    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    ads:adSize="BANNER"
    ads:adUnitId="xxx"
    ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/searchTextLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dip"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dip"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
    android:layout_marginTop="1dip"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="@null"
        android:onClick="geoLocate"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:src="@drawable/but" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/button1"
        android:background="@drawable/sback"
        android:hint="Wprowadź swój adres"
        android:padding="8dp"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black" />



</RelativeLayout>

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

This is almost certainly the same issue as com.google.ads.AdView failed to instantiate. Particularly check out Eric's comment on screen sizes.

Make sure you also declare the AdActivity in your AndroidManifest

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

You also need to add the AdActivity into your AndroidManifest. See my altered answer. – William Nov 22 '13 at 03:53

Try this i am sure this will work, shift the adview inside the scope of either the linear/relative layout, in your case relative layout. And make sure you have edited your manifest file accordingly. I gaurantee this will work.
