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

My problem was with Payment. I refreshed my payment method and it helped me.

Answer 2

I've made the stupidest error. Passed app id into MobileAds.initialize from one app and used placement id in loadAd from another admob app.

Once I corrected placement id all come to work.

Answer 3

There is one option which helped in our case. As @blizzard mentioned in your application settings in Google Developer Console there is a section which called "Pricing and Distribution". In this section there is a checkbox "CONTAINS ADS". In our case it was disabled. After enabling we successfully received ads.

Answer 4

This is a simple WORKAROUND (no solution):

You can install a mediation such as InMobi: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/mediation/inmobi

In this way, if for whatever reason admob is not showing you ads, you can still show them from other ad networks.

Answer 5

W/Ads: Failed to load ad: 3

Means: The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.

So, In my case, I have commented the keywords: property to load all types of ads. Now my ad is loading properly.

static final MobileAdTargetingInfo targetingInfo = MobileAdTargetingInfo(
        testDevices: testDevice != null ? <String>[testDevice] : null,
        nonPersonalizedAds: true,
        //keywords: <String>['Fitness', 'Yoga', 'Health', 'Exercise', 'Game', 'Doctor', 'Medical'],);

Answer 6

in my case :
I/Ads: Ad failed to load : Account not approved yet.

but you need to implement the listener for knowing the error

First import the listener : import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdListener;
Second create variable : private final String TAG2 = com.ringtones.splash.class.getSimpleName();

            mAdView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAdLoaded() {Log.d(TAG2, "google banner ad loaded"); }
            @Override
            public void onAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError adError) {Log.d(TAG2, "google banner ad failed to load : "+ adError.getMessage());}
            @Override
            public void onAdOpened() {Log.d(TAG2, "google banner ad opened");}
            @Override
            public void onAdClicked() {Log.d(TAG2, "google banner ad clicked");}
            @Override
            public void onAdLeftApplication() {Log.d(TAG2, "google banner ad left application");}
            @Override
            public void onAdClosed() {Log.d(TAG2, "google banner ad closed");}
        });
