Answer 1

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"

screenSize & smallestScreenSize attributes are not available in SDK 10.They are been introduced in API level 13.

Answer 2

• Make sure you have the latest copy of the Android SDK and that you're compiling against at least Android v3.2 (set target in project.properties to android-13).
• The Google Mobile Ads SDK for Android requires a run-time of Android 2.3 or later (set android:minSdkVersion to at least 9 in your AndroidManifest.xml). This means you can develop with the latest version of the Android SDK and your app will still run on an earlier Android version (2.3 minimum).
