This document provides instructions for setting up AdMob advertising on an Android application. It describes registering an app with AdMob, adding the AdMob SDK library, configuring permissions and activities in the Android manifest, and modifying activities to include an AdView where ads will be displayed. Key steps include registering the app, adding the AdMob publisher ID, downloading the Google Play services repository, adding required permissions, and modifying XML layouts and Java classes to integrate the AdView.

2. Registering for ADMOB

3. Registering with AdMob for
Android
-We begin with registration with AdMob,
which can be done by using your Gmail
account login. This will take you to your
Gmail login page, so you must revist the
admob.com page by clicking the "Android"
icon
-Once you have your app registered, a unit ID
will be registered to your app in order to get
the ads: this called the Publisher ID

4. Google API
- Set the target as Google API and add the
Admob sdk library/jar
-Right click on the project so that
Project>Android>Project Build Target
where the selection for Google API will be
made
-Add admob sdk lib in the build path
-Clean the project if there are any errors

5. Specific Instructions for Android
- If you are using Android you no longer
require the standalone GoogleAdMobAds
SDK. You can simply import the GooglePlay
libraries.

6. Repository Refrencing and
Syncing
-The Google repository should be
downloaded through the google SDK
manager
- Once downloade, the repository needs to be
referenced through the build.gradle file
- By adding - compile
'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.+'
under dependencies
-Sync the project!!!

7. Edit the Publisher ID in strings.xml
It should be something like this
Ca-app-pub-************************************
In case you missed this while registerating,
you can go through the admob.com page
and login using your google credentials and
it will direct you to your page

8. Android Manifest
-Set it up so that AdMob has internet and
network access in order to display the ad
on the application
-The configuration should be added under the
current activity. Then permission must be
allowed to internet and network:
<uses-permission
android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCES
S_NETWORK_STATE"/>

9. AndroidManifest Permissions

10. Configuration Change in Android
Manifest
-Modify the manifest file to include the
permissions version number and the activity
definitions
-After this you need to add a unique identifier
to allow for the ID to be to be shown within
your code in the place you specify
-Every ad banner requires a unique id that
can once again be found on your
registration page

12. Modifying activity and AdView
-Modify the activity in which you plan to have
the ad showing.
-Start by including
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/ap
k/res-auto"
-Add an AdView tag at the bottom of the
screen you plan to display the ad on
-Once you have set the manifest file and the
activity xml file you can modify the java
class that it is to be displayed on. Start by
declaring a new AdView and then find it by

17. That's all for Admob. :)))
