I implement Admob in one of my android application. First time it has a banner add bellow of my application. But after adding banner ad in RecylearView after 8 items then problem occurs. 90% cases it returns response code 3.
Maximum time it showing me:
I/Ads: No fill from ad server.
W/Ads: Failed to load ad: 3
Here response code: 3 means The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory. But other apps showing ads frequently in same device.
Notes:
It showing demo ad when i test in TestDevice
Problem occurring only non test devices
Rare cases it successfully return ad.
Can anyone please help me to recover from this issue.Is there any issue in my ad_unit or adMob?
Here my code is correct. The issue is that AdMob does not always have an ad to return for every request. This may happen particularly if you have just registered your AdMob publisher ID, as it takes some time and multiple requests before the new ID starts returning ads.
Another reason your fill rate may be low is that you don't have AdSense backfill enabled, or you have filtered out some ads. Check your app settings to see if that is the case.
According to documentation :-
public static final int ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL
The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.
Constant Value: 3
Which means:-
If you are getting this error, then your code is correct. The issue is
that AdMob does not always have an ad to return for every request.
This may happen particularly if you have just registered your AdMob
publisher ID, as it takes some time and multiple requests before the
new ID starts returning ads.
Another reason your fill rate may be low is that you don't have
AdSense backfill enabled, or you have filtered out some ads. Check
your app settings to see if that is the case.
Thanks :)

I am using already working AdunitId and error code 3.
Other apps with this AduntId is working fine.
Here is my code.
adView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.ads);
adrequest =new AdRequest.Builder().build ;
adView.loadAd(adrequest);
Error Code 3 : ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL
Description (Dev Docs Link) : The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.
Why is it Happening : Advertisers can target specific regions, platforms and user profiles based on business relevance, which can sometimes result in lower availability of Ads for a particular region or user profile. Error code suggests that the implementation is correct, and that the Ad Request was not filled because of lack of availability of a suitable Ad at that particular instant of time when an Ad Request was sent from the app.

I am using admob Interstitial ads in one of my app and getting a huge difference in Requests and Impressions. With 1.1 million requests I'm getting only 256K impressions. I generally load an Interstitial ad when user clicks the back button. Is my code placement wrong or what could be the possible reason behind this? I am using admob only, no mediation.
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
if(interstitialAd.isLoaded()){
interstitialAd.show();
}
else{
finish();
}
}
Yep, I had the same issue at first. You said that you load the Ad when the user clicks the back button.
Always load the ad at the beginning of the activity so that when the click method gets activated, the Ad is already available.
My ad is now at 99.73 percent after I made that change.
Good luck :)
I hope you get the point
Ad requests are the number of times the app requested ads from AdMob.
Ad impressions are the number of times at least 1 pixel of the ads are shown at the app.
There are always a difference between those metrics due to many cases like slow internet connection at which user wouldn't be served or shown the ads even though the ad requests are made to AdMob. Hence you see the difference.
The request is an attempt to show an ad. Potential advertisers may buy or not this particular requests, it could be filled with an ad or not.
The impression is counted after the ad has been delivered to the user's browser.
I am unable to load DFP ads in Nexus 7 tablet device. I am getting failed message:
Ad request successful, but no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory
Using SMART_BANNER adsize I have tested on some smart phones(Google nexus,nexus 5,s3,s4) and Samsung 10 tablet, it works perfectly in all devices but in Nexus 7 ad failed to load due to the lack of ad inventory.
My xml code snippet
<com.google.ads.doubleclick.DfpAdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="MY_AD_UNIT_ID"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>

When I try to test the Admob api I get the following error in my logcat.
Ad failed: com.google.ads.AdView{40db6b18 V.E..... ......I. 0,0-480,610 #7f070001 app:id/adView}Ad request successful, but no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory.
Admob can return a blank ad (depends on targeting, user preferences etc), there is a fill rate in admob less then 100%, my suggestion to you - create some "house ads" that will return when you ads are blank.
*Or simply add some test ads, as i remember you can find such a feature in admob.
Your Logcat showing (no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory). It Clearly means that admob is not serving any advertisement to your app at that time.
It is probably because of the fill rate.
You can use AdSense to help backfill ads when AdMod does not have any available.
i just want to know if this problem is server side...or i must fix something in my code...

I'm using admob with adwhirl to show ads in my android application.
If you are getting this error, then your code is correct. The issue is that AdMob does not always have an ad to return for every request.

Finally, a test you can run to see if your AdWhirl code is implemented correctly is to request a test ad. You can do this by specifying test mode in AdWhirl:
AdWhirlTargeting.setTestMode(true);
If you get back a test ad, you'll know your code is working as intended.
One of the solutions you could try:
Some times this will happened if you changed language of your Android device to exotic language (Russian for example). Try to change it back to English and AdMob will find appropriate ad for you. Or you could go to the Google Settings->Ads->Reset advertising ID
I've just found that such error is shown if your AdMob account has been banned. But it works with a test device ID.
Note that this might happen aswell if you're using (forcing) a custom width and height for the banners.
You should use the ones that DOC states:
https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/intermediate#play
If you set a custom width and height like:
new AdSize( 521,300 );
It's going to reply with the error you mentioned.
I know this was from long time ago, but here's something i did which solved this problem.
1. on your admob account, click on "manage settings" in the app you've created.
2. click on "edit".
3. under "Android Package URL:" leave blank, and then save settings.
*after you'll save, it'll show this box as "market://", which is fine.
I had this problem when using Rewarded Interstitial (beta).
Changing to Rewarded solved the problem.
