Could not find class 'com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
Could not find class 'com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
I'm using Android Studio. I have added the googleAdMobAdsdk6-4-1.jar to the project in my previously added libs folder. I can expand the library file and actually navigate to the AdView class. It compiles with no problem but when I run it It crashes. Any assistance appreciated.

Admob is now integrated into Play Services. You should use this in new projects going forward. developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/play-migration

Your XML references com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView (see stacktrace) which is contained in the Google Play Services library and is how Admob is now packaged.
But your have included Admob-6.4.1 whcih is the old Admob SDK and the Admob classes there are in a different package and have slightly different signatures.
Remove Admob-6.4.1 from your project and use Google play Services instead.
See https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/fundamentals#play
I have done that but now I am getting an error "The Google Play services resources were not found" I am using android studio and all responses about this error on the net are for eclipse.

William I have tried that but my Project Structure dialog box has no "Import module" menu option. It only has "+" sign which opens up a New Module dialog. Im using android 0.3.7.

Sorry that was a poor link. You want to add the Play Services library as a dependency of your module. See the "Adding existing libraries to module dependencies" section of jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/…

Remove the jar from your libs folder (That sdk is now deprecated). You should use Google play services.
After removing the jar. Clean your project and add the following under dependencies in your app level build.gradle.
dependencies
build.gradle
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0'
Sync your project as prompted after which you should be good to go.

I don't know how it is in Android Studio, but in Eclipse you should click right on project ->Properties->Android and on the bottom add library. Maybe in Android Studio is similar
