Downloaded to support. You might want to swap out the third or fourth screenshot though, repeats the same fact, even if it does have a different colored background.

Any success on AdMob?

Using the docs @ https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/android/quick-start

I keep getting the following error:

error: cannot find symbol class Builder

Code per the Doc:

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

did you make sure you put the correct code??

in main Activity put:

private AdView mAdView = (AdView) this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

and IMPORT

 import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

in the fragment of activity res/layout/activity_fun_facts:

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-9612930312281873/7612468945"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

in Android Manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I hard two errors....first, one of my imports was missing something...gms, I think. Next I didn't have the private AdView mAdView;

Now to add Analytics ;-)

public static class AdFragment extends Fragment {

        private AdView mAdView;

        public AdFragment() {

        }
        @Override
        public void onActivityCreated(Bundle bundle) {
            super.onActivityCreated(bundle);
            mAdView = (AdView) getView().findViewById(R.id.adView);
            AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
            mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

        }
