Correctly disable AdMob ads

In your layout file (eg, main.xml) :

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:id="@+id/adsContainer">

    <com.admob.android.ads.AdView 
        android:id="@+id/admobAds" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
        app:backgroundColor="#000000" 
        app:primaryTextColor="#FFFFFF" 
        app:secondaryTextColor="#CCCCCC">

</LinearLayout>

Then in your code (eg, inside a “if” block)

(LinearLayout) adscontainer = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.adsContainer);

View admobAds = (View) findViewById(R.id.admobAds);

adscontainer.removeView(admobAds);

This will “permanently” (for the lifecycle of the app) remove the ads from the layou, which means that there will not be any ads requested.
