If you do not see these libraryes, open your SDK manager FROM ANDROID STUDIO and install libraries from that

Make sure to click the "Sync Project with Gradle Files" button before you proceed

Open up AndroidLaunches.java

Change "extends AndroidApplication" to "extends FragmentActivity"

Create a new class called "GameFragment" in the same package as your AndroidLauncher class

public class GameFragment extends AndroidFragmentApplication { public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { return initializeForView(new Main()); } }

Add the following line of code: GameFragment fragment = new GameFragment();

Right click on res > New directory > Name the new directory "layout"

Right click on layout > New > Layout resource file > Name the new layout main_layout.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/GameView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

Sync Project with Gradle Files, ensure there are no errors so far

Go back to AndroidLauncher

Add the following line of code under super.onCreate() setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);

Add the following line of code under GameFragment declaration: FragmentTransaction tr = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

If you scroll to the top where it says "imports"

Change import android.app.FragmentTransaction; to import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;

Add the following line of code after FragmentTransaction tr declaration tr.replace(R.id.GameView, fragment);

In between where the class begins, and the start of the first method, add the following line of code: AdView adView;

Add the following lines of code immediately after tr.replace() tr.commit();

	adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);

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

	adView.loadAd(adRequest);

Sync Project with Gradle Files Run app. QED ~GG

ADVISORY: In the process of referencing "R.id...." an error may state "R can not be resolved" to fix this, copy all of the code from your android layout.xml. Delete the xml file, sync the project. Create a new .xml file with a different name, sync gradle, clean project, rebuild project then try again
