Project setup

Open the AndroidManifest.xml and add the following inside the <application> tag:

<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
          android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
