Step 6: Adding showAds() method
Before adding showAds() method, you should import the Google Mobile Ads package
com.google.android.gms.ads in the main activity:

import com.google.android.gms.ads.*;

Then, declare a few variables as below. AdView is a view that will hold the Admob html5
ads, replace <YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID> with your admob unit ID.
AdView av;
LinearLayout layout;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams adParams;
String MY_AD_UNIT_ID = "<YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID>" ;
Here is the implementation snippet:
public void showAds(){

try {

layout = new LinearLayout( this );
addContentView(layout,

new Layout-

Params(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

//creates the adView to load admob html5 ads
av = new AdView( this , AdSize.BANNER, MY_AD_UNIT_ID);
