            android:id="@+id/comment_container"/>

    </RelativeLayout>


</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

And this is the acivity layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

     //Container for toolbar    
    <include layout="@layout/post_toolbar"/>

    //Container for fragment    
    <include layout="@layout/share_layout"/>


</FrameLayout>

I really can't figure out why the height is 0dp. Please can you help me?

According to Admob docs/guidelines

The ad view require to be of full width of the device. Since you give the padding to your layout it fails because it can't fill full width of the layout.

You just have to remove the padding in your RelativeLayout to fix this
