        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:gravity="bottom"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <com.google.ads.AdView
            xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
            android:id="@+id/adView"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
            ads:adUnitId="xxx"
            android:gravity="bottom" />
    </LinearLayout>

what is wrong?

I'm seeing the same, but only for a very small section of the users. None of them seems to be rooted, but still suspect some ad-blocking modification on their part. — passy

You can also try this add dependency: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.+' to your app level build.gradel and build the project.

and then in your layout.xml file add

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
                    android:id="@+id/adView"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                    ads:adSize="BANNER"
                    ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"/>

banner_ad_unit_id: this must be your unique id

add bellow line to your java file java file

mAdView = (AdView) mMainView.findViewById(R.id.adView);

do not forget to add AdActivity in a manifest file.
