Android+Admob: Error: String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value(etc...)

Question

My previous question got closed by a moderator, so please read this: The other threads do not resolve the problem. I have read them and tried everything.

I'm trying to get AdMob to work in my Android app. I'm making a new question because I already followed the advice of previous threads.

• I'm using Appcelerator Titanium.

• Android API is set to 4.0.3 in Run Configurations inside Titanium.

• I've set <uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="15" android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

• <android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

• I've ran a Clean on my project

• I've set target=android-15 in both default.properties and project.properties

Getting this error:

[ERROR] /Users/Path/build/android/AndroidManifest.xml:13: error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 'keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize').

What am I doing wrong/What is causing this? Thank you.

Please post a few lines of code around your AndroidManifest.xml line 13 – Swipple

I may have missed it, but has the API level 16 SDK already been released? I can't seem to find it in my SDK Manager or in the list on d.android.com. Perhaps you meant to write API level 15, since that matches your Android 4.0.3 run configuration? – Philous

You're right, it's level 15. (Changing it to level 15 doesn't work either though) – Adjunct

did you find any solution? I have the same problem on Phonegap – Phrasing

which version of the ti.admob module are you using? I just got this working the other day once using admob module 2.0 and setting api level to 15. For some reason the 2.0.1 version just would not cooperate – Wiese

I had the exact same problem and was able to solve by downloading the latest Admob SDK from google: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/download

After downloading, navigate to your project folder > modules > ti.admob > (version number) > lib. Remove the current .jar file and replace it with the one in the latest admob SDK.
