The Ad control uses the Google Play Service library in Android.
In order to use an Ad control, you must:

install Google Play Service in the Android SDK.
To do so, start the SDK Manager and check whether "Google Play Services", found in the add-ons, is installed properly.
specify the identifier of the ad group when generating the Android application.

Attention: The display of AdMob ads in an application is subject to a certain number of rules (number of ads visible at a time, location of ads, etc.).. For more details, see https://support.google.com/admob/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&answer=1307237&topic=1307235&ctx=topic

AdMob identifier of the ad group
