AdMob banner ad not showing

Question

I use admob in my application, it works fine, but suddenly it stopped showing ads at all. Bellow are my codes that I used:

mainActivity.xml:

<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_ad_unit_id"> </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView> 

MainActivity.java

  AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView); AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build(); mAdView.loadAd(adRequest); 

AndroidManifest:

  <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="19" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> <!--Include the AdActivity configChanges and theme. --> <activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" /> 

I followed all the instructions from the adMob website, as I said that it works a few days ago.

Below you will find a few lines from the logarithm that may be related to my problem:

I repeat the warning several times, and more appears when I click on the empty area where the ad should be displayed

I searched everywhere for a solution, and also looked at some similar ones, but not one of them helped me.

Answer 1

This problem is solved by uninstalling the application manually and reinstalling without making any changes!

Answer 2

Use the lines below the code

 AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView); AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder() .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) // All emulators .addTestDevice("AC98C820A50B4AD8A2106EDE96FB87D4") // My Galaxy Nexus test phone .build(); mAdView.loadAd(request ); 

instead of this

 AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build(); 

because this line will be used when your application is ready for publication on the Google Play Store.

You can put your device identifier instead of "AC98C820A50B4AD8A2106EDE96FB87D4 . " Code to get device ID:

 String android_id = Settings.Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID); 

Read carefully:

Answer 3

Check if you have the latest adMob and GooglePlayServices lib.

Answer 4

Place the banner in LinearLayout just like this, I encountered the same problem and I fixed it by placing it in a linear layout

  <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" android:id="@+id/linearLayout"> <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-8056472942589154/2652831823" android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/saida" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentStart="true" /> </LinearLayout> 

Answer 5

In my case, the ad did not appear until I gave him enough space.

Before it was like

 <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@color/primary" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="90dip"> <ImageView android:onClick="goBack" android:clickable="true" android:src="@drawable/ic_arrow_back_white_48dp" android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip"/> <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@+id/adView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ads:adSize="BANNER" ads:adUnitId="@string/dwn_bnr_ad"/> 

Here, adview has a height of wrap_content, so it is configured to reach its height, but its parent (LinearLayout) has a strict height of 90dip, which does not allow adView to take up enough space to display ads.

So what I did, it just changed the height of LinearLayout to wrap_content, then everything got fine

Answer 6

Have you returned to your admob account to register your ad application and receive a new longer publisher number with the preface "ca-app-pub-" instead of the prefix "pub"?

Nowhere in the “banner ads 1” instructions on the Google Admob developer site “Google Mobile Ads SDK” does it mention the need to return to the admob account to do this.

This stupid mistake held me back for several days.

Answer 7

In my case, I had the code below in the buildscript section of the buildscript project build.gradle

Make sure maven {url "https://maven.google.com"} is under allProjects > repositories :

 allprojects { repositories { jcenter() maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } } }
