Create TextAd using Google AdWords Java API

[Suresh Kumar Shenbagam]

Hi,

I am unable to create TextAd using Google AdWords JAVA API. Can anyone send me the java source to create the same.

Code:

TextAd textAd = new TextAd();
   textAd.setHeadline("Test Headline");
   textAd.setDescription1("Description1");
   textAd.setDescription2("Description2");
   textAd.setFinalUrls(new String[] {"http://cloudsense.com"});


AdGroupAdServiceInterface adGroupAdService =
        adWordsServices.get(session, AdGroupAdServiceInterface.class);
AdGroupAd adGroupAd = new AdGroupAd();
                  adGroupAd.setAdGroupId(adgroupid);
                  adGroupAd.setAd(textAd);
                  adGroupAd.setStatus("PAUSED");
AdGroupAdOperation adGroupAdOperation = new AdGroupAdOperation();
                  adGroupAdOperation.setOperand(adGroupAd);
                  adGroupAdOperation.setOperator(Operator.ADD);




    AdGroupAdReturnValue result = adGroupAdService.mutate(adGroupAdOperation );

Am getting the following error:

Hi Suresh,

Could you try and create ExpandedTextAds instead? Since 2016, creation of standard TextAds was no longer supported in the AdWords API as discussed in this blog post from the same year.

Thanks and regards,
