Hi Gabriel,

In order to get the final URLs, you will need to select it using CreativeFinalUrls. If you are still having issues, please let me know.

Thanks, that was the issue

I'm having a similar problem, but using CreativeFinalUrls isn't fixing it for me:

final SelectorBuilder selector =  new SelectorFactory()

            .build(AdGroupAdField.Id,
                   AdGroupAdField.AdGroupId,
                   AdGroupAdField.Status,
                   AdGroupAdField.CreativeFinalUrls,
                   AdGroupAdField.CreativeFinalAppUrls,
                   AdGroupAdField.CreativeFinalMobileUrls)          
            .orderAscBy(AdGroupAdField.Id)
            .in(AdGroupAdField.Id, adIdsAsStrings.toArray(new String[]{}))
            .equals("AdType", getAdType());

Calling getFinalUrls on the ExpandedTextAd returns null every time. I'm getting the other fields such as headline and description just fine.
