Admob ads not showing up

Question

I am trying to implement Admob in Android and I am seeing requests coming into AdMob. However, I am not seeing the Admob ads being displayed on the Android screen in the emu

Answer 1

Some of these possible solutions may sound obvious, but make sure you have these completed:

-replace "My Publisher ID" in android:value="My Publisher ID" with your actual publisher ID.

-make sure to include the internet permission in your manifest file:

If you have completed those, you can also try placing the following code in the "On create" section instead of your current:

   AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);
   AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
   adRequest.setTesting(true);
   adView.loadAd(adRequest);
   adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());

or

    AdManager.setTestDevices( new String[] {AdManager.TEST_EMULATOR});

    AdView adView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
    adView.requestFreshAd();

Before publishing, don't forget be sure to get rid of the setTestDevice though!
