Hello,

You can simply add xmlns:ads property to your AdView element, like:

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
    android:id="@+id/adView"

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

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_conterHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
       app:adSize="BANNER"
    app:adUnitId="@string/AdMobID"
/>

Then open the strings.xml file in Resources/values/. Then add following AdMobID key and value is your id from google console.

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">AppADMob</string>
    <string name="action_settings">Settings</string>


    <string name="AdMobID">your id</string>


   
</resources>

In the end, rebuild your project, this error will disappear.
