Compressing a bitmap to JPG format Android example

First: AdView is in XML file

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
    xmlns:ads="//schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/adView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ads:adUnitId="MY_AD_UNIT_ID"
    ads:adSize="BANNER"/>

// onResume
AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
    .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
    .addTestDevice("TEST_DEVICE_ID")
    .build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);

Second: Using AdView in Fragment with LinearLayout
Resolve error in ADT Graphical layout editor:
The following classes could not be instantiated:
- com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView

// layout in xml file
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/layout"
              android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

// java class with fragment in Fragment class or in Activity class
private static AdView adView;
        @Override
		public void onResume(){  
                super.onResume();
                 try {
                	 // in xml is empty layout
					adView = new AdView(getActivity());
					adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-626/638103xxxxxxx");
					adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);  
					
                	                LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)getView() .findViewById(R.id.layout);
					layout.addView(adView);
					
					AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();   
					adView.loadAd(adRequest);

				} catch (Exception e) {
					// TODO Auto-generated catch block
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
        }

How add item to ArrayList, sort ArrayList, search find index of item in ArrayList, min(), max() Java basic example.

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;

public class MainClass {
	public static void main(String[] arg) {
		String[] arrayOfString = {"nothing", "Hello", "people"
				, "bye-bye", "hello", "world!", "End" };
		   ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
            for(String s: arrayOfString)
		     arrayList.add(s);

		    Collections.sort(arrayList);
		    // foreach
		    for (String str: arrayList)
		      System.out.println(str);
		    
		    Object objMin = Collections.min(arrayList);
		    System.out.println("Min is: " + objMin);
		    
		    Object objMax = Collections.max(arrayList);
		    System.out.println("Max is: " + objMax);
		    
		    int index = Collections.binarySearch(arrayList, "people");
		    System.out.println("Index of people is: " + index);
		    
		  }

/*
End
Hello
bye-bye
hello
nothing

world!
Min is: End
Max is: world!
Index of people is: 5

Invalid proguard configuration file path
C:\documents\my_android_projects\my_project\proguard.cfg does not exist or is not a regular file

Solution:
Check if exist file proguard.cfg in your project on the path C:\docum.........
If not exist, copy a file proguard.cfg from other project or create file proguard.cfg and insert
this source code to file and save this file.
