I’m just trying to get the basics down of using Admob in my android

  • 0

I’m just trying to get the basics down of using Admob in my android apps, but for some reason, even the example code crashes my device and emulator. I followed the instructions on https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/ and it didn’t fix my problem. As far as I can see, everything is included properly, I’ve added the jar file to the build path, etc etc. But for some reason, I always get errors like the following:
