Android Question My Admob does not receive any banner

[Alberto Michelis]

Hi, using the test banner code:

        BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978xxx", BannerAd.SIZE_SMART_BANNER)

it works ok
Using my code nothing happens and I get the ErrorCode=0

' ERROR_CODE_INTERNAL_ERROR
' Something happened internally; For instance, an invalid response was received from the ad server.
' Constant Value: 0

Please see pic
Im using Id Application in the Manifest and the BlockId in the banner
What am I dong wrong?

...and the BlockId in the banner

What is the "BlockId"?

Test my example and use your code, to see if the problem remains:

[B4XPages] Admob Example

Check this other excellent example from @Jack Cole. To help the new members to make money with B4A, I tried to compile all the relevant Admob code (except mediation) of the forum in this example and put comments and links. This is a work in progress. Any code and sample to improve this example...

This is the id of the block of banners you set in admob web:
ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978xxx
the second in the picture

will try with your example

What am I dong wrong?

You didn't provide enough information. no one can help by just providing an error code.

@asales Ive modify your example using my app id, modifying the manifest, and it works.
Problem is: using your code for the smart banner I get a Test banner, which is OK
but using my banner code Im still getting the same test banner and not a publicity banner.

Because you are running your application in an emulator. Run it on a real device.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

@asales , thanks for your example, Ive modify it to use my app id, using the test unit id works ok, but when I change it to my unit id I get
"Error code 1 The ad request was invalid; For instance, the ad unit ID was incorrect."
But Im using the unit ID supplied by google Admob page (like I show in the pic of my first post)
Is there anything else I have to do besides create a unit and get its id?

 

[asales]

Check if that is the same code showed in the ads list. Click in the button beside the code to copy the string.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Yes, thats what im doing. Ive made another unit too and same problem.

 

[sorex]

make sure there isn't a trailing space or hidden space from copy pasting.

also how long has it been that you created the banner placement?

it could take up to a day if your admob profile is new.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

One is very old and the other is from yesterday...
It is just to create de Unit? or you have to set any other thing to, mey be choose the type of propaganda and so on?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Because you are running your application in an emulator. Run it on a real device.

Thanks but Im running it in a real device, using the test unit ID the banners are shown ok, but using my units id no.

I think you may have to wait a while.

Well... searching and searching in the AdMob web, suddenly I click on Payment... there says that if you dont set a payment account AdMobs will not send you any banner.
Now Im receiving Error 3 that means: The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due To lack of ad inventory.
Will wait and let you know.

 

[AnandGupta]

Good to know, you are on roll

Anand

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Isnt it weird the "lack of ad inventory" ?

 

[sorex]

that's normal. after a while they will show up if there is an ad for your region.

Do I have to upload the app to gooogle play for Ads to work?
