Add xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads" to your Relative layout, just before android:orientation="vertical".

southerton is wright, but maybe You have to remove this line from your adView. Your RelativeLayout has to be:

     <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:background="@drawable/background" 
    >

and the adview:

    <com.google.ads.AdView  
                 android:id="@+id/adView"
                 android:layout_width="match_parent"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                 ads:adUnitId="fsdfsdfsd"
                 ads:adSize="BANNER"
                 ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
                 />

Anyway, there is a mistake a few beginners make: Be sure that the folder where the AdMob Jar is inside Your Project is called "libs" and NOT "lib". Also You have to be sure, that You added the AdMob jar file to Your build path in the right way. And You have to declare the Admob inside Your Mainfest:

    <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
             android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

EDIT
