Getting AdView to work

I am developing a game in libgdx. I read the official docs and tried to integrate MobClix Ads in my App but eclipse can't resolve this constructor for ADView class: (for Example):
AdView ad = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "a14d91b10f12454");
This line of code give me an error.
Maybe my import is not correct? I import this:
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdSize;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;
And the same for:
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
I tried to search for an answer but I coudn't find, Does somone know how to resolve this?
Sorry for my poor english.

Put this code to mainactivity
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.startapp.android.publish.StartAppAd;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private StartAppAd add = new StartAppAd(this);
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
StartAppAd.init(this, "105158220", "205151606");
//StartAppSearch.init(this, "105158220", "205151606");
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if(add.isReady())
{
add.showAd(); // show the ad
add.loadAd();
}
//a.loadAd(AdMode.FULLPAGE);
}
#Override
public void onResume(){
super.onResume();
add.onResume();
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
add.onBackPressed();
super.onBackPressed();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
add.onPause();
}
}

For the Google Maps API V2, for what I see now you are using the wrong Activity for your map layout. You are using the SupportMapFragment fragment, and there for you have to use the FragmentActivity object and not a simple Activity. try to change it to FragmentActivity.
And tell us what changed.

Everything is fine but I am getting error an on line:

id field is not recognised.

try to clean and rebuild your project, because that problem comes up sometimes on Eclipse IDE , the id of your MapView is not recognised on your R.java file :
Project ==> Clean ==> Choose your Project and Clic OK

<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:id="#+id/mapView"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

App crashes when it reaches myMapView.getController()

For some reason this VERY simple program crashes when it reaches the getController() method. Its almost like the debugger is trying to tell me something, but its all garble.Believe it or not there isn't a clear explanation or exception given, ha. But it definitely blows up on this line. If I take it out of the code the app will run a basic map. I have tried everything imaginable and I can't figure out the problem. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
public class Main extends MapActivity {
MapView myMapView;
MapController mc;
GeoPoint point;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
double lon = -79.9;
double lat = 40.4;
myMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.layout.main);
point = new GeoPoint((int) (lat * 1E6), (int) (lon * 1E6));
mc = myMapView.getController();
mc.animateTo(point);
mc.setZoom(13);
}
#Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
And the main.xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:enabled="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="0SN6PntBTxgMIeekPQm2Of1gnlDiHmrTm8GG2xQ"
></com.google.android.maps.MapView>
</LinearLayout>
And Finally, the manifest.xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.simplyDesign.BarCraw" android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".Main" android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
</application>
</manifest>

You should give your MapView an android:id and feed it to findViewById(). In your code you search for a view with the Id of your whole layout. This can only return null... and give you a NullPointerException when invoking getController() on null.

define id for MapView in xml
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:enabled="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="0SN6PntBTxgMIeekPQm2Of1gnlDiHmrTm8GG2xQ"
android:id="#+id/mapView"
></com.google.android.maps.MapView>
and change this line..
myMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.layout.mapView);

How do I display a Simple Google Map in my emulator in android?

I tried to write a simple google map application to display simple map but doesn't give me any output.
I pasted my code below:
AnroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.HelloGoogleMaps"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
<activity android:name=".HelloGoogleMaps"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
My layout file is:
map.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="0Z1oyeAgSpj4FSEtenPqiL7RsCXA_pVPQhvtpdA"
/>
</LinearLayout>
And my java class file is:
HelloGoogleMaps.java
package org.HelloGoogleMaps;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class HelloGoogleMaps extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.map);
MapView mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
}
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
return false;
}
}

I can't see your layout file, but have you set a proper API key?
http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html

Your HelloGoogleMaps should inherit the MapsActivity
Just change your code to
public class HelloGoogleMaps extends MapActivity {
#Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
}
