I want to implement admob ads on my apps, but I didn't find any good resources to reference it.
I went to http://code.google.com/mobile/ads/docs/android/fundamentals.html but It only give me the implementation for testing device. How about to I want to see my apps show real ads.
Edit : I have my account at Admob, and had downloaded the SDK, but there's no real ads example there.
So please don't suggest me to register or something
The implementation for test ads and live ads are virtually the same. The only lines you should add/remove to get test/live ads are:
AdRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);
AdRequest.addTestDevice("INSERT_YOUR_HASHED_DEVICE_ID_HERE");
The first line will give you test ads on the emulator, the second would give you test ads on a specific device, provided you put in the correct device id, which you could get from the logcat output. If these lines are removed from the code, live ads will be served.
Note it is good practice to use test ads during development.
You go to Admob website register
Then add a new add campaign to show adds in your app.
Wait for admob to approve it, and start showing adds.
Everything you need you can learn by googling tutorials about how to use it.
Here is a good place to start.

In all my android applications suddenly AdMob test ads not working. Every time AdMob returning a no fill error code 3.
I have implemented the same thing which is provided here.
I am also using test unit ids which are provided by AdMob.
I have already added the device as a test device.
If I perform the same implementation in a separate demo project that time test ads showing perfectly. but after that, if I implement the same thing in my live app. it is returning an error every time.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
After searching a lot & reaching Google Mobile Ads SDK Technical Forum. Finally got a solution.
For Demo Test Ads
Step 1: Use test ad unit IDs.
Step 2: Setup an app-ads.txt file. and must include below a line
google.com, pub-3940256099942544, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
For Live ads with Test User
Option 1: Add your test device in the AdMob.
Option 2: Add your test device programmatically
Is there a way to analyze admob banners coming to my Android app?
I want to get the 'Add source','time', 'category' etc.
I am integrate admob network in many apps.But i can't find out analyzer to relevant ad.
You can set your time to refresh the ad.Because google is provided manually ad.
Other than time (which you can get the from the time the ad gets to your AdListener) The answer is no.
Alright, I've done my googling and found this article to help me out with my small app. However, that one is getting old so I just have to ask, do I really need admod and adwhirl accounts and jars to display simple google ads?
From what I understand I could have used simple adsense .. if my app was a webapp, which it isn't.
Are all those steps still necesarry?

I just setup AdMob in my Android application for the first time last night. I used their developer guide and it was really easy to get everything setup and working. It only took like 30-45 mins start to finish (in an app I already had written).
I didn't feel like it was too much setup.
If you just want Admob or adsense ads, then you certainly don't need to use AdWhirl. The main reason to use ad mediators and other ad networks is to get better paying ads (or make sure you get a higher fill rate).
I added test ads, and everything ok, but how to add REAL ADS on my program?
The question is a bit vague.
Are you saying you have an adMob publisher Id, have the admob-sdk-android.jar integrated in your project, have added the attrs.xml, and are using the com.admob.android.ads.AdView view to get test ads and now want to know how to get AdMob to serve up real ads?
If so, it's pretty obvious how to do that from the AdMob publisher controls page: (if you have a publisher Id already) Or..use help link there and see the content about Publishing for your Android app.
If youre asking how to get started using the AdMob SDK with your project, you might try: http://developer.admob.com/wiki/Android
I found it pretty painless. Hope that helps.
I'm adding AdMob ads (say that five times fast) to my finished, published Android app. I added the code from the PDF included with AdMob, following their instructions to a tee. The test ads show up fine on my emulators and specified test devices. They just don't appear in the published marketplace app when you download and run it. I still get impressions on my AdMob page however. Any ideas?
Admob sometimes doesn't have ads to display. This is worse for some apps than others. There are a few things to do to help mitigate this problem:
Enable adsense ads - this gives a larger pool of ads
Ensure that you have house ads available for all of your apps in Admob. That way, if they can't find paying ads, they'll at least show your house ads. This will significantly raise your fill rate, but not directly raise your income (depends on what you do with the house ads).
I know that the admob code does not display anything until it connects to the server and receives an ad. In my app it can take several seconds for the ad to display, but not usually longer than that.
I notice this fairly often with admob on one of my apps, while another seems to serve up ads just fine. Can't figure it out either, but I suspect it has to do with AdMob not having any campaigns that tailor to your application description and keywords.
I'm seeing exactly the same behavior. Does your app perform any network tasks on startup? If so, here is a thread on admob's support group which might provide an explanation:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/admob-publisher-discuss/hR7zs_GBSRw/discussion
Unfortunately for me delaying my app's network activity while waiting for admob isn't really an option, so I wish admob/google would release a fix.
