Answer 1

I've been testing this, and some changes are required in order to get this working through Google Play Services.

In first place you should remove all imports referencing to old com.google.ads.* , since they are now located on com.google.android.gms.ads.*.

As you mentioned, some more changes need to be done:

You cannot instantiate an AdRequest the way it used to be done, but using an AdRequest.Builder as follows:

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

Also, make sure you replace the name of the package on all layouts, so they call instead of .

I think that's all. Good luck!
