title: Admob ads not visible with app using webview and progressbar
body: <p>I have tried making an app for my website with a webview and progressbar, the visibility of the webview remains hidden till the page loads. Now I have tried adding google admob banner ad at the botton and it isn't showing up, I am using a relativelayout and the ad shows in preview of xml, but not in app.</p>

  <p>Any help as to why it isn't working will be appreciated, I have tried going through all the posts here, adding progresbar and webview in a linear layout, setting adviews visibility to visible but nothing works.</p>
