I just do not see where to install 13 from SDK manager, but android 3.2 wouldn't that keep my app from working on a lot of devices?

Thanks

I can help you.
This your error happens when you are using lower Android SDK version.
As Erel wrote in tutorial:


You have 2 options: (I recomend to you first one)
1.) Update your Android SDK to level 13 or above
2.) Add this line in your manifest and delete this one with error:

Replace:

B4X:

<!-- *** For AdMob: manually added *** -->
        <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
              android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

With this one:

B4X:

<!-- *** For AdMob: manually added *** -->
        <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
              android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"/>
