title: Is it necessary to use com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity on android app?
body: <p>I am setting the use of a banner ad for my android app. I've followed the official doc at: <a href="https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start" rel="noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start</a> </p>
  
  <p>The doubt I want to clearify is that some tutorials over the internet say that you need to add the code bellow in android manifest:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/&gt;
     &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/&gt;
  
  
     &lt;meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
             android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/&gt;
  
      &lt;activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
       android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|
                         screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The official doc doesn't state anything about that, so what then? Will my ads work properly without that?</p>
