I am working for Admob in Android and I got success in getting test ad. But When I Change My Test UnitId To To Live UnitID something like this "/5479/ctv.abcd.ca/myid" I am getting the warning like "is your unit id correct ?". and also i commented the lines for adding test devices. but still i am not seeing any real adds.
Any Ideas..... Any Better Solution..
LinearLayout lladView = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.addmob, null);
AdView adView = (AdView) lladView.findViewById(R.id.adView1);
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
and my xml is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="/5479/ctv.abcd.ca/myid"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>
</LinearLayout>
You seem to be providing the wrong adUnitId. You have to specify your AdMob publisher ID that can be obtained from the AdMob Sites & Apps -> [Your App Name] -> Manage Settings.

I am testing my application in device it is showing the error in debug logcat what is this error and how to solve this?
The error is
There was a problem getting an ad response. ErrorCode: 1

my code to display the ads is
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
and in manifest file I am adding.the code is working fine but the ads are not displaying I am testing it on my device
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<!--This meta-data tag is required to use Google Play Services.-->
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent" />
Try to use Ad unit ID.
You may mistakenly use the APP ID or PUBLISHER ID.. (Like my mistake)
Sample Ad Unit ID (it contains xxxxx/xxxxx)
ca-app-pub-9390048287444061/3221111032 - correct one
Sample App ID (it contains xxxxx~xxxxx)
ca-app-pub-9390048287444061~1222077830 - wrong one
the issue is solved by adding the ad-Unit Id Other than publisher id and adding the test device id through AdRequest
as you say,
you have done all attempt write all code perfectly in manifest as well as build.gradle file.
this same problem was to me.
so after that i have resolved this problem by correcting my ad-mob unit id and also
it was written in uppercase.so i modify it to lowercase and works perfectly.
This works for me.Hope this help others too!!.
I had the same problem.
I believe Error Code 1 is due to many different reasons, but mine was wrong adSize. I set up for NativeAdExpress, but was giving wrong dimensions in XML, MEDIUM_RECTANGLE worked for my NativeAdExpress view.
try adding below code to you gradle file.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.1.0'
My application was working with android 4.2 and using Admob x.x.x.jar file few days back.
i just configured android sdk 4.4 and i noticed Google play ads are not longer working, also found it should be upgraded as well so what i did following:
Before My XML Was:
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="asdadadasddas"
/>
Today I updated it
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView android:id="#+id/adView"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="asdadadasddas"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
/>
My Manifest
<activity
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version"/>
values => Integer.xml
<integer name="google_play_services_version">5089034</integer>
and it give me following error
Note: I am not using any java code to display it is that necessary?
any help would be appreciated.
I appreciate answers of all developers actually i solved this problem by combining the answers of all so i would like to enter steps here that might help others.
XML Layout:
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-***"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
/>
Two mistakes in my code were:
1) xmlns:ads value was wrong & this mistake pointed out by donfuxx
2) i was using old AdUnitId with following format: a15220c7a5f3775 but in latest AdMob its format is entirely different as used in above example.
Note:
If you use old "ads:adUnitId" it will show blank ad and this was the case with me.
Javacode
Java code is also required
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.build();
AdView adView = (AdView) view.findViewById(R.id.adView);
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
Then again i found another error:
Class not found exception although i had imported the Google Play project in my application.
Then i found an article in which it was mentioned copy Google Play Jar inside your "libs" folder and it will be automatically included in your android private libraries to resolve this issue.
Final Issue
No need to put value in integer.xml inside your app because when you include Google play services project inside your app, it will automatically pick version value out of it in your manifest file.
So these were the issues i faced during migration of adMob and will help others to implement it quickly.
You can still use ads:adSize xml attribute!
However, your xml namespace setting is wrong in the adview element, because it refers to the legacy admob:
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
but since you already use the google play admob, you should use:
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
that is why the ads: attributes were not recognized.
More infos see the official admob migration guide.
You should no longer be setting your adUnitId/adSize in the layout. Instead do:
adView = new AdView(this);
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
adView.setAdUnitId(AD_UNIT_ID);
Layout:
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
And finally,
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
.build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
I put this in my LinearLayout
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="d7fd8f9ghf042k4"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads:testDevices="34HF70000000G501" />
I'm still testing my application, but when I checked my AdMob account, I found out this:
I don't understand, what's happening? Am I getting revenue for clicking my own Ads?
If Yes, how could this happen when I have mentioned this line ads:testDevices="34HF70000000G501" in my XML layout?
The ID you put inside of ads:testDevices needs to be the hashed device ID which is output in LogCat when you load an ad request on the device. It does not work if you use your actual device id.
I did some updates to my application today but now admob dont work right and it gives me an error in the ad saying adview missing xml attribute "adsize". now the changes i made have nothing to do with the ads and they have been the same since I implemented them and worked
this is my xml
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.notify.me.lite"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/mainLayout1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical">
<com.google.ads.AdView android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adUnitId="id"
ads:adSize="BANNER"/>
<WebView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/webView1" android:layout_height="fill_parent"></WebView>
</LinearLayout>
and where its implemented
public class Main extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_webview);
WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
browser.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/about.html");
AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
request.setTesting(true);
adView.loadAd(request);
}
as you can see adsize is there in the xml file so there should be no reason why I should be getting that error. Ideas as to why this is happening all of the sudden?
Google updated the AdMob library but did not yet document the required changes, as per this forum thread
The substance of the change is to update the ads namespace:
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
No idea why its suddenly stoped working but whenever i use Admob i always put it in a seperate layout, with xml like:
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/rLayAdMob"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="50dip">
</RelativeLayout>
Then in the onCreate function i setup the adView like:
adView = new AdView(Menu.this, AdSize.BANNER, MY_AD_UNIT_ID);
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.rLayAdMob);
layout.addView(adView);
I've never had any issues doing it this way, and would only require a small change to your code.
Hope this helps,
Kenny
Been having some trouble trying to integrate the admob sdk into my application to display ads. Im using the AdmobSDK version 4.1.0. I've read loads of posts and there seems to be lacking some decent documentation and many discussions on the topic including http://groups.google.com/group/google-admob-ads-sdk/browse_thread/thread/3b885d3fe5bb21a5?pli=1 So far my layout is..
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/scroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linear"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="MY_PUB_CODE"
ads:adSize="BANNER"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
my androidmanifest.xml contains...
<activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"></activity>
<meta-data android:value="MY_PUBLISHER_ID" android:name="ADMOB_PUBLISHER_ID"></meta-data>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"></uses-permission>
EDIT, UPDATE:
Ok i seem to have gotten admob working on my HTC by adding,
AdView ad = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad);
AdRequest r = new AdRequest()
r.addTestDevice("X3XFX518X7DE1FD879XA5XXAX1AX8BXX");
ad.loadAd(r);
however i only recieve a test banner, stating im ready to explore the google app galaxy. When i remove the "addTestDevice" method, the banner/ad does not show up atal and in the log i recieve, "ad not recieved due to lack of inventory" .. Anyone sheed some light on this?
thanks for the help so far!
To your comment, I use this and it works quite well for me. The size is the second param of the AdView constructor.
ad = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "<ID>");
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_admob_layout);
// Add the adView to it
layout.addView(ad);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
request.setTesting(TESTING_MODE);
ad.loadAd(request);
