I'm adding AdMob ads to my app. The test ad works fine in the emulator, but when I test it on a phone it doesn't display. Looking at LogCat, it says it received the ad, and it doesn't say that the space allotted is too small to hold the ad (I checked and it would tell me if that happened), but the test ad does not appear. I can't find any reason that the test ad would be successfully received and have enough space yet not be displayed, so I'm fairly stumped.
AdMob doesn't always show an AD.
The number of ads shown depend on how many requests you application make.
Few requests = few probability to see the banner.
Then if you doesn't receive any error and your logcat says that the ad is received correctly, then probably it is ok.
On my application installed on ~2000 devices the AD appears very rarely.

I have an app that has had Admob integrated for years (so it's not a new ad spot).
I just updated Admob to latest "com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:17.1.1" from a previous verison, maybe 15 or 16 something. And consistently I am now getting this in logcat
Failed to load ad: 3 (No Fill)
No fill from any mediation ad networks.
1. If I add my device as a test device, I do get the test ad
2. If I download my app from the Play Store and try, I see ads are working (using the exact same interstitial/admob ID) so account is working...
I know I'm supposed to use test ads when in testing environment, but I'd like to see a live ad before pushing out an app update you know? Did Firebase change something to detect if it's not a "live" app?
(No code because it is the typical admob loading code which has been untouched, and as I said, test ads work)
As per the Documentation you are getting the following error code:
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
Based on the post
onFailedToReceiveAd - Ad request successful, but no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory when using admob with adwhirl:
If you are getting this error, then your 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.
Maybe you must try launch your app with other ip to get new ads.
i have a problem using admob interstitial ads.i have done some searching and all i can find is that the error code that i am getting (code 3, the no fill error) means that there are no available ads to display. some say that ads will start appearing after a couple of hours but it has been a few days now and still ads are not appearing.
as far as i know i have set it up correctly. it works when i use the test ads but not when i use my live app id.
using the live app id on a real device returns ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL in the AdListener's onAdFailedToLoad() method but displays a test ad on the emulator. Nothing is displayed when the published app is installed from the google play store.
how can i get ads to display? or does this mean that ads will never be displayed
I am new to using ad-mob and I created a simple app with ad-mob ad in it, and it's working fine except that it only shows only one and the same ad, I tried to close and open the app many times but still shows only one and the same ad.
This is normal. It could be due to a lack of ad inventory, meaning at that particular time at your geolocation, there are no other ads to serve besides the ad you keep seeing.
Also, check the app's ad settings in the admob console, to make sure "No refresh" is enabled. The ideal refresh rate should be 60seconds.
I've been searching through StackOverflow and I'm wondering about some things regarding AdMob. I'm done developing my app and have decided to make one free application and one non-free. The free one should have AdMob like a banner on it with ads of course.
Now I did, as everyone, the mistake with not putting target to sdk 14 or something and then I saw the banner space with a error message but now when I fixed it I did a fake android application on AdMob but nothing shows, even after I placed the ad - id number there.
I'm actually wondering, when does the ads show up on my application? Does a advertiser choose just my app to show ads on? Can't I have like always ads but I only get money when someone presses them?
Thanks in advance!
You'll know if you implemented the ads correctly by setting your test device and requesting a test ad. The test ad should come back every time, assuming your publisher id is valid.
It takes a few days and multiple requests for the new id to start delivering real impressions. The advertiser does not choose your app specifically; the AdMob network takes care of matching the advertiser's ad to the publisher's app.
I have implemented AdMob to My Application from this Docunemtation: Here
I can see the ad perfectly as I want. But some times I cant able to see the advertisements. If i refresh the activity, it will show me the Advertisement again. and ita work perfectly.
But when i am not able to see the advertisement at that time i got the message at catlog like:
09-27 12:58:54.451: INFO/Ads(940): onFailedToReceiveAd(Ad request successful, but no ad returned due to lack of ad inventory.)
I dont know where is the Problem ?
Why I am not able to see the Add sometimes ??
Please give the way if I am wrong regarding it.
Thanks.
AdMob ads appear at a specified interval depending on the network traffic. If there is no congestion in the traffic, the ads appear each time you see your app else you see the message in your log saying no ad returned. However have a quick walkthrough with your code and keep testing your app after giving some gap.
With regard to refresh, in your AdMob account, go to setting, there you can specify the time when do you want the ads to refresh. There is still a possibility of the same ads appearing again and again.
Why dont you use the latest Google AdSense-SDK? Google AdSense has good ads.
I was also faced this issue but There is no any issue at our end, Admob is not appear sometime so may be it is problem at AdMob end like as server problem, netproblem...etc
All that is needed to add AdSense ads is to press a button to enable Google AdSense in the App Settings in your app on admob.com.
