problem with 4.1.0 - "Adview missing required XML attribute "adsize""

[Rob]

I was using 4.0.4 with no issues and then updated on Admob to 4.1.0.
I have the adviews set up in the layout XML (my ad unit is changed
obviously and I know it's valid because it's in a live app that is
serving ads with no problems) :

<com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/topad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="1234"
ads:adSize="BANNER"/>

And the Adview is defined in attrs.xml as:

<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>

Logcat doesn't give me much:

05-11 23:14:03.182: WARN/Ads(17648): Invalid unknown request error:
Cannot determine request type. Is your ad unit id correct?
05-11 23:14:03.185: INFO/Ads(17648): onFailedToReceiveAd(Invalid
Google Ad request.)
05-11 23:20:52.138: ERROR/Ads(17800): AdView missing required XML
attribute "adSize".
05-11 23:20:52.205: ERROR/Ads(17800): AdView missing required XML
attribute "adSize".


This was working perfectly fine before with 4.0.4...have I missed an
instruction somewhere? All I thought that was necessary was to drop
the new JAR in the build path... please help.

Thanks!

Same problem in my development.

[Rob Franz]

Anyone else see this?  I have also sent this on to Admob's support (not sure if it all goes to the same place anyway).  Would it be possible to get access to the old version of the JAR?  I foolishly seem to have deleted 4.0.4 :(

[chis]

I'm having the same issue. Tried adding this from scratch and my app
only shows "AdView missing required XML
attribute "adSize"." where the ad should be. :-( I might go back to
the AdMob SDK from the admob-sdk-android_20101109 release...

[Rob Franz]

4.0.4 seems to be working with no problems for me... I may just go back to that as well.

Google - anything from you guys?

I can confirm this issue also.

If you still want the 4.0.4 jar I can upload however it's included in
example zips inside the libs directory.

[Rob Franz]

Thanks Scott.  I still happen to have 4.0.4 sitting around (thought I deleted it) so I'm going to stick with that one.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the inconvenience. We haven't had a chance to update all of
our documentation fully yet. 4.1.0 made some changes to the way that
XML layouts work. In particular, you shouldn't need attrs.xml anymore.
Try the following and let me know if it works (or more importantly if
it doesn't):

1) Remove attrs.xml (or if you need it for your own custom attributes,
remove the parts related to AdViews).
2) Change the namespace in your layout from xmlns:ads="http://
schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.your.packagename"
to xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"

Also, in the simplest of cases, where your code simply does
AdView.loadAd(new AdRequest()), there's a new XML attribute to make
your code even simpler. Adding ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" should call
loadAd(new AdRequest()) for you when the ad is inflated from the XML.
This means that the simplest of cases just got simpler because it
requires no code at all (no finding the view from the layout just to
call loadAd with a blank ad request). Obviously keep in mind though
that using this method means you have less control over your ads like
when requests occur, and what goes in them.

We think this will be easier in the long run since you won't have to
create the attrs.xml file. Again, sorry for the inconvenience and
thanks for your patience.

Thanks,
-Tim

[Rob Franz]

Thanks Tim...I put 4.1.0 back in, followed these steps (kept attrs.xml and removed the adviews stuff), and everything looks good now.

-rob

[Tim]

Rob,

That's good to hear. We're trying to keep the documentation up to
date, but we figured you'd rather get the code as soon as it was
available since it fixes quite a few bugs rather than wait for us to
sift through all of our documentation updating it. Sorry again for the
inconvenience and thanks for testing it so quickly!

Another update on the XML attributes is that you should also be able
to use string resources now (e.g. "@string/admob_id").

Thanks,
-Tim

[ez]

Hi Tim

Thanks

We got it to work. But we cannot remove attrs.xml file.

The key seems to be you second point.

2) Change the namespace in your layout from xmlns:ads="http://
schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.your.packagename"
to xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"

Thanks

[grndvl1]

Got the new update and removed the attrs properties for admob and also
removed all loads from code using the ads:loadAdOnCreate="true". Then
changed the reference to the a xmlns with xmlns:ads="http://
schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads". Application loads now
0.10 secs faster and seen a reduction in load size of app to now that
every page doesn't explicitly load the adMob classes. Thanks!

[Whitecat Software]

Well it kind of works. It now displays ads correctly, but not all ads
are the same size even though the BANNER size is set. Some ads come
back about half size - these were ads that used to fill the whole
BANNER ie: screen width * 40px.

[Whitecat Software]

Edit I meant 50px. And the E-Bay for android ad is an example of one
that comes back half size - the graphic one is half size, but the text
version is full size.

[Apichai C.]

Thanks. It works.

[Ebenezer]

Have exactly the same problem.
I am using version 4.02 now until this buf is fixed, because I deleted
4.04.

[Sargius]

Dear Tim, I am trying to include AdMob in Android Live Wallpaper
Settings screen and it seems to me that I have all possibles problems
which I could have. If you have a sample of that applicatio, a
workable one, please send me, it will be a nice solution of all
problems. Thank you very much in advance!

