Answer 1

You just need to have something like this in your activity :

 AdView adView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
 AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
 adView.loadAd(adRequest);     

A view with your add :

<RelativeLayout> 
 ...
    <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"
        android:id="@+id/adView">
    </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

</RelativeLayout> 

The ad activity in your AndroidManifest.xml :

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

And don't forget the permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Store your Ad Unit ID in your strings.xml file. The ID below is just for testing, make sure to change it before you publish your app.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>    
    <string name="banner_ad_unit_id">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111</string>
</resources>

Check all this and it should works.
