Admob ads not loading - Failed to load ad: 0

Question

I am trying to load Admob Native ads. Previously (before app was updated) ads used to show but now they are not showing. I have posted the code, xml and the Logcat below.

Answer 1

I had this issues because of AVD settings. Try to change AVD for debug or try to use real device.

Answer 2

It also happened to me that error"fail to load ad 0" but there is no problem just wait for sometimes like an hour or 2 or even 5 hours just wait you will get the ads.

Answer 3

In my case missing payment information was an issue. When you login to Admob dashboard you will see notice over there which says ads won't work until we add payment details.

Answer 4

It also happens when trying to request an ad from a placement with different type. For example, banner from interstitial and so on. I hope this will help somenone.

Answer 5

Open the build.gradle file inside your application module directory:

and add this dependency

dependencies {
......
......
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.2.0'
}

Answer 6

Constant Value: 0

This error generally occurs in newly created ads. So wait for few hours for the ads to be loaded.
