I add AdMob ads to my app (which is not published in play store)
but for some reason it only shows test ads and not real ones
In the control panel of AdMob indicates that ad requests are 0
Until you publish your app on play store, real ads will not be visible to you. And after releasing on play store also, it takes 5-6 hours to load real ads. So you can release your app on internal, alpha or beta channel to make real ads visible. One more important thing is that if your test ads are visible that means you have done the coding right because test ads also use the same channel as the real ones.
If it shows test Ads that is great, use the test ads to finish your app. Once you are done publish your app Make sure to replace the ad unit id to the correct one, it takes some time 6 to 24 hrs it really depends, but it will definitely work if you used the correct ids

I published an android application and it has banner ads.
when application published on google play store banner ads display in application but after one week banner ads disappears.
what is the problem then ? and how to solve it ?
Most probably, admob has placed limits on your account. If your app is new, this is not uncommon. Make sure the implementation of your app is correct (for ads), and wait for a few days. If you are not indulged in any activities that violate Google's ad policies, the ads will start displaying again. It may take upto a month. Also, please consider reading about things on the web first before asking on StackOverflow
Banner ads will only show on App installed through Play Store and wait for a minute to let it load ads(this solved the above described problem once that I was too facing)
I know there's a lot of questions regarding this issue, but they don't fit my specific case.
I have an app in Google Admob with 2 ad units (banner and interstitial). I am using that app from Admob for 5 different apps in the Play Store.
So I use the same App ID, Banner ID, Interstitial ID for all apps in the Play Store, as I use the same app from Google Admob.
It works like a charm for these 5 apps.
Now I want to publish another app and I tried to do the exact same thing, so I used the same ad implementation for the ads and again the same App ID, Banner ID, Interstitial ID. (I simply copied all code from the other apps)
But this time, no ads appear. I'm already waiting for ca. 2 weeks for them to appear. One single time I had "luck" and an ad appeared (for whatever reason), but besides that single time, an ad was never shown.
If I use the Test Ad IDs from Admob, all Test ads show. So the implementation is correct.
The Logcat however shows two errors:
Ad failed to load : 3 and Ad failed to load : 1 (mostly it's error 3 though)
I looked them up and they mean:
3 means that there are no ads filled, so everything is correct, but Admob doesn't have any ads they want me to display right now.
1 means that there are some ID errors (e.g. banner ID for the interstitial).
But, to me, both don't make any sense: How don't they have any ads to display when they have always ads to display for the other 5 apps? I mean it's the same app in Google Admob.
And how can there be an ID error when it works with the Test ads and especially it works in the other 5 apps?
I have tried to install the app as a signed APK on my physical device, doesn't change anything (however, on the other apps the ads always appeared even in debugging mode).
So I really don't know what could be the problem in this case. As said, I'm already waiting for 2-3 weeks for the ads to show (and I was using the app constantly throughout that time; so ad requests were made constantly). So I don't think it is a matter of time.
Any help?
I will soon release my first Android application on the Google store. But I have one problem. It shows test ads, but when I change my ad to real one it is not showing. I am using AdMob for ads.
I read in one place that they show 1 or 2 hours AFTER I put my app on store. But if that is not true I can get myself in problems (my app functionalities are bounded to ad showing).
Please someone who has experience tell me is this true (or solve problem different way)
Test ads are always shown on the emulator. If you are using a real device and still get no real ads after a few hours, then search the logcat for "testdevice". Usually, if the AdMob library recognises an emulator or a debug build, it lets you know that it considers this as a test device. You have to use a real device and a signed release version of your app. You can also upload your app to the PlayStore Alpha or Beta channel and test it from there if you want to be 100% sure.
Admob shows real ads if following conditions are met:
See if you have added a payment method in admob console.
Your app needs to be published on play store for showing real ads.
Check your email inbox regularly. Admob asks for personal identification once in a while to resolve it you will need to add your national id card picture.
Sometimes they restrict your ads due to invalid traffic checks.
If your test ads are working it means you have implemented it correctly.
I have an Android application that use Admob to display ads. When I tested the application on my mobile phone before publishing it to the play store every thing was perfect and ads appear normally.
After publishing the app to the play store and download the live version the application doesn't show any ads.
How can I fix the problem ?
This is not your problem. It's a global problem but Google don't say anything about it.
Check these:

I'm adding AdMob ads (say that five times fast) to my finished, published Android app. I added the code from the PDF included with AdMob, following their instructions to a tee. The test ads show up fine on my emulators and specified test devices. They just don't appear in the published marketplace app when you download and run it. I still get impressions on my AdMob page however. Any ideas?
Admob sometimes doesn't have ads to display. This is worse for some apps than others. There are a few things to do to help mitigate this problem:
Enable adsense ads - this gives a larger pool of ads
Ensure that you have house ads available for all of your apps in Admob. That way, if they can't find paying ads, they'll at least show your house ads. This will significantly raise your fill rate, but not directly raise your income (depends on what you do with the house ads).
I know that the admob code does not display anything until it connects to the server and receives an ad. In my app it can take several seconds for the ad to display, but not usually longer than that.
I notice this fairly often with admob on one of my apps, while another seems to serve up ads just fine. Can't figure it out either, but I suspect it has to do with AdMob not having any campaigns that tailor to your application description and keywords.
I'm seeing exactly the same behavior. Does your app perform any network tasks on startup? If so, here is a thread on admob's support group which might provide an explanation:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/admob-publisher-discuss/hR7zs_GBSRw/discussion
Unfortunately for me delaying my app's network activity while waiting for admob isn't really an option, so I wish admob/google would release a fix.
