Change com.google.android.ads to com.google.android.gms.ads In your main activity and your manifest because you're using the old ads, use the .gms change your xml too, to the .gms adview.

Here i past all code i used.... give me solution where am i wrong
i just got this

You need a "google programmer account", for to get it, maybe it is.

You have mixed Android Maps API v1 and v2. Remove all the code and follow this: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start
You don't want things like MapActivity and GeoPoint in your code anymore.

Android Splash Screen

this is what i have in my package explorer so lets start from the top
and work our way around to the problem where i think it is located..
MainActivity.java -
package com.drg.idoser;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
now SplashActivity.java
package com.drg.idoser;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
private static String TAG = SplashActivity.class.getName();
private static long SLEEP_TIME = 5; // Sleep for some time
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); // Removes title bar
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); // Removes notification bar
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
// Start timer and launch main activity
IntentLauncher launcher = new IntentLauncher();
launcher.start();
}
private class IntentLauncher extends Thread {
#Override
/**
* Sleep for some time and than start new activity.
*/
public void run() {
try {
// Sleeping
Thread.sleep(SLEEP_TIME*1000);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
}
// Start main activity
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
SplashActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
SplashActivity.this.finish();
}
}
}

</application>
</manifest>
now i think my problem is in AndroidManafest.xml i dont think i have the splach screen set up right in the AndroidManafest.xml when i launch my application from my phone it jumps to activity_main.xml and not splash.xml im new to android applications so i cant seem to find my problem but i need my splash screen to show for 5 seconds if anyone has TeamViwer and would like to help me ill post my session info if it will be faster.

Change your <application> tag to the following. You didn't have SplashActivity declared, and had your MainActivity setup as the launcher Activity.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.drg.idoser.SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.drg.idoser.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" />
</application>

The Best way implement a splash screen, to be displayed every time your application is launched will be to create a new activity.
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
private Handler mHandler;
private Runnable myRunnable;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Just create simple XML layout with i.e a single ImageView or a custom layout
setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen_layout);
mHandler = new Handler();
myRunnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
};
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Remove callback on back press
if (mHandler != null && myRunnable != null) {
mHandler.removeCallbacks(myRunnable);
}
super.onBackPressed();
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
// Remove callback on pause
if (mHandler != null && myRunnable != null) {
mHandler.removeCallbacks(myRunnable);
}
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
// Attach and start callback with delay on resume
if (mHandler != null && myRunnable != null) {
mHandler.postDelayed(myRunnable, ConstantValues.SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
}
super.onResume();
}
}

You can easily access splash screen like this. such as
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private ImageView splashImageView;
private boolean splashloading = false;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
splashImageView = new ImageView(this);
splashImageView.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
splashImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
setContentView(splashImageView);
splashloading = true;
Handler h = new Handler();
h.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
splashloading = false;
// set your layout file in below
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}, 3000);
}
}
it will be works 100%.

Here is a simple one!

Admob + surfaceview don't play well

I'm running Admob 6.0.1 and trying to add the advert over the top of the surface view, I can say that the code below works great with a Android 3.2 (a real device), and also works fine with a android 4 device in the emulator but, when I try to test on pre api13, eg 2.3.3 or below the advert doesn't show. Now here's the weird part, if I change the visibility of the surfaceview (in xml) to invisible the advert will show!!!! what's going on?? Is this just the emulator being buggy or do I have a real problem?
I've tried to keep the code as simple as possible to reproduce the error. I've added a button just to show the surfaceview does allow other views to update, just not the Admob view...
package com.google.example.ads.fundamentals;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import com.google.ads.AdView;
public class BannerSample extends Activity {
/** The view to show the ad. */
private AdView adView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout);
adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
}
/** Called before the activity is destroyed. */
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
// Destroy the AdView.
if (adView != null) {
adView.destroy();
}
super.onDestroy();
}
}
class Panel extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private final TutorialThread _thread;
public Panel(Context context, AttributeSet att) {
super(context, att);
getHolder().addCallback(this);
_thread = new TutorialThread(getHolder(), this);
}
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(Color.BLUE);
Log.d("Hello", "drawing stuff");
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
Log.d("HELLO", "surface changed" + holder.getSurfaceFrame().width()
+ "Height: " + holder.getSurfaceFrame().height());
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
_thread.setRunning(true);
_thread.start();
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// simply copied from sample application LunarLander:
// we have to tell thread to shut down & wait for it to finish, or
// else
// it might touch the Surface after we return and explode
boolean retry = true;
_thread.setRunning(false);
while (retry) {
try {
_thread.join();
retry = false;
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// we will try it again and again...
}
}
}
}
class TutorialThread extends Thread {
private final SurfaceHolder _surfaceHolder;
private final Panel _panel;
private boolean _run = false;
public TutorialThread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, Panel panel) {
_surfaceHolder = surfaceHolder;
_panel = panel;
}
public void setRunning(boolean run) {
_run = run;
}
#Override
public void run() {
Canvas c;
while (_run) {
c = null;
try {
c = _surfaceHolder.lockCanvas(null);
synchronized (_surfaceHolder) {
_panel.onDraw(c);
}
} finally {
// do this in a finally so that if an exception is thrown
// during the above, we don't leave the Surface in an
// inconsistent state
if (c != null) {
_surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c);
}
}
}
}
}
and the XML:
<?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"

android:layout_gravity="top" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="xxxxxxxxx"

<Button android:id="#+id/mybutton" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="#id/adView"
android:text="hello" />
</RelativeLayout>
And the manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Any ideas or help would be so great, I've tried to post on Google Groups for admob but I think it got lost in a void..

As it turns out it was a problem with the emulator, When the code was run on a real device it worked fine! crazy emulator...

Try placing the AdView outside of the SurfaceView instead of on top of it. You can do this by aligning the AdView ad the top, and setting the SurfaceView below it.

android:layout_height="match_parent" android:visibility="invisible"
