I am trying to set the width and height of a view in code to show an ad for a free app I am working on. All of the UI is done in XML with the exception of this ad. Here is the code that displays the ad. It is in `onCreate`.

    AdView adView = new AdView(this,&quot;ad_url&quot;,&quot;my_ad_key&quot;,true,true);
    LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.testing);
    adView.setAdListener(this);
    layout.addView(adView);

This results in the ad being displayed like this. As you can see the width doesn&#39;t quite fill the whole page.

![enter image description here][1]

Now when I change the code to this to attempt to set the size:

    AdView adView = new AdView(this,&quot;ad_url&quot;,&quot;my_ad_key&quot;,true,true);
    LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.testing);
    adView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 
                           LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    adView.setAdListener(this);
    layout.addView(adView);

I get this:

![enter image description here][2]

I have tried all different combinations of `FILL_PARENT` and `WRAP_CONTENT` all with the same result. Is there something I am missing? Or another way I can have the ad fill the width of the device without filling the height? Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated.

*EDIT* when I try to put it in XML I get an exception:

    &lt;LinearLayout
    xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;
   	android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
   	android:layout_height=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
   	android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot;
   	android:id=&quot;@+id/main_layout&quot;&gt;
   	
    &lt;fragment
        android:name=&quot;com.jasoncrosby.app.tipcalculatorfree.MainButtonFragment&quot;
	android:id=&quot;@+id/button_frag&quot;
        android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
        android:layout_height=&quot;fill_parent&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;com.adsdk.sdk.banner.AdView
        android:id=&quot;@+id/banner&quot;
        android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
        android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;/&gt;
    
    &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
