    <p>Ok, I'm officially at my wit's end here. Working on an Android app that uses AdMob. Everything is set up to the letter following <a href="http://www.admob.com/docs/AdMob_Android_SDK_Instructions.pdf" rel="nofollow">their instructions</a>, no errors, etc.</p> <p>Problem is: I only see ads when the phone is in landscape orientation.</p> <p>I've searched online and done every last thing I can think of to test this: </p> <ul> <li>Tried it in test mode and normal mode</li> <li>Removed the orientation configChanges from my main activity's manifest and their handlers in the code, in case they were causing it</li> <li>Removed all functionality of the app so that onCreate looked like the one in the instructions above</li> <li>Tried every possible change of main layout - placing it in different locations, removing other widgets, different layouts, etc</li> </ul> <p>These are just a summary of a few hours of testing, every time the result is the same. Portrait shows no ad, landscape shows the ad (as/where expected - not stretched, but the max width issue is well known and not a problem).</p> <p>Logcat shows everything to be working properly in both orientations: Requests are made, ads are returned. I can click on the ads that appear in landscape, but tapping the area they're meant to be in portrait does nothing.</p> <p>It's driving me mental! Any ideas?</p> <p><strong>Edit: Okay, the problem is gone but I'm afraid I can't really call it a "fix".</strong> I remembered ads working fine in a previous but similar app. It was using a different version of the AdMob SDK - I don't know any details, but admob-sdk-android.jar is 77kb rather than 136kb.</p> <p>I copied the 77kb one from the old app into the new app, along with the attrs.xml file, which necessitated changing the primaryTextColor attribute in the AdView to textColor, and that's it. Works perfectly now - and as a bonus, the ads stretch horizontally across the whole screen in landscape view as well!</p> <p>I'm posting this as an edit rather than an answer since it seems more appropriate and I'd still love to know if anyone can shed some light on the issue. Was it an AdMob SDK issue?</p>

    1. COHave you tried to replace your adview with something static to see if the problem is in layout or in admob integration?

    2. COI tried that and it appeared fine... I also tried giving it fixed width/height, wrapping it in other static layouts, background colours, etc... Have just edited the question though - problem gone!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
