From the Apps option create App

If your app is already in play store then select YES otherwise NO.

Then provide app information and click ADD.

Then you will get an App ID. Copy it. You will need it later.

Now open your Android app project and paste this below code inside application section. Now paste your app id.

 <activity
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation
       |screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />

 <meta-data
     android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
     android:value="Add App Id here" />

<activity

android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation

|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />

<meta-data

android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"

android:value="Add App Id here" />

Then click on CREATE AD UNIT and you will find three ad types. Only Banner and Interstitial types will be used here.

Select Banner type. Provide Ad unit name and click on CREATE AD UNIT.

Copy Banner Ad unit id and save it .You will need it later.

Now open your android app project and open activity_main.xml and paste below xml code.

 <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="here paste unit id">
    </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

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

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

ads:adSize="BANNER"

ads:adUnitId="here paste unit id">

</com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

Open MainActivity.java file and put below code. Here also put app Id.

package com.simplifiedtutorials.testads;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {



    AdView mAdview;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_interview_question);
  
      MobileAds.initialize(this,"put app Id here");
      AdView mAdview =(AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
      AdRequest adRequest =new AdRequest.Builder().build();
      mAdview.loadAd(adRequest);

  }
}

package com.simplifiedtutorials.testads;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

setContentView(R.layout.activity_interview_question);

MobileAds.initialize(this,"put app Id here");

AdView mAdview =(AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);

AdRequest adRequest =new AdRequest.Builder().build();

mAdview.loadAd(adRequest);

}
