Help with AdMob please!

joelghill

I've been following the guide here (http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Gideros-Implementing-AdMob-for-Android) to implementing AdMob for an android game I've developed.

Upon startup in debugging mode, the application crashes. In the debug log there is an error stating that:

"08-14 17:43:40.656: E/dalvikvm(4054): Could not find class 'com.google.ads.AdView', referenced from method com.giderosmobile.android.LeyendaActivity.onCreate
"

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here. Could someone point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Hey @alexzheng, that looked favorable, but I tried that was recommended in the thread and it didn't seem to help my situation.

For anyone else that stumbles across this, here is a more comprehensive list from the debugging log:

Although I have imported the AdMob.jar file, and also pointed to the javaDoc location and source location, it still has trouble finding the com.google.ads.AdView class.

I'll continue to search the world wide web for clues, but I'm so inexperienced with Java that I don't even know where to start :S

Thanks again!

OK... I actually took another look at that solution and it does in fact work. I was running old software, and after a few updates it was working!
