Question

i have tried adding the com.google.ads.AdView to the xml part, xml coding as follows:

<TableLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
    android:id="@+id/tableLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/background_color"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:stretchColumns="*" >
<TableRow
    <Button android:id="@+id/equal" 
        style="@style/Eq_button_style"
        android:text="=">   
    </Button>
</TableRow>

  <com.google.ads.AdView 
      android:id="@+id/adView"                         
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"                         
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"                         
      ads:adUnitId="a123123123123c"      //this ID is confirmed correct                   
      ads:adSize="BANNER"                         
      ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"   //this ID is confirmed correct                      
      ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>

</TableLayout>

However, even though the app does not crash when it runs, there is no ads showing at the bottom. the logcat is as follows:

10-10 01:45:16.460: W/Ads(16797): Not enough space to show ad! Wants: <480, 75>, Has: <464, 708>

How can it be solved? The program does not force close, it can still execute but the ad just cannot show.
Also, the last row Logcat says not enough space? how to add more space for it? i have already reserved many space for it.

Many thanks in advance!

revised logcat:

The app can still be executed appearing without any error, but these “E” parts are there any effects on the proper execution of the app in some situation?

Answer 1

The issue is indeed:

W/Ads(16797): Not enough space to show ad! Wants: <480, 75>, Has: <464, 708>

For that device, you’ll need the entire width of the screen to show an ad in portrait. Part of the problem is the android:padding="5dp" on your TableLayout.
