Hi folks ... I hit this same issue on a project I was trying at home.  I'll try 
to release the Mono library for the current Google AdMob SDK soon, but I need 
to get the instructions written up first as manifest changes and including the 
JAR file are stil required.  If you are in a rush to apply this, then the 
following resources allowed me to accomplish wrapping the Google AdMob JAR for 
use within a MonoDroid application, and may provide a working sample.

Fetch the latest SDK and read how to use it in java here:
http://code.google.com/mobile/ads/docs/android/fundamentals.html

        NB: Apply the required activity and permissions changes as per these 
instructions to your android manifest.

Read the "Letting C# Talk To Java" section of this (now out-dated) page:
http://www.gregshackles.com/2011/02/using-admob-in-a-monodroid-application/
        NB: This show the basic technique quite well and this will allow 
something as simple as embedding AdMobs.  Particularly note the fact that the 
JAR will need to be marked as a Java Source File, as will any wrapper .java 
files you might create.
        NB: His GitHub project appears to have been maintained, so it probably 
contains a more current example.  I don't have time to check if that is all 
working, but it is available here:
        
https://github.com/gshackles/Sample-Projects/tree/master/MonoDroid/AdMobTest 

Note also that one of the easiest ways to retrieve the information you need for 
JNIEnv declarations is using the JAVAP tool.  Off the top of my head I think 
the syntax required here was this:
        Javap -classpath GoogleAdMobsSdk-4.0.4.jar -s WHATEVERCLASSNAME

So to access the AdView class details this would be:
        Javap -classpath GoogleAdMobsSdk-4.0.4.jar -s com.google.ads.AdView

It is worth noting that JAR files are fundamentally still zip files, so you can 
copy, rename and open one to see the directory structure inside.

I'll send an email to the list when my AdMob wrapper library project is 
available with instructions.

I hope some of this is helpful to other people working with Java libraries on 
MonoDroid too.

Regards,

Subject: [mono-android] Google Mobile Analytics interface

I found that there is a MonoTouch interface to Google Mobile Analytics.  Is
anyone working on a MonoAndroid version?

Thanx.
