I've been searching for the answer for a while, but I can't find the same set of circumstances, so I turn to you for help...
I'm trying to use the google SDK (not the admob sdk) to put ads in my android app. When running the app in the emulator, the log messages that I see are:
03-25 22:35:17.457: INFO/Ads(853): adRequestUrlHtml: [ contains two <script> tags ]
03-25 22:35:21.028: INFO/Ads(853): Received ad url: [ big long url ]
Sometimes I get:
03-25 22:35:21.828: INFO/Ads(853): onFailedToReceiveAd(No ad to show.)
which perhaps I can understand, but I also get:
03-25 22:50:56.817: INFO/Ads(1084): onFailedToReceiveAd(A network error occurred.)
If I hit the "big long url" above in my desktop browser, I get an ad about 1/2 the time and blank the other 1/2. (Hello, Dish Network) I never get an error.
I can browse the web with the emulator's browser, so the network component is working.
The app has internet privileges.
I'm frustrated with the lack of usable sample code - I see a lot of people using the old admob SDK and a few code fragments of people using the google SDK, but not a soup-to-nuts example/tutorial.
I've commented out the rest of my code, to no avail. Here's the main chunk of code:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, ADMOB_PUBLISHER_ID);
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);
layout.addView(adView);
AdRequest req = new AdRequest();
// req.setTesting(true);
adView.loadAd(req);
}
My manifest includes this:
<activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"/>
and
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
My main.xml contains this layout for the page:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#color/yellow"
android:id="#+id/mainLayout"
>
admob support hasn't replied.
Can anyone help me or at least refer me to the perfect google sdk guide for admob noobs?
Thanks!
have you add attr.xml file???
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="com.google.ads.AdView">
<attr name="adSize">
<enum name="BANNER" value="1"/>
<enum name="IAB_MRECT" value="2"/>
<enum name="IAB_BANNER" value="3"/>
<enum name="IAB_LEADERBOARD" value="4"/>
</attr>
<attr name="adUnitId" format="string"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
try adding this permission line to your AndroidManifest.xml file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
Friends, I meet the same problem today. I followed the whold google instruction. Finally, I got it. You can customize the request for call load. Like this:
AdRequest re = new AdRequest();
//re.setTesting(true);
re.setGender(AdRequest.Gender.FEMALE);
adview.loadAd(re);
You can try my example, I put my apk and source code here:
Add Google Admob in Android Application

I have a problem with my Android App which I'm trying to add ads for, the weird thing is that the ad loads perfectly on the first activity, but none of the others. I've followed the instructions on https://developers.google.com/admob/android/existing-app, but to no avail it still only works with the first activity. I have a different Ad Unit ID for each activity that I have ads on as well, and have copy-pasted them from the website to avoid mistakes, and have removed all whitespace.
The response I get is:
There was a problem getting an ad response. ErrorCode: 0
Failed to load ad: 0
I've done research on why I'd get this response from AdMob, and I've tried the solutions I have found, they are to add the correct version (and check for updates) of the Google Play Services to my build.gradle file, to add the version to my manifest file, I am running it on the stock rom that came with a real phone (LG G4 running Lollipop) I even tried on a different phone which was also running stock Android to get the same result.
The way I load the ads onto my page is with this code:
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
This is the same on every activity with ads on it.
This is a snippet of my Manifest file:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Finally, this is the ad snippet of my layout file, which is also the same in all of my layouts:
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="#string/banner_home">
</com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
I have a string resource for each different activity Ad Unit ID.
It just started working, I changed nothing. Maybe there was a problem building it before? Who knows, thanks for all the help though guys.
AdView adView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
.build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
Whenever you load Admob banner ad this gives 0 error.This is just because you have not signed it.you must load and show Test admob Banner ad.if test ad is servering perfectly then you will get right ad in signed apk.0 error may be just because you have not signed apk
did you added this line in your manifest file?
