AdMob loads test ad but not real ad

Question

I can load test ads but as soon as I change the app unit id to my own the error failed to load ad: 0 pops up

The most common answer I found here is to wait some hours after creating the ad on the AdMob webpage, but I created the ad two days ago and still run into this error...

In MainActivity:

MobileAds.initialize(this, "ca-app-pub-************~********");

In fragment where the app is displayed:

    mAdView = (AdView) rootview.findViewById(adView);
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
    mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
    mAdView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {

In the fragment layout.xml:

 <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-9556*********/**********">
    </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

Any ideas?

UPDATE

When I change the build type to release the erro changes to:

05-21 10:42:41.778 3113-3113/? I/Ads: Starting ad request.
05-21 10:42:41.778 3113-3113/? I/Ads: Use AdRequest.Builder.addTestDevice("*********************") to get test ads on this device.

05-21 10:42:42.087 3113-3113/? W/Ads: Failed to load ad: 0

I am testing the app on a moto g5.

I created the ad 3 days ago, I do not think that it should be a problem of waiting longer.

Answer 1

设置广告以加载实际广告需要24小时。

Answer 2

AdRequest.Builder.addTestDevice(" ") , used for testing purpose if it's fine over testing and not able to show Ad on live App, wait for a few hours.

According to Google :

"It could be that you have only recently created a new Ad Unit ID and requesting for live ads. It could take a few hours for ads to start getting served if that is that case. If you are receiving test ads then your implementation is fine. Just wait a few hours and see if you are able to receive live ads then. If not, can send us your Ad Unit ID for us to look into."

After waiting some times/hours if still having problem then you need to cross check Ad unit Id and AppId from AdMob account.

Answer 3

事实证明我没有在我的Admob帐户中设置付款信息...
