Error Inflating Class Com.Google.Ads.Adview

Error inflating class com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView in android studio

You are using very old version of ads sdk.Change it with the latest.

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.1.0'
Also you have to add meta data in your manifest file's application tags

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
        android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/>

You can try like this

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"/> 

Error inflating class com.google.android.gms.ads.Adview (Android Studio)

I solved the error by copying my application files to a BannerExample project from Google. To make my app shows the ads, I changed specially the following files.

Error inflating class com.google.ads.AdView

Have you recently updated your Android Tools to r17 or higher? If so, you need to create a libs/ folder in your project, and physically put the SDK in the project. Or, in the Java Build Path, you must Order and Export the SDK jar.

Otherwise, the jar doesn't get included when your apk gets compiled, and all hell breaks loose when you run AdMob code at runtime.

NOTE: This applies to any library your project references.

The better way to include Google Play Services is via a Library dependency in the Project Structure dialog -- instead of adding the jar file as you have done, click the + button > Library dependency. Google Play Services should be in the list.

Also, if you're adding jar files, it's really best to not put them in the build folder -- that can get erased if you do a clean build. The best place is in a libs directory at your module root.