<activity
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
or try like this
Open your adMob account and create new sets of keys,and put this keys(banner/interstitial)in your project.this is happens to me once i fixed like this,try this solution. or still issues create new app (just change the name) in adMob and create new keys
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 have integrated admob in my app but the ads showed up in emulator but when i tried in real device it's not showing up. For integration i have added below code in AndroidManifest.xml
<!-- Internet Permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!-- Network State Permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<!-- Google Play service -->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<!-- Ad activity -->
<activity
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
Then in my activity's layout i have added below Linearlayout to load the ad in it :
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/main_menu_banner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" />
Then in activity i have written below java code for integration :
/* The view to show the ad. */
private AdView adView;
/* Your ad unit id. Replace with your actual ad unit id. */
private static final String AD_UNIT_ID = "My_admob_key";
// Create an ad.
adView = new AdView(MainMenu.this);
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
adView.setAdUnitId(AD_UNIT_ID);
// Add the AdView to the view hierarchy. The view will have no size
// until the ad is loaded.
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_menu_banner);
layout.addView(adView);
// Initiate a generic request.
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
// Load the adView with the ad request.
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
layout.bringToFront();
Any help would be appreciated why ads are not showing up!!!! Also you can point to any good tuto for integrating admob will also help. Thanks in advance
Add the extras as well
AdMobExtras extras = new AdMobExtras(bundle);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addNetworkExtras(extras).build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
May be you missed adding Test device or added wrong ID, same thing happened with me as till I noticed in the Logcat this alert;
04-22 10:04:04.887 I/Ads: Use
AdRequest.Builder.addTestDevice("6612F2AEECD2A4ADBD699CFC349AB01A") to
get test ads on this device.
Once I added it, it started working fine.
In my case there were an issue with the size of the view.
So I debugged the app in Android Studio and found the right hint in the Android Monitor Tab:
Not enough space to show ad. Needs 320x150 dp, but only has 318x0 dp.
I faced the same issues when I was working on changing the targetSDKversion.
I was using a Galaxy S7 phone to test.
I manged to get it working by allocating more space for the adview.
For ads to show up, tried making the view 3:1 with
android:layout_weight="3" for upper activity (75%)
android:layout_weight="1" for adView activity (25%)
android:layout_height="0dp"
I've been trying to solve this problem for weeks. There are some other similar questions in StackOverflow, and there are some (apparently solved) similar issues in AdWhirl documentation website (one and two), but this error is still bothering me.
AdWhirl documentation is rather incomplete and confusing. The steps I've followed:
I created an AdMob account and I got the AdMob ID.
I created an AdWhirl account, I put there the AdMob ID and I got the AdWhirl ID.
I added in my Java Build Path the AdMob SDK Jar 4.3.1 and the AdWhirl SDK Jar 3.1.1
In my Manifest file I added the following lines:
.
<manifest>
[...]
<application>
[...]
<activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
<meta-data android:value="[AdWhirl ID]" android:name="ADWHIRL_KEY"/>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
</manifest>
In all the layouts I want ads I added the following lines:
.
<com.adwhirl.AdWhirlLayout
android:id="#+id/adwhirl_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="72dip" />
In all the activities related to those layouts I added the following lines:
.
public class XXX extends ListActivity implements AdWhirlInterface {
[...]
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.YYY);
initAds();
[...]
}
[...]
private void initAds() {
AdWhirlManager.setConfigExpireTimeout(1000 * 60 * 5);
AdWhirlTargeting.setTestMode(false);
AdWhirlLayout adWhirlLayout = (AdWhirlLayout)findViewById(R.id.adwhirl_layout);
adWhirlLayout.setAdWhirlInterface(this);
}
public void adWhirlGeneric() {
Log.e(AdWhirlUtil.ADWHIRL, "In adWhirlGeneric()");
}
}
Project Build Target: Google API Android 4.0
Emulator: Google APIs 2.1 (API 7)
What am I doing wrong?
