Can I called loadMethod while Ad is closed/onAdDismissed - AdMob?

I want integrated AdMob into my app. but here is an issue we manually need to reload Ad for showing. I want to try when some close/Dismiss the Ad automatically load again that I called it again onAdDissmissed method. Is this a policy violation? or Is a good programming practice or not?
Here my code oncreate method
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
loadMethodAdMob();
}
load Method
public void loadMethodAdMob() {
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
InterstitialAd.load(this, AD_UNIT_ID, adRequest, new InterstitialAdLoadCallback() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded(#NonNull InterstitialAd interstitialAd) {
// will be null until an ad is loaded.
MyActivity.this.interstitialAd = interstitialAd;
mToast("Ad Loaded");
interstitialAd.setFullScreenContentCallback(new FullScreenContentCallback() {
#Override
public void onAdDismissedFullScreenContent() {
MyActivity.this.interstitialAd = null;
mToast("The ad was dismissed.");
InterstitialAdMob(); // i called it here is this ok
}
#Override
public void onAdShowedFullScreenContent() {
mToast("The ad was shown.");
}
});
}
});
}
button click
public void buttonClickShowAd(){
if (interstitialAd != null) {
interstitialAd.show(this);
} else {
mToast("Ad did not load");
requestForReload();
}
}

You can load n-number of interstitial ads in advance so that it will be available when show method is called. Above code is perfectly fine.
Reference - https://developers.google.com/admob/android/interstitial#some_best_practices
Allow for adequate loading time.
Just as it's important to make sure you display interstitial ads at an appropriate time, it's also important to make sure the user doesn't have to wait for them to load. Loading the ad in advance by calling load() before you intend to call show() can ensure that your app has a fully loaded interstitial ad at the ready when the time comes to display one.
Don't flood the user with ads.
While increasing the frequency of interstitial ads in your app might seem like a great way to increase revenue, it can also degrade the user experience and lower clickthrough rates. Make sure that users aren't so frequently interrupted that they're no longer able to enjoy the use of your app.
However you might also want to check Disallowed interstitial implementation policy when you load multiple objects in advance.

Unable to load ad using adMob in android

I tried using the testing Id, it displays the ad. Later on I put my own ID but it didn't display any ads.
Code:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_testing);
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(TestAd.this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.adunitid));
AdRequest adRequest=new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
ad.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()){
mInterstitialAd.show();
}
else{
Toast.makeText(TestAd.this, "Ad Not Loaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener(){
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
super.onAdClosed();
}
});
}
});
Java file for initialising:
public class Admob extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
MobileAds.initialize(this, new OnInitializationCompleteListener() {
#Override
public void onInitializationComplete(InitializationStatus initializationStatus) {
}
});
}}
Android Manifest :
android:name="com.test.Admob"
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="#string/appid"/>

First of all, You cannot show the live ads on debug mode,
If it is working with the test ids it should be cool with real ids when you release the app, as well.
But there is one more thing that you can use, I mean to be sure everything is working.
First of all, make every ids real contains the id at the manifest file.
After running your app, open your Logcat and simply write
test
like this,
get that id and update your AdRequest like this
AdRequest adRequest=new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice("id_here").build();
and re-run your app.
Congrats, you can see your ads with your real ids now! hope it helps!
UPDATE:
Old usage looks deprecated thanks #heisenberg3008
as the google suggests current usage should be like this
List<String> testDeviceIds = Arrays.asList("id_here");
RequestConfiguration configuration =
new RequestConfiguration.Builder().setTestDeviceIds(testDeviceIds).build();
MobileAds.setRequestConfiguration(configuration);
it is a one-time thing. So, no need to do that for every ad item, like before

Admob Ads not showing in android application

I created an account at Admob since a month, and i added payment method since 2 days ago.
a test device showing ads successfully. but other devices don't show any thing with error code:3
Ads: Ad failed to load : 3
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements RewardedVideoAdListener {
private AdView adView;
private Button onePlayer, twoPlayer, exit;
private InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MobileAds.initialize(this, getString(R.string.app_id));
MobileAds.initialize(this, initializationStatus -> {
});
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.instruction));
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice("my-device-id").build());
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(InterstitialListener);
adView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice("my-device-id").build());
adView.setAdListener(adListener);
}
}
and i created a listener for InterstitialAd
private AdListener InterstitialListener = new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Code to be executed when an ad finishes loading.
mInterstitialAd.show();
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
// Code to be executed when an ad request fails.
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "errorCode " + errorCode + "", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onAdOpened() {
// Code to be executed when the ad is displayed.
}
#Override
public void onAdClicked() {
// Code to be executed when the user clicks on an ad.
}
#Override
public void onAdLeftApplication() {
// Code to be executed when the user has left the app.
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Code to be executed when the interstitial ad is closed.
}
};
and this is banner xml:
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="#string/banner">
</com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
Note: the app doesn't uploaded to store yet!
how can i fix this problem?

This answer might help someone in future. I had the same problem. Ads were working fine in test devices. But in real device it did not display any ad.
I published my app to google play and downloaded it. In the app downloaded from google play, Ads are showing fine. I did not make any changes to the code
I am not sure why this happens, it's kind of black box.
Some answers in stack overflow says no need to publish app for showing ads. But it was not true in my case.

Your code seems fine.
Are you using this test unit ID for your banner?
ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111
Or are you using the one from your AdMob account?

Ads not displaying using real ad unit id instead of test ad unit id

In my application, I have integrated ads from AdMob. When I use my test unit ID, ca-
app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712, it shows test ads successfully. However, when I use my production ad unit ID, it shows nothing.
In logcat, I see ads loading error code 0. Why are my ads failing to load?
This is the code I am using:
MobileAds.initialize(activity, main_interstial_addunit_id);
final InterstitialAd interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(activity);
interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(main_interstial_addunit_id);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
interstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
if (interstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
interstitialAd.show();
}
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int i) {
super.onAdFailedToLoad(i);
}
#Override
public void onAdLeftApplication() {
super.onAdLeftApplication();
}
#Override
public void onAdOpened() {
super.onAdOpened();
}
});
return interstitialAd;

So, as you are getting error code 0 this means "failed to load ads"
From this conversation,
It could be that you have only recently created a new Ad Unit ID and requesting for live ads. It could take a few hours for ads to start getting served if that is that case. If you are receiving test ads then your implementation is fine. Just wait a few hours and see if you are able to receive live ads then. If not, can send us your Ad Unit ID for us to look into.
So, after some times you will be automatically get ads.
Important: Ad type of your ad unit id needs to be same of ad type where you set that id

How to remove the default interstitial ad from app

public void adShow() {
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-581420244534656/2222222");
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
} else {
requestNewInterstitial();
reseter();
}
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
requestNewInterstitial();
reseter();
}
});
}
private void requestNewInterstitial() {
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice("3D9834hiqewuiry48937498urequE")
.build();
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
}
}
I have tested the use of interstitial in my app using the default ad from google and it's working but now what must i do to make sure that the default orange ad is not displayed to users when I publish my app? I already have the AdUnitId.

So long as you have set a valid Ad unit id from the ad provider you're using, you should get real ads. The reason you most likely aren't seeing real ads is because of the line .addTestDevice("3D9834hiqewuiry48937498urequE") which basically says "Only show me the default orange ad on this device".
So, if you always test your app on the same device, this line is disabling real ads from appearing while you test (which is what you want). But this line will only disable real ads on a single device, the one you're using. On other devices, users will see real ads.
