error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

When I followed the instructions to add an ad into my app by xml, I got the following errors:

Description Resource Path Location Type  error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example'  main.xml    /HelloWorld/res/layout  line 12 Android AAPT Problem  Description Resource Path Location Type  error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adUnitId' in package 'com.google.example'    main.xml    /HelloWorld/res/layout  line 12 Android AAPT Problem  

I did edit the main.xml, add attrs.xml file but the compiler didn't like it.

Based on the answer here, I think you need to change the xmlns:ads attribute. For example, change this:

It fixed it for me. If you're still getting errors, could you elaborate?

Answer by Kabilan for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

Make Sure you have included this part in your layout (top below xmlns:android line)

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.google.example"   ...........blah blah..  

Also Check whether you have included attrs.xml in the res/values/

Check here for more details. http://code.google.com/mobile/ads/docs/android/banner_xml.html

Answer by James for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

I had the same problem. I copied the example code from Google code, and could not compile.

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.google.example"  

Finally, I figured it out. The last part of the code "com.google.example", is their package name, so you need to replace it with your project package.

For example, my project package is "com.jms.AdmobExample", so my ads naming space is:

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.jms.AdmobExample"  

Check my example, it works fine. You can download the APK to try. I also put my source code here: Add Google Admob in Android Application

Answer by P-A for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

As you specify in your attrs.xml your adSize attribute belongs to the namespace com.google.ads.AdView. Try to change:

android:adUnitId="a14bd6d2c63e055"         android:adSize="BANNER"  

to

ads:adUnitId="a14bd6d2c63e055"         ads:adSize="BANNER"  

and it should work.

Answer by tjb for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

I received this error with regards to the largeHeap Attribute, my application did not run under eclipse but under ant it still built and ran normally.

The android documentation states that:

xmlns:android

Defines the Android namespace. This attribute should always be set to "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".  

I erased that line in my manifest, saved in eclipse, pasted the line back in and saved again, and it worked. In my case I guess the problem was eclipse, ant and adb not talking to each other correctly and the saving reset something. Interestingly restarting eclipse did not solve this problem (usually with these types of problems restarting eclipse is the first thing you should try, and usually it solves the problem).

Answer by Zennichimaro for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

for me, I have to add

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"  

right after:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  

in res/layout/main.xml

I also faced the same problem, I was using GoogleAdMobAdsSDK-4.1.0.jar then I tried with GoogleAdMobAdsSDK-4.0.4.jar now it is working fine, It is problem with jar file as per my experience.

Answer by M_AWADI for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

Replace /res/ with /lib/ in your custom layout nampespace.

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" in your case, would be:

xmlns:yourApp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.yourAppPackege.yourClass"

I hope it helps.

Answer by Has AlTaiar for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

I had a similar issue on MonoDroid when building a class library with Drawables and Layouts files that have "android:" attribute in the xml. I get a similar error as the one in the question.

No resource identifier found for attribute 'textCursorDrawable' in package 'android'

I found from that "android: " attribute is only available in Android API Level 12+ and I was trying to build for an older version. Updating my project to build against Android 4.0 fixed the issue for me. Here is where I found the answer. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/android-developers/ocxKphM5MWM Just make sure that you are building against the right API level if you get a similar issue, and ensure that the missing identifier exists in that API level that you are build against.

You can also use http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto that would take care of it automatically. Use it like this:

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  

Answer by Gene for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

The same error was happening to me in the "activity_banner_xml.xml" file inside res/layout folder. What I did to fix it was replace

with

There was no references to my package name. Also, be sure you set the adUnitId for ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"> The add unit Id is located in your res/Values/Strings folder.

So my final layout file looks like this:

Answer by Andras Balázs Lajtha for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

I had the same problem, but while using a library project. The issue has been solved in r17: Instead of using the package's namespace:

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/hu.droidium.exercises"  

One has to use a dummy namespace:

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  

This will fix the problem of the attributes not being accessible from the referencing project.

Answer by Sahana P for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

If yours is a gradle project replace:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"   

with:

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Answer by Onimusha for error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

I am adding the solution that worked for me for this same error.

I right clicked project > properties > (left panel) Android

Right panel under Library I removed the faulty library and added it again.

For me this error occurred after a corrupt workspace eclipse file where I had to import all projects again.
