When I try to test the Admob api I get the following error in my logcat.
Ad failed: com.google.ads.AdView{40db6b18 V.E..... ......I. 0,0-480,610 #7f070001 app:id/adView}Ad request successful, but no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory.
Admob can return a blank ad (depends on targeting, user preferences etc), there is a fill rate in admob less then 100%, my suggestion to you - create some "house ads" that will return when you ads are blank.
*Or simply add some test ads, as i remember you can find such a feature in admob.
Your Logcat showing (no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory). It Clearly means that admob is not serving any advertisement to your app at that time.
It is probably because of the fill rate.
You can use AdSense to help backfill ads when AdMod does not have any available.

I am trying to add Native Ads in my android app. But I am continually getting error Failed to load ad with error code 3.
I have tried it with other test Ad units and in that case my code is working fine, ads are displaying.
But when I am trying to show Banner Ads from same account, I am getting error code 0. I am not able to display any type of ad from my account.
Note:- I have created this account 3 days before and Billing is also enabled and verified in this.
Error Code 3 : means ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL (The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory). Wait for few hours/days, then you will able to receive live ads.
Error Code 0 : means ERROR_CODE_INTERNAL_ERROR (Something happened internally; for instance, an invalid response was received from the ad server) may be you are using native ads id in banner ad.
I implement Admob in one of my android application. First time it has a banner add bellow of my application. But after adding banner ad in RecylearView after 8 items then problem occurs. 90% cases it returns response code 3.
Maximum time it showing me:
I/Ads: No fill from ad server.
W/Ads: Failed to load ad: 3
Here response code: 3 means The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory. But other apps showing ads frequently in same device.
Notes:
It showing demo ad when i test in TestDevice
Problem occurring only non test devices
Rare cases it successfully return ad.
Can anyone please help me to recover from this issue.Is there any issue in my ad_unit or adMob?
Here my code is correct. The issue is that AdMob does not always have an ad to return for every request. This may happen particularly if you have just registered your AdMob publisher ID, as it takes some time and multiple requests before the new ID starts returning ads.
Another reason your fill rate may be low is that you don't have AdSense backfill enabled, or you have filtered out some ads. Check your app settings to see if that is the case.
According to documentation :-
public static final int ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL
The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.
Constant Value: 3
Which means:-

I am unable to load DFP ads in Nexus 7 tablet device. I am getting failed message:
Ad request successful, but no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory
Using SMART_BANNER adsize I have tested on some smart phones(Google nexus,nexus 5,s3,s4) and Samsung 10 tablet, it works perfectly in all devices but in Nexus 7 ad failed to load due to the lack of ad inventory.
My xml code snippet
<com.google.ads.doubleclick.DfpAdView
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId="MY_AD_UNIT_ID"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>

how to set up the Admob "House ad" campain for a Interstitial Ad in order to get allways loaded?
I am getting
onFailedToReceiveAd(Ad request successful, but no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory.)
In AdGroup goal I choose "Fully allocate"
but the message keeps coming still!
any help?
Interstitials (including house ad interstitials) are set to only serve once per day to each device. This is done so that users don't get spammed with the same interstitial over and over. You probably received the interstitial once and then couldn't get it again.
If you set up multiple house ad interstitial campaigns, you should be able to get each one once per day on each device.
UPDATE 9/4/2014:
On the new AdMob on apps.admob.com, there is currently no frequency capping on house ads.
I followed the admob SDK tutorial to set up ads for my android application.
But I get no test adds returned :(. Also, on the admob site no requests are registered.
When I run my app the log says the following :
03-18 08:23:56.392: INFO/AdMobSDK(1278): Publisher ID set to xxxxxxxx
03-18 08:23:56.392: INFO/AdMobSDK(1278): Making ad request in test mode
03-18 08:23:56.513: INFO/AdMobSDK(1278): No fill. Server replied that no ads are available (120ms)
The xxx is my publisher Id, but I hid it here with x'es :).
I did set my publisher id in the manifest.
I did set the "setTestDevices method" in my code with the device id the logcat requested
AdManager.setTestDevices( new String[] { "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", } );
What did I do wrong?? I should get test ads on my phone I suppose?
I find AdMob's test mode to be very unreliable. Sometimes I get no ad, sometimes a test ad, and occasionally real ads show.
I'd not worry about it too much, and instead make sure that ads are showing on the live app. you may want to look at Adwhirl if you don't get ads showing. A fill-reate error basically means AdMob didn't sell all the ad space, so if you want ads to always be shown you may need to look beyond AdMob. Adwhirl is an aggregator, owned by AdMob, so it'll pull ads from other networks if they don't have an ad.
