Ad not loaded after request

I am testing Ads in an Android app.
I want a button to be shown when the ad is loaded, and then click on the button to show the ad.
My issue is that the ad is never loaded.
This is my code so far:
MobileAds.initialize(getActivity(), "ca-app-pub-***");
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(getActivity());
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-ca-app-pub-***");
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
btnOfertar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Code to be executed when an ad finishes loading.
Log.i("Ads", "onAdLoaded");
btnOfertar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});

You should try the following:
mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Add this
mInterstitialAd.show()
Log.i("Ads", "onAdLoaded");
btnOfertar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
Also, try using the dedicated test ad id that Google provides in the documentation: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712. If this loads properly your code should be okay.
Your actual ad might take a while to show up depending on how many requests you're getting to show the ad. Also make sure that your AdMob's payment is set up correctly.

Admob Ad's during Development

My doubt is not weather its ok to click on live ads during development.I did all the formalities to get my admob ad working . Then i saw that we should only use test add during development . so i used this code:
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) // All emulators
.addTestDevice("AC98C820A50B4AD8A2106EDE96FB87D4") // An example device ID
.build();
It worked fine. But then i change i back to the live ad code fearing that i would forget to do so later:
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
But now the ad wont appear during test run. Is that normal?
will the ad work when i finally launch the app?

I dont see anything wrong with your code, but something similar happened to me when implementing admob too.
I didnt have in count that the ad must be loaded before showing it, and that the loading may take some time. If you try to show an ad that its not loaded, a black activity might be shown.
You should implement some waiting time or a listener in order to be sure that the add is loaded before showing it.
public InterstitialAd interstitialAd;
[...]
public void setNewInterstitialRequest()
{
interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(CurrActivity.this);
interstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-***************************");
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
//.addTestDevice("ZY22247DJV")
.build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
//add listener so you know is fully loaded
interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
[...] // <- code you want to execute as soon as the ad is loaded
}
});
}
public void displayAd() {
try {
//verify is loaded before showing a black screen
if (interstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
interstitialAd.show();
}
//else
// showToast("Not loaded");
}
catch (Exception ex){}
}
So taking this in mind, if you want for the ad to be shown inmediately when something happens, you should have it loaded before that event occurs.

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.

Callback is not obtained at onAdLoaded

Iam trying to display ad using Admob,but Iam not getting any call at onAdloaded.Can someone help...
Iam displaying an inerstitial ad.Iam setting and then Iam trying to load it...
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {
super.onCreate(arg0);
CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(getString(R.string.font_alegreya_sans_regular));
setInterstitialAd();
setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen_activity);
}
private void setInterstitialAd() {
mInterstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitial.setAdUnitId(INTERSTITIAL_AD_ID);
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
mInterstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
mInterstitial.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
displayInterstitial();
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
}
});
}
private void initAdView() {
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad_container_layout);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
}

You should'nt have displayInterstitial() inside onAdLoaded(). This is causing the outcome of Ad not being shown. Either show an Ad after some level or user made action like after five level, one is displaying an interstitial, it comes in the pause menu. you keep it loaded from before and display it on the fifth level. or you can have it in that pause menu after some amount of time using a timer ( in which displayInterstitial() ) is included.

Suraj, add some log into both callback methods. One of them will be called.
I suspect the ad request is failing for reason, so onFailedToLoad() will be getting called instead.
Also DON'T call displayInterstitial() from onAdLoaded(). This causes really poor user experience and is likely to get your Admob account banned.

Android Publisher Interstitial Ad displaying after close

My application opens a Publisher InterstitialAd whenever you start but when a user closes it reopens. This process happens constantly and then you can't use application, can anyone help me?
public void getIntertitalAds(boolean isPortraitMode)
{
interstitial = new PublisherInterstitialAd(context);
if(isPortraitMode)
interstitial.setAdUnitId(tags.getAdUnitInterstitial());
else
interstitial.setAdUnitId(tags.getAdUnitInterstitialTablet());
AdListener adListener = new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
super.onAdLoaded();
if(interstitial!=null)
interstitial.show();
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
super.onAdClosed();
interstitial = null;
}
};
// Create ad request.
PublisherAdRequest adRequest = new PublisherAdRequest.Builder()
.build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.setAdListener(adListener);
interstitial.loadAd(adRequest);
}

NEVER call interstitial.show() from AdListener#onAdLoaded(). You have no control over when it will be called and it presents a really poor user experience. Instead call interstitial.show() at a natural break point in your app.
There is no need to have separate AdUnitIds for portrait and landscape. Interstitials are the same regardless.
All the code in your getIntertitalAds() (sic) method should be Activity#onCreate
I strongly suspect your problems stem from a combination of 1 and 3.
