Where the problem
thanks in advance
i think you have just forgot to load the interstitial ad
before
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(
AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).build();
after
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(
AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).build();
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
You've correctly setup your InterstitialAd, but you didn't load anything to it. Your adRequest2 only loads the data for your banner ad, the mAdView.
That said, you seemingly has also correctly setup another AdRequest for your interstitial; you might just forgot to load it. So, all you need to do is to call this code:
mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);

I am creating an app and want to add some Google Ads to the main page. I followed all the steps that Google says and don't have any warnings or error, but when I run the app, there isn't any ads.
This is the MainActivity code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private FragmentTabHost tabHost;
private AdView mAdView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//adds
MobileAds.initialize(this, "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713");
mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
}
This is the xml code of the mainActivity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

And I added all dependencies and repositories I had to add.
When I run just appear a label which says "Test Ad", but should appear something more.
The codes that i am using are the example codes that Google provides.
Thanks
please add net work permission in manifests
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
change your code
mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
with
mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView)
AdRequest adRequest = AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).build()
mAdView .loadAd(adRequest )
update
log the error code
mAdView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
Log.d("Error code",errorCode.toString());
}
}
and check the error code here
https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest#ERROR_CODE_INTERNAL_ERROR
Update
in your gradle
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1'
Add end of your build.gradle(Module:APP)
repositories {

}
try to update ads dependency

My Admob Banner ad in not loading.
Toast displays that "Banner add is loaded".
I tried many other solutions provided on stackoverflow but none seemed to work for me.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private AdView mBannerAd;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mBannerAd = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.banner_ad);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice("A5E3E2068BD88202CBC281AD7XXXXXXX")
.build();
mBannerAd.loadAd(adRequest);
mBannerAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Closing the Banner Ad", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Banner Ad is loaded", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Assuming that:-
You have complete the steps mentioned here to display a test ad
successfully
This is not a test ad but an actual ad unit.
You have replaced test ad unit ID with the actual ad unit ID
If these steps are done, then It will take an hour or two to get your ad unit displayed in the app.
Your code looks fine. You should remove the test devices, addTestDevice, though:
Change:
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice("A5E3E2068BD88202CBC281AD7XXXXXXX")
.build();
to:
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
Initialize MobileAds in onCreate() like this:
MobileAds.initialize(MainActivity.this,"YOUR_APP_ID));
When I run it it gives a java heap space error and again it give message "your project contain errors please fix them before running" and again message display related to "an internal error occured please close workbench". I also use the test id of mobile but same error occurs each time.

Try to set adUnitId from dynamicly, e.g.
<uradreference>.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-7409237681170791/6275305467");
also try with ads:adSize="BANNER" first! It should work.
I am trying to check how admob works.

I have included google_play_lib into my app.
I have my addUnitId : ca-app-pub-4493438885ds9958768/7749751738
Here my banner is not shown up within app.
Only error I am recieving is : The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.
Even though I have configured with in app.
Can some one help me out what's I extra need to do ?
Thanks.
UPDATE
I am receiving ads after time lapse of 3-4 hours. Can't understand why this behavior occurs ??
Does your code request an Ad? If not then you won't get any ads.
And if you are requesting ads, then you will see evidence of that in the logs as well as the result of the request. Look at your log.
Note also that android:layout_alignParentBottom is not valid for a View within a LinearLayout
Add this in your code:
AdView adView = (AdView) view.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
.build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
I'm a beginner,I'm trying to set an admob add in my app.But I have some errors witch I can't manage.

}
#Override

when Activity start this type error occur onFailedToReceivedAd(InvalidAdRequest).
I don't know what is the problem.
You are not loading the AdRequest which has the test devices registered. Change your code to:
//....
main.addView(adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
adRequest.addTestDevice("TEST_DEVICE_ID");
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
In your relativelayout that contains the adview, are you appending the content layout after the adview. If so, what are the android:layout_width and android:layout_height values. If you are using fill_parent/match_parent for both, then your adview will never show.
The trick is to change the relativelayout to the linearlayout. Then for the content layout within this linearlayout, set its android:layout_width="fill_parent" and android:layout_height="0dp". Add a new attribute android:layout_weight="1" for the content layout. What these does is to ask the content layout to accomodate the remaining space of linearlayout after the adview has occupied its place. Hope this helps.
