Try add the AdView programmatically. Ex.:

   adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.SMART_BANNER, "YOUR AD ID HERE");

   LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llad);

      layout.addView(adView);
       AdRequest request = new AdRequest();

       request.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
       adView.loadAd(request);
