  1. POAdding AdView to a class that extends ListActivity
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using AdMob for my Android apps. And I have wanted to add a AdView to an Activity that extends ListActivity.</p> <p>I have tried using <code>getListView().addHeaderView(my_ad_view)</code> but that doesn't seem to work.</p> <p>Any idea how to achieve this? As I'm very new to this field any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <p>This activity starts like:</p> <pre><code>public class Home extends ListActivity { /* Code */ } </code></pre> <p>The <code>onCreate()</code> function:</p> <pre><code>public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Set the list items. The method populateList() reads the items from the database // and returns a String array. setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(this, R.layout.list_item, populateList())); ListView lv = getListView(); lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true); lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; parent, View view, int position, long id) { goToTasks(String.valueOf(getListAdapter().getItem(position))); } }); lv.setCacheColorHint(0); lv.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.fmn_background_300); registerForContextMenu(getListView()); refreshList(); // Here is the AdView code AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, FMN.ADMOB_ID); LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll_admob); ll.addView(adView); getListView().addHeaderView(ll); adView.loadAd(new AdRequest()); } </code></pre> <p>I have set the Permissions and have declared the activities in the Manifest as required.</p> <p>In the <code>populateList()</code> method, I have only obtained a <code>Cursor</code> and then do some manipulation work and finally returned a <code>String</code> array.</p> <p>So what am I doing wrong? The app just exits when this activity is loaded.</p>