[DraganA]

I'm still having problems, even after doing what Tim said, the problem
shows in Eclipse graphical designer whey using Admob xml layout.
Something to do with XML parser, and not being able to instantiate
Admob class, and it only seems to affect graphical layouts for <
Android 2.3

[Tim]

DraganA,

What type of error are your receiving? What does your layout look
like? Please provide more information so that we can try to reproduce
the issue.

Thanks,
-Tim

[kerul]

For anyone who seems lost, do visit my simple tutorial at
http://blog.kerul.net/2011/05/installing-google-admob-into-android.html
...

This tutorial is for installing admob sdk 4.1.0 in android. Hope it
helps...

[DraganA]

Hi Tim,

After following the steps you specified, I open an xml layout file in
Graphical layout tab, with Admob view in there. By default it opens
Android 3.0 layout version and that works fine. Android 2.3 also works
fine, but when I select Android 2.2 Layout I get error. This is the
copy of the error log.

DraganA,

Thanks for the additional info. I've found the error and it should be
corrected in the next release. This error only should only affect the
graphical layout editor because it attempts to insert a TextView that
says "Ads by Google" where the ad should be, but it is initialized in
a way that causes it to crash on Android 2.2. Your ads in your app
should be fine.

Thanks,
-Tim

Hi Tim,

I am having a issue with point 2 that is mentioned in you post. : "2)

Change the namespace in your layout from xmlns:ads="http://
schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.your.packagename"
to xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"

the xml for my layout is as follows..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/ad"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#FF0000"
com.google.ads.adSize="BANNER"/>

<com.Kreeda.MainView
android:id="@+id/themain"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/ad"/>
</RelativeLayout>

is there a way to still use this, or do i need to start from the
beginning?

[Tim]

kreeda,

Try adding the following line
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
after the line
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
in your RelativeLayout.

Then, change com.google.ads.adSize="BANNER" to ads:adSize="BANNER" in
AdView. And the last thing is to add ads:adUnitId="your_admob_id" to
AdView. I think that should work.

Thanks,
-Tim

[Prateek]

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your prompt responses. I am facing a weird issue in which
the ad doesn't show up if I put it at the bottom of a LinearLayout or
RelativeLayout.

It shows up perfectly when I place it on top. I get a warning in
LogCat that says "Not enough space to show ad! Wants: <480, 75>, Has:
<480, 64>"

Following is the stripped down code. Basically there is a root
linearlayout containing four children: RelativeLayout (of weight 0.9),
a TextView, an Ad divider image and AdView (of weight 0.1).

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
mypackage"
android:id="@+id/rootLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/headerRelativeLayout"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_weight="0.9">

<!--Bunch of images and list under Relative layout-->

<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>

<TextView
android:id="@+id/someText"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:textSize="7dip"/>

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/adDividerImageView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

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

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_weight="0.1"
ads:adUnitId="my_unit"
ads:adSize="BANNER"/>
</LinearLayout>

and my onCreate():

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

AdView adView = (AdView) this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();

adView.setAdListener(new AdViewListener(this));
adView.loadAd(adRequest);

Please advise what I am doing wrong. I have been stuck on this for
past 3 days.

Thanks!

Prateek

[kreeda]

Thank you for the quick responce. You made my day! thanks again.

Hi Tim,

Is there any chance the documentation can be updated anytime soon?
Right now it is very hard to get stuff working, while it should not be
that difficult to update the site.

Thanks.
Paul.

[wes]

Prateek,

Have you tried hard-coding the AdView's layout_height as 75dip?

Cheers,

Wes

[Rogério Guimarães]

Hi Tim,

Please help me.

I did every step you wrote below and my application is still showing

"AdView missing required XML attribute adSize".

I read each post in the forum and I cannot fix the problem.

My App is API Level 7 with Google API.
My Eclipse run in Mac Os

Regards,

Rogerio

[Tommy]

I am having problems with the new 4.1.0 sdk with banner ads showing
half the size. Im not sure but it seems to be something with using
the new namespace xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/
com.google.ads" in my layout xml instead of the old namespace
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.your.packagename"
because the old namespace uses the attrs.xml file assigns adSize for
"BANNER" with a value of "1".

I don't know if this is the problem because of using namespace
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" with no
attrs.xml file. It only happens to banner ads. Text ads show up with
correct size.

Please fix. Can't update my app until ads shows correctly.

I was using 4.0.4 with no issues and then updated on Admob to 4.1.0.
I have the adviews set up in the layout XML (my ad unit is changed
obviously and I know it's valid because it's in a live app that is
serving ads with no problems) :

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

                         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                         android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                         ads:adUnitId="1234"
                         ads:adSize="BANNER"/>

And the Adview is defined in attrs.xml as:

<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>

Logcat doesn't give me much:

Hi Ishwarya,

You would want to isolate the cause of the problem here. I would eliminate all the code that isn't related to ads to test. 

Also, I'd correct the spelling at ads:adsSize="BANNER" in your AdView's XML.  As a helpful tip, you only need to set the adSize once (either in the Java or in the XML).

Hi there,

Please refrain from re-opening old threads with new issues.

That said, seeing as you have already created your own thread on your issue, I would suggest you continue your discussion from there as this thread is around 7 months old.
