Error using admob

Question

I have followed an admob tutorial to add an admob banner to my application (this one http://www.wikihow.com/Add-Advertisements-to-Your-Android-Applications-Using-Admob)

I add it using the following code

<com.google.ads.AdView 
    android:id="@+id/adView" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    ads:adSize="BANNER" 
    ads:adUnitId="a151ebd8dece188" 
    ads:loadAdOnCreate="true" > 
</com.google.ads.AdView>

I also have in my manifest

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

</application>

and also

However, whenever I open this view on the app it crashes. I have looked at many admob questions on here but cannot find anything obvious missing from my code. Is it something simple that I am missing?

post your logcat please. – Chinmoy Debnath Jul 21 '13 at 13:30 — Chinmoy Debnath, Jul 21 '13 at 13:30

Try some of the following things:

Uptade eclipse and android SDK
Download adMob SDK from here and add jar in your libs folder. Also don't forget to add jar to your build path
Also, don't forget to set permissions (internet, access network state)
If nothing works, follow these instructions and it should work!

Let me know if it works

Is it necessary to have any reference to the admob in my .java file? I notice in the tutorial you link to it is the same as mine (without any reference) but I have seen some where some simple script is needed in the src aswell. Do you use this? – Kurt Jul 21 '13 at 23:41
No, I don't use any reference in java file. Just the part of the code in XML file and it works fine. – Guy Jul 21 '13 at 23:42
