Hi Quique,

com.google.ads.AdView is the class from the (deprecated) standalone SDK. The class in Google Play Services is com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

@Amy

I have used com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView in my xml but  it is giving me the error :

Exception raised during rendering: com/google/android/gms/ads/AdView : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log

Because of this error I cannot see my graphical layout. Can you tell me whats wrong?

This is my adview tag:

  <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

         android:id="@+id/pre_gate_adView"

         android:layout_below="@+id/listView1"

         android:layout_width="match_parent"

         android:layout_height="50dp"

         android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

         ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"

         ads:adUnitId="@string/ad_unit_id" >

     </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

Hi there,

This is a known issue - are you using Android Studio or IntelliJ? The app should still run find regardless.

Hi Amy,

I am using Eclipse IDE to develop app. This is very annoying problem with adView. Please help ASAP.

I am using below for showing banner ad in xml

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

            android:id="@+id/about_adView"

            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:layout_height="50dp"

            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

            ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"

            ads:adUnitId="@string/ad_unit_id" >

        </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

And it says "Exception raised during rendering: com/google/android/gms/ads/AdView : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log"

Please feel free to ask other details if you need any.

Thanks!

Hello,

It looks like you'll need to download Java 1.7 and have Android point to 1.7 to resolve the error.

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Thanks for reply. But the error is still there. 

1. I installed jdk-7u67-linux-x64.tar.gz. Then followed installation instructions.
   
2. Extracted this .tar file to my Desktop
   
3. So it created jdk1.7.0_67 folder
   
4. I opened eclipse set windows--preferences--java--execution environment--JavaSE1.7--checked jdk1.7 jre
   
5. set java--compiler compliance level 1.7
   

Please note that, I have not removed older version which is java-6-openjdk-amd64 under path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64

Am I missing something?

Please help me to resolve this issue.

I actually got some very similar message when I was working on something for Unity, and I downloaded jdk 1.7 and followed these instructions to point to jdk 1.7.

Granted, these instructions are for mac, so it'll likely be slightly different on Linux. But I strongly strongly believe the issue is related to 1.6 vs. 1.7 based on my personal experience now, and that despite your setting changes, Android is still trying to use jdk 1.6 to compile. Those changes sound pretty complete though, so I'm not sure which setting you actually need to change. I'm not sure if linux has the same CURRENT_JDK pointer that is used on mac.

Thanks,

Eric

as soon as it gets to the main activity it crashes and didn't crash before i added admob

[Eric Leichtenschlag (Mobile Ads SDK Team)]

Hi Steven,

Do you have the Google Play services library included/referenced in your app? That error indicates it can't find com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView, which is part of Google Play services.

Also, are you using Java 1.7?

Thanks,

Eric
