My app was suspended due to an issue with ads - android

today Google suspended my app saying that my ads violated Google TOS but I don't know what did it actually violate. I think there might be something wrong with my code structure i guess because I tried publishing it two times and in both it got suspended.
In my app I am using a View Pager and inside it I have 4 tabs. So the ads are placed in the View Pager as below
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
app:adUnitId="#string/banner_ad_unit_id" >
</com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
and the code in the View Pager activity
mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
I would be very thankful if someone told me the reason behind the continuous suspension.

Android Admob Integration Doesn't show ad

i've sucessfully integrate Admob in my app . i have my Admob key . but it isn't working . it is not showing ads in app.
This is my XML . this is what i've done so far

.build();
adView.loadAd(request);
Native ads takes time to show. So kindly wait for 2-3 hours. They will pop up automatically. you might created your Account just a minute ago ..

Admob banner visible in preview mode, but not when running

Im trying to add a banner to my Android application, but can't get it to work. The banner is visible in the preview but not when running on my Genymotion device. This is my layout-file:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.my.package.MapsActivity"
tools:layout="#android:layout/list_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="450dip"
tools:context="com.example.my.package.MapsActivity"/>
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="#string/banner_ad_unit_id"/>
</LinearLayout>
And in the Activity-file I have this code:
MobileAds.initialize(mContext, "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxxxx");
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
It does not work with test ads either. What can be wrong?

One thing I would like to say that whenever you create a banner or interstitial than you have to wait for few hours for ads to display on your mobile screen.
Maybe your gmail account used in the Genymotion is the same with admob account. Try change to another gmail in your Genymotion.

Instead of AdView an empty box appear( Android Element Layout Issue)

I'm trying to place AdView to layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout

android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="#string/banner_ad_unit_id"/>
</LinearLayout>
It is showing correct my content and the boxholder in the bottom of view, there is supposed to be an adView, but i see empty box and ads doesnt appear.
In my logs, i see:
Ad finished loading.
W/cr.BindingManager: Cannot call determinedVisibility() - never saw a connection for the pid: 30285
Scheduling ad refresh 30000 milliseconds from now.
Ad finished loading.
Ad is not visible. Not refreshing ad.
What I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance.
Following are possible errors
Your Banner ad unit id is not correct
You have not set ad properly on Google ad mob follow below link
follow this link
If my answer resolve your issue, please vote up
You have set the height of the inner LinearLayout to match_parent. THat will consume all of the available space leaving none for your AdView, so it will think it is not visible. CHange the LinearLayout to:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/home_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
Got answer for my question. XML was correct, just Adblock havent initialized in workflow. To do that, I needed just initialize in activity adMob block in onCreate Action:
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
Also import depreacted libraries:
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;
Thank others for help and suggestions.

Admob banner not shown

I'm facing a strange problem by adding adMob banner to my app.
It's first time i do this with android studio, so i've followed tutorial (the only different thing is the edit of build.gradle file).
I've add banner to layout as always:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/bg_cut"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/banner" />
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/banner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="#string/admob_id" />
</RelativeLayout>
and initialized banner into my activity:
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.banner);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
Now when i launch my app, banner space is empty, and i obtain some warning like
W/Ads﹕ Not enough space to show ad. Needs 360x50 dp, but only has 328x479 dp.
but log told me that banner is loaded correctly:
I/Ads﹕ Scheduling ad refresh 40000 milliseconds from now.
I/Ads﹕ Ad finished loading.
How can i solve this problem?
You will see, successfully:
I/Ads﹕ Scheduling ad refresh 40000 milliseconds from now.
I/Ads﹕ Ad finished loading.
AdMob may or may not complain about "having enough room" but it will not show up if there is padding in the parent view. You need to wrap the views you want to have padding in either another layout or add padding to that particular view directly.
Please remove the padding from the parent layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/bg_cut"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/banner" />
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/banner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="#string/admob_id" />
</RelativeLayout>
In case you're still struggling I've found a working example on http://www.ahotbrew.com/android-studio-admob-banner-and-interstitial-tutorial/
Just click on download code.

Resource Not Found Exception while integrating AdMob

Android 2.3.3
I have followed the steps, found in the this tutorial. When I run the application in my device(mobile), the ads are getting displayed. No Problem here. But when I try to view the activity in my eclipse, I get a blank screen with the NullPointerException. I have taken the screenshot. Please refer to it.
Then, I have clicked on the link, given in the exception's "detail" (SourceFile:670) and I get the following details..
I have clicked on the Add Source, and browsed to the jar file in my application->libs folder. Then I get the following...
Here are my xml and java codes that I have used...

Java
private AdView adView;
adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
Libs
How do i get rid of these exceptions?
Thanks in Advance...
This happens. It's normal. Eclipse can't display custom views sometimes (most of the time actually).
Download the latest SDK. Per the release notes, this was fixed in v6.3.0.
