As Ted says, the list view may be taking up all available real-estate. Even with wrap_content, if the list is populated with a lot of data before the adView populates, the adView will not be able to expand and place the ad.

Unless you do what I did and hard code it's height to about 50dp. Not very elegant, but still effective.
