I've been working on this code where apparently the interstitial and banner ads keep failing to load.
Here's the code for creating the banner adview and adding the newly generated ad units. Also the code for interstitial ads which is supported with an adlistener to see if the ads work..
//Ads ----------------
// Create the adView
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
layout.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
//<!-- Ads Using Google Play Services SDK -->
adView = new AdView(this);
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
adView.setAdUnitId(AD_UNIT_ID);
// Add the adView to it
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
adView.setLayoutParams(params);
layout.addView(mGLSurfaceView);
layout.addView(adView);
setContentView(layout);
//New AdRequest
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
//-----------------------------------------------------Interstitial Add
// Create an Interstitial ad.
interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(AD_INTERSTITIAL_UNIT_ID);
interstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
interstitialAd.show();
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Interstitial Ads loading failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
// Load the interstitial ad.
showInterstitialAds();
public void showInterstitialAds()
{
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
AdRequest interstitialAdRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
interstitialAd.loadAd(interstitialAdRequest);
}
});
}
In the app, all I get is the Toast message declaring that the interstitial ads don't work. Even the banner ads don't work.
On the logcat, I get different messages:
I last got:
01-17 16:54:05.765: I/Ads(1136): No fill from ad server.
01-17 16:54:05.769: I/Ads(1136): Scheduling ad refresh 60000 milliseconds from now.
01-17 16:54:05.769: W/Ads(1136): Failed to load ad: 3
and there's this:
01-17 16:52:02.945: I/Ads(1136): Starting ad request.
01-17 16:52:02.945: I/Ads(1136): Use AdRequest.Builder.addTestDevice("A55B0AA295150C0583B3FADA0B02054B") to get test ads on this device.
I tried the above in the showInterstitialAds but I kept receiving that same error and ads didn't show.
Also, the most interesting one is:
There was a problem getting an ad response. ErrorCode: 2
With different numbers on the errocode: 0,2,3. I'm not sure what it means as I'm new to the whole android world (I just started coding a few months ago.)
Banner ads aren't loading because there are no ads available. That's what "No fill from ad server means". It happens occasionally especially when your traffic is low.
To test you should be configuring your AdView to show test ads.
See https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest.Builder.html#addTestDevice(java.lang.String)
Hard to say what is going wrong with your interstitial.
Are you using the correct AdUnitId?
Also never call interstitial#show() from onAdLoaded(). It' provides a very bad user experience and will probably get your account banned.
Instead you should call interstial#show() from a natural break point in your app, like at the end of a game level.

I'm trying to implement Google Admob into my app but the test banner isn't even displaying. I've managed to get rid of all debug error messages but still get nothing being display. Could it be hiding in the background? This code is implemented in my OnCreate method after OpenGL initialization. Have followed the guides on Google to the letter. I'm stumped.
MobileAds.initialize(this, new OnInitializationCompleteListener() {
#Override
public void onInitializationComplete(InitializationStatus initializationStatus){}
});
List<String> testDeviceIds = Arrays.asList("8X126XD7X13XD3X8CXE0X2BXA1X67XDX");
RequestConfiguration requestConfiguration
= new RequestConfiguration.Builder()
.setTestDeviceIds(testDeviceIds)
.setMaxAdContentRating(RequestConfiguration.MAX_AD_CONTENT_RATING_G)
.build();
MobileAds.setRequestConfiguration(requestConfiguration);
adView = new AdView(this);
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111"); // ANDROID TEST ID
AdRequest adrequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
adView.loadAd(adrequest);
I've run adrequest.isTestDevice(this) and it comes back as TRUE so my device seems to be working. I'm testing on a real device (Sony Xperia XZ). Any ideas??
I run my app with android studio, but my add doesn't appear...
Every time I run my app no ads appear and I get this error message in Logcat:
"There was a problem getting an ad response. ErrorCode: 0 Failed to
load ad:0"
Here is my MainActivity.java
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MobileAds.initialize(MainActivity.this, "ca-app-pub-4760206671218452~8890405785");
mAdview = findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).build();
mAdview.loadAd(adRequest);
mAdview.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"RKAd Loaded",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Code to be executed when an ad finishes loading.
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Ad Failed to load",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Code to be executed when an ad request fails.
}
#Override
public void onAdOpened() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Ad Opened",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Code to be executed when an ad opens an overlay that
// covers the screen.
}
#Override
public void onAdLeftApplication() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Ad Left Application",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Code to be executed when the user has left the app.
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"RKAd Closed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Code to be executed when when the user is about to return
// to the app after tapping on an ad.
}
});

I have on the screen Ad Failed to load. I created my Admob account yesterday, but the ad doesn't display :(
1. If your account is new please wait 2-3 Hours, it will automatically start showing ads.
About this issue google say:
"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 you have to wait for a few hours.

2. After that if still does not started showing ads, probably you forgot to setup payment settings. So You have to complete that.
i use this for testing an ad
AdView adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.setRequestAgent("android_studio:ad_template").build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
and in the ads xml (banner test id)
ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111"
if you want to test your own ad you have to change the id and the tag on setRequestAgent
.setRequestAgent("myapp").build();
As we know, google requires us to use test device and test ad unit id, when we develop the app. However, I want to know that if there exists anyway that I can
see the real ad, because I am afraid that no ad will show after I change the code and ad id before release. I have successfully seen test ad, and then I changed the code and ad id, and then submit my app to beta testing, but the tester said that no ad was shown, is it normal, or I have made some mistake in my code or ad unit id.
Thank you for your help!
Below is my ad-related code, and I have changed the ad id
mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
You can use actual ad unit id even for development, but your test devices should be added to the list of TEST DEVICES when you build your ad request.
If it's a valid ad unit id that you are using, you can be sure that ads will appear when you publish your apps. Also, you can check if you are getting hits for your ad unit in Adsense Dashboard.
If you want to be dead sure, you can just try to install the apk on another device, test it, and then publish it when you see the ads.
You can use AdListener and monitor why it is not showing ads . Remember if you have created fresh ad units then it will take some time or few hours to arrange live ads for it . If test ads are showing and you have valid ad unit id and also your app has not violated any policy then you are good to go (You will be emailed if your app have a policy issue) . Ads will be shown when availabe.
AdView adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest1 = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest1);
adView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Code to be executed when an ad finishes loading.
Log.i("Ads", "onAdLoaded");
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
// Code to be executed when an ad request fails.
switch (errorCode){
case AdRequest.ERROR_CODE_INTERNAL_ERROR:
Toast.makeText(PlayListsActivity.this,"onAdFailedToLoad banner ERROR_CODE_INTERNAL_ERROR",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case AdRequest.ERROR_CODE_INVALID_REQUEST:
Toast.makeText(PlayListsActivity.this,"onAdFailedToLoad banner ERROR_CODE_INVALID_REQUEST",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case AdRequest.ERROR_CODE_NETWORK_ERROR:
Toast.makeText(PlayListsActivity.this,"onAdFailedToLoad banner ERROR_CODE_NETWORK_ERROR",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case AdRequest.ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL:
Toast.makeText(PlayListsActivity.this,"onAdFailedToLoad banner ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
Log.i("Ads", "onAdFailedToLoad");
}
#Override
public void onAdOpened() {
// Code to be executed when an ad opens an overlay that
// covers the screen.
Log.i("Ads", "onAdOpened");
}
#Override
public void onAdLeftApplication() {
// Code to be executed when the user has left the app.
Log.i("Ads", "onAdLeftApplication");
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Code to be executed when when the user is about to return
// to the app after tapping on an ad.
Log.i("Ads", "onAdClosed");
}
});
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.
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.
