I’m trying to integrate Admob into the app. I had the same issue many have had where Admob requires the project to be compiled against level 13. I have the level 13 SDK installed and my Admob activity in the manifest looks like:

<activity
        android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" >
    </activity>

I changed my target in default.properties to target=android-13.

My sdk targeting in the manifest looks like <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="13" />

But still I’m getting the error String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 'keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|
uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize') and on top of that, the SDK is not generating my resources class (my.app.package.R). I have cleaned the project, rebuilt, restarted Eclipse, I don’t know what else to do.

    Newer ADT versions use project.properties, but default.properties should (probably) work as well. To rule this part out, try changing the API level from the UI: right click the project, select Properties->Android, then select API 13. Also building against the latest API is preferable, so you might want to select API 16 (Android 4.1). If changes don’t seem to get picked up, close and re-open the project.
