uncommenting //layout.addView(adView); => crash

marc

I've tried adding an AdView as the Android docs describe. It compiles, but at runtime it crashes.

As soon as the .apk contains "layout.addView(adView);", it will crash with this logcat:

The content of my "res/layout/main.xml" (I tried naming it activity_main.xml too) is:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

You actually don't need any xml layout, you can do something like this in your activity after setContentView call

FrameLayout layout = (FrameLayout)this.getWindow().getDecorView(); layout.addView(adView)

Oh this looks fancy, thanks a lot!
