Don't show admob ads

This is my first android app and I am trying to use admob ads for my app, but it doesn't work despite everything I have done.

These are the codes in my activity related to the declaration

     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
........

    LinearLayout rootLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.ForViewAd);

    AdView adView = new AdView(this);
    adView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
   //i've gotten the test ad id by first setting this as 'abc'
   //and then reading off the logcat
    adView.setAdUnitId("XXXXXXXXX");

    rootLayout.addView(adView, 0);

    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
        .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
        .addTestDevice("XXXXXXXXXX")
        .build();
    adView.loadAd(adRequest);

Below are my XML codes

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout   
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
     xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     .......

     <LinearLayout
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
     android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
     android:orientation="horizontal" >


     <com.google.ads.AdView 
                android:id="@+id/ForViewAd"
                 android:layout_width="match_parent"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                 /> 
     </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

The logcat readings when running the app on the emulator are strange and confusing

As you can see, at least 3 errors are displayed from the logarithm. First, the google play services have been imported into the project. I can see this in the Android private libraries folder (but not in the libs folder).

There's also an error that says there isn't enough space, but I set the relativelayout of the right and left padding to 0sp. so there should be enough space in the width?

Finally, error code 1 or "Invalid unknown request error"? I do not understand this.

Apart from the logarithm and the fact that the ads are not showing anywhere in the action, the app ran fine, no problem.

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?

there is a problem with smart_banner // Not enough space to show ads. 360x50 dp required

BANNER ads work great,



I solve this as ... remove ads from layout and put in root layout, remove edge of root layout

<RelativeLayout>
  <LinearLayout>
   </LinearLayout>
  <layout>
   </layout>
 //here
 <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView />
 </RelativeLayout>

You added the testdevice id incorrectly, I found your device id in your logs and updated the code.

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
        .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
        .addTestDevice("5C2521D171291728A381823D5ACC9B8D")
        .build();
    adView.loadAd(adRequest);

Next, only one is enough in your layout file as your java code sets adunitid, testdeviceid and adsize. You can put it in java code or layout file.



<com.google.ads.AdView 
                android:id="@+id/ForViewAd"
                 android:layout_width="match_parent"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Including the official google page for more information https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/android/quick-start

Adding to @ Ranjith's answer, since you are using admob via google play services, you should change your layout like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout   
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
 xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 .......

 <LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
 android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
 android:orientation="horizontal" >

You can follow the official guide about migrating from old admob to new admob

By the way, do not post your correct adunit IDs on the internet in the future. I disguised it
