Look at this link: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/android/quick-start

It says it requires at least api 9 (android 2.3)

I'm not sure why you would still need to support android 2.2 (only 0.7% according to this: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html)

Hope this helps

@R114 And "this" is official Google data, so spare your efforts. – joao2fast4u Oct 30 '14 at 15:14

From your posted code xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" I can see that you are using an outdated Admob Sdk.

What you should do is to migrate your code to the google play services admob, see the official guide: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/android/play-migration

And you should also drop the support for API 8, really.

Clicking the accept icon ✓ next to the question is the stackoverflow way of saying "Thank you" ;-) @R114 – donfuxx Nov 08 '14 at 12:54
