_width="wrap_content"

      android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

      ads:adUnitId="testID"

      ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"

      ads:adSize="BANNER"/>

while running the app even I am getting the same error in the view of the app.

I have tried with solutions given and my manifest has this code:

<

activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

 

but i still get the same error.

Hi Himanshu,

Your configChanges is missing the orientation option. You should add that in.

Hope this helps!
