failed to load ad : 3

Question

I\'m setting an ad to my Android application using DoubleClick and can\'t manage to show the final ad, can someone help me?

When I test an ad by adding ".addTest

Answer 1

On new admob version USE this :

//Load your adView before

    adView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {    


        @Override
        public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
            // Code to be executed when an ad request fails.
            Toast.makeText(Your current activity.this, "Ad failed: " + errorCode, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }




    });

If Ads load on your emulator, meaning that they return test ads, that should mean that there's nothing wrong with your code. Do they load test ads on your phone as well?

If you're able to see test ads on the emulator and test devices, then it usually just means that AdMob (assuming you're using AdMob) is unable to return an Ad due to a lack of Ad inventory. If this is the case, then when looking at the Logcat you should see the line W/Ads: Failed to load ad: 3.

What you should do is plug in an Android phone to your computer, and then in Android Studio click on Logcat, and in the top left you should see some devices to select from. Select your phone if it's listed (it should be). The logcat will now be printing everything your phone is printing. In the filter bar, type in ads to filter out stuff you don't need to see.

Then open your application in your phone, and check the logcat. Make sure your device isn't considered a test device. If you see W/Ads: Failed to load ad: 3 then that should mean that the problem lies with AdMob and not you.

If it doesn't say that and it says something else, then I obviously don't know.
