private AdView adView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    // Instantiate an AdView object. 
    // NOTE: The placement ID from the Facebook Monetization Manager identifies your App.
    // To get test ads, add IMG_16_9_APP_INSTALL# to your placement id. Remove this when your app is ready to serve real ads.

    adView = new AdView(this, "IMG_16_9_APP_INSTALL#YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID", AdSize.BANNER_HEIGHT_50);

    // Find the Ad Container