I see no ads and all the time I get the "nextRation is null!" error.
This looks like pretty much like the minimalistic AdWhirl implementation. FYI, you don't need the adWhirlGeneric() method.
There are a couple of reasons nextRation may be null.
The AdWhirl servers may have been down during the time you had this issue, or that you misconfigured some settings in the AdWhirl UI. These errors are unlikely.
AdWhirl tried to request an AdMob ad, and it failed for whatever reason (my money is on lack of inventory), and AdWhirl had no next ration, meaning there are no more ad networks to try to request an ad from (and it will try again on next refresh).
NOTE: A Ration in AdWhirl represents an ad network settings, like network name and it's corresponding network id.
Check the logcat output again, and see what leads up to the nextRation is null error. Is it a JSONException? If so, that means you have issue #1. Do the logs say you found an AdMob ration, then AdMob responded with onFailedToReceiveAd, and then you get nextRation is null? Then you have issue #2.
I had the same issue and found a solution following this post:
http://code.google.com/p/adwhirl/issues/detail?id=27
Hope it can help you too.
I am trying to implement Admob in Android and I am seeing requests coming into AdMob. However, I am not seeing the Admob ads being displayed on the Android screen in the emulator and my Android test phones as well.
As stated before, I can see the requests coming into my AdMob account. However, the content is not being shown. Is there something that needs to be enabled in my account, the main.xml, AndroidManifest.xml, or in the loading of the application?
My application configuration and code are below. Please advise on what is needed. Thanks!
AndroidManifest:
<meta-data
android:value="My Publisher ID"
android:name="ADMOB_PUBLISHER_ID" />
<activity android:name="com.admob.android.ads.AdMobActivity"/>
<receiver
android:name="com.admob.android.ads.analytics.InstallReceiver"
android:exported="true">

<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<meta-data
android:value="true"
android:name="ADMOB_ALLOW_LOCATION_FOR_ADS"/>
main:
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="My Publisher ID"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>
On Create Code:
AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest re = new AdRequest();
re.setTesting(true);
adView.loadAd(re);
Any help is appreciated!!
Make sure that the layout the AdView is embedded in does not impose any padding on the AdView. The AdView's size has to be exactly 320x50 dip. It does not show up if it does not get enough room.
Also check the log output of your device. In Eclipse switch to the DDMS perspective, select your device and watch the LogCat output.
I had a similar issue. If you have any padding on your parent layout then you may not have enough width for the ads. If you have it in a portrait view try switching to a landscape view to see if it shows. If it does than you most likely have a width issue somewhere in your layout.
It usually takes some time for ads to start appearing via admob. This happens in the case when you have just registered on admob and started up with your first application. If the suggestions given above are taken care of and if your admob page shows a "green" status, I wont worry about it too much. Once your fill rate increases, you will start to see more and more ads.
Go to app settings on admob.com and make sure use location
data for ads is turned off if your app is not a location based app.
Use location data for ads is used to filter ads based on location and
works only on app with location permission granted. If app does not use
location permission, ads will not show.
Make sure your have filled payment details
Be sure that your Admob layout is displaying in xml view. Put your admob view inside RelativeLayout and try to use android:alignparentBottom:true
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<!--Do our code that you want to show in xml -->
<!--Put adview in bottom of screen -->
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adUnitId="#string/addmob_id"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads:testDevices="HT9CWP803129" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
In your java code put these lines in onCreate method
// Load addvertisment
AdView adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
// Request for Ads
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice("FF9CD441FA62FD456D7D571B91DD11DD").build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
This worked in my code, Hope it will help you too.
Be carefull with the id, there are 2 codes: the editor number (like this: pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and the other is the banner id (like this: ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx)
You need to use the last one, if you use the first doesnt work:)
You are using
ads:adUnitId="My Publisher ID"
replace it with
ads:adUnitId="Here AdUnitId for this app"
Note: You have to create app on Admob and you will get AdUnitId for that created app. You don't have to use Publisher ID.
