Admob in Android 2.3

I have an Android app that I am trying to display ads in. The ads display fine on my Galaxy Nexus, running Android 4.1.2, but on my Droid 2, running Android 2.3, they don't display.

I've looked all over the place, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

Android Manifest:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="16"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/sms_logo_green_w_blue">
    <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
              android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

XML File:

<com.google.ads.AdView
                android:id="@+id/adView"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                ads:adUnitId="@string/mediation_id"
                ads:adSize="BANNER"
                ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, <my device id>"
                ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>

I've tried loading the ad through Java code instead of through XML like this:

com.google.ads.AdView adView = new com.google.ads.AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, this.getResources().getString(R.string.mediation_id));
    LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainAdLayout);

// Add the adView to it
layout.addView(adView);

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.addTestDevice("<my device id>");
adRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);

adView.loadAd(adRequest);

No matter what I do, the ads don't load on 2.3. Any ideas?

this is all I see in the logcat from my app or admob:

W/webcore ( 3505): Can't get the viewWidth after the first layout

Got the following from logcat when tracking ad behavior:

Solution

  • I'm an idiot. I had an adblock app installed on my Droid 2 that I had forgotten about (I haven't used the device in quite some time.)

    Sorry for wasting your time! I did vote up your answer though, because it DID help me realize what the issue was.
