Unable to display AdMob Banner

I am trying to ad using AdMob to display ads at the bottom of screen.

I added following line in my build.gradle file to get AdMob sdk:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0'

After then, I added AdView in XML to show ads:

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/ad_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        app:adSize="BANNER"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        app:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id" />

Now I make a referecne of AdView using ad_view id and build AdRequest to request for ads using following lines of code:

AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.ad_view);
final AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
//  .addTestDevice("38C0F116926519A0CBAF1094898921FB")
    .build();

if (mAdView != null)
    mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

Everything works perfect if I uncomment addTestDevice function but when I try to display real ads, I am getting the following error in logcat:

12-23 17:18:02.234 13226-13226/com.abc.xyz I/Ads: Starting ad request.

After searching the issue, I tried the solutions from the below links but none of them worked for me.

Uncaught ReferenceError: AFMA_getSdkConstants is not defined

Interstitial Admob doesn't work : AFMA_ReceiveMessage is not defined

Please suggest me what I am doing wrong or what I am missing. Thanks.

Solution

  • I check your code and is correct, some times you have to do 2 things:

    1- Wait for check, remember you just add the ad a few minutes ago. 2- Try in a real device, remember you dont have the same stuff like play store servies in a emulator.
