    text
    copied!<p>I've been trying to get AdMob to work for some time on my app. I keep getting onFailedToRecieveAd(Invalid Ad Request) message in the log. I've paired down my test application to this:</p> <pre><code> AdView adView; LinearLayout ll; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "pub-2...............");//inserted my 16 digit pub id here adView.setGravity(Gravity.TOP | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL); ll = new LinearLayout(this); ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL); ll.addView(adView); setContentView(ll); AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest(); adRequest.addTestDevice("3...............");// 16 digits, tried other strings as // follows: //for addTestDevice I've tried several numbers, including the 16 digit device // number given me by my "device id" application, the "0123456789ABCDEF" device number // given by my console and device windows, the "CECE.........................." 32 digit // device number my logcat file told me to use in a logcat message, // "AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR" // which an admob example in the docs said to use, "9774d56d682e549c" which another // admob docs example said to use. adView.loadAd(adRequest); </code></pre> <p>I've also tried adView.loadAd(new AdRequest()); using no device id as in another one of the google admob example apps.</p> <p>nothing has worked to show anything, it's not even creating space for the ad, just the onFailedToRecieveAd(Invalid Ad Request) message in the logcat</p> <p>I've also included the necessary permissions and "com.google.ads.AdActivity" in the manifest. </p>
