I’m trying to add an AdMob ad to my android application but whenever I’m opening the activity that is supposed to display the ad I get this error:

I/Ads(11448): adRequestUrlHtml: <html><head><script src="http://media.admob.com/sdk-core-v40.js"></script><script>AFMA_getSdkConstants();AFMA_buildAdURL({"kw":[],"preqs":4,"session_id":"17111845472336325405","u_sd":2,"seq_num":"5","slotname":"MYUSERIDHERE","u_w":360,"msid":"com.lazyprogrammer.dartscore","adtest":"on","js":"afma-sdk-a-v6.0.1","mv":"8011019.com.android.vending","isu":"70069487A7A68D24BEF2581104A73318","cipa":0,"format":"360x50_mb","net":"wi","smart_h":"auto","app_name":"1.android.com.lazyprogrammer.dartscore","hl":"en","smart_w":"full","u_h":613,"carrier":"26203","ptime":225498,"u_audio":1});</script></head><body></body></html>

I can’t find anything on this problem on google or elsewhere and I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong.

Just in case, here is my xml snippet that is supposed to show the ad:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
    ...

    <com.google.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="MyIDhere"
        ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
        ads:testDevices="70069487A7A68D24BEF2581104A73318" />

</RelativeLayout>

Of course I took out all the – I think – unnecessary code for this problem but if it’s necessary to see it I’ll post it here as well.

I also took out my AdMob UnitID, you probably figured that out but I’m writing this here so that missing UnitId won’t be an answer.

My Manifest has the right permissions listed:
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
android.permission.INTERNET

and i also have the AdActivity added with the right configChanges

    I had this error too and solved by loading the ad in separate thread (in ICS you’re not allowed to perform network operation in the main thread)

    (new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                     Looper.prepare();
                    adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
                }
            }).start();
