Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm implementing a layout for a small
screen device. For testing I'm using a Huawei Ideos U8150 which
has a resolution of 240x320.  Because of the small resolution I
have a major space problem. So I thought I could put an AdMob
AdView and a TextView inside of a horizontal LinearLayout. The
AdView size would take up 3/4 of the width and the TextView 1/4.
In the graphical layout tool everything looks as expected. But
when I run the app on the device it doesn't display an ad inside
of the AdView. I made the background of the AdView red so I can
confirm that the AdView is actually visible. It just doesn't
display ads.  I confirmed with onReceiveAd that I get ads. And I
print the frame of the AdView in that method. Which logs as
origin: 0,38 width: 180,47. Looks okay for me too.  So I'm
wondering if the AdMob AdView is able to resize its ads so they
are displayed correctly. Maybe the things I try are just not
possible.  That's my layout:  <LinearLayout