I see there are two problems in your code based on what you posted:-
The <metadata> section should contain the ADMOB_APP_ID instead of your
publisher ID. This should be declared under <application> tag in
ApplicationManifest.xml.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="[ADMOB_APP_ID]"/>
you can find ADMOB_APP_ID by on ADMOB dashboard, click on the application
and check "App Settings". You can see the APP_ID which starts
typically with ca-app-pub-0123456789012345.
The second problem is, where you have declared AdView in your layout.
Remember you have to provide Ad unit not your publisherID, which
you can create in ADMOB dashboard by clicking on Ad Unit tab
under your application. Put the correct "ad unit" against your
AdView as below.
ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111" <!-- remember this is adUnit not App ID and this value above is for test banner Ad. -->
Once you have fixed above problems, do the following:-
MobileAds.initialize(this, "YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID"); in onCreate of your first Activity. This needs to be done only once and thus the right place is either your first activity or at application's onCreate callback.
Find the AdView in the activity onCreate where you have included AdView in the layout.
mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
Test Ads work by providing test adunit published by google.
mAdView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
mAdView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111");
Additionally, if you want to handle Ad events, do as follows:-
mAdView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
#Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
// Code to be executed when an ad finishes loading.
}
#Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
// Code to be executed when an ad request fails.
}
#Override
public void onAdOpened() {
// Code to be executed when an ad opens an overlay that
// covers the screen.
}
#Override
public void onAdLeftApplication() {
// Code to be executed when the user has left the app.
}
#Override
public void onAdClosed() {
// Code to be executed when when the user is about to return
// to the app after tapping on an ad.
}
});
Some of these possible solutions may sound obvious, but make sure you have these completed:
-replace "My Publisher ID" in android:value="My Publisher ID" with your actual publisher ID.
-make sure to include the internet permission in your manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
If you have completed those, you can also try placing the following code in the "On create" section instead of your current:
AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.setTesting(true);
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
or
AdManager.setTestDevices( new String[] {AdManager.TEST_EMULATOR});
AdView adView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
adView.requestFreshAd();
Before publishing, don't forget be sure to get rid of the setTestDevice though!
make sure, your admob publisher ID is correct. It had happend with me once and I could not figure out the error for about 15 days.
In Admob every app that you submit gets a different publisher ID. It is unique per Application and not per User.
It might be an issue with the space, you need to ensure that the space is available for the ad to be displayed. If you have a padding on the parent layout it might reduce the space available. According to the google Admob docs no ad will be displayed if the space isn't there for it to be displayed.
"The SDK will request whatever size the requesting AdView was instantiated with. If there isn't enough space on the device's screen to display the ad, nothing will be shown."
So my suggestion is to ensure no padding is on the parent layout and actually assign a height and width to the banner ad like this
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_width="#dimen/banner_width"
android:layout_height="#dimen/banner_height"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="My Publisher ID"
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>
And store the appropriate dimensions in your dimens.xml in the values folder.
This is because admin inventory requires some requests to be generated to check that the app can make some profit!
Please let setup the ads properly and publish the app, after about 1k requests are made, the ads will automatically show up!
I too was suffering from this problem and got my answer when I published my own app!
If admob "App Id" and "Unit Id" is correct then upload on google play store it will show the add.
I was facing same type of issue but after upload on google play it resolve automatic.
My ads were shown by just having few request here are the following steps I made
Get More Requests You are saying that 400 imp but no ads just make another ad unit in same app it will start showing I also did this this method and ad started In my previous ad unit it have many request but no imp then I made another unit it started showing ads
Have patient in my account it take 4 days to show ads and my account was approved by Google in 1 hr it take a lot of time to build inventory in the server so be patient you will have your ads
Complaint Google at admob complatint they will check your app and chances of app is approved is 50-50%
