Admob : No fill from ad server - Failed to load ad: 3

[vhycko mayaut]

Hallo, can someone help me?

My issue is that ads are not being displayed at all in my app, test mode or not. I am going to keep this question specific to test mode, and once I get that working I will worry about live ads.

Development Information

I am using Eclipse for development.

I have setup ads using Google Play Services and Admob in my Android app, as described in the online documentation provided by Google.

I have added my device ID using addTestDevice("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"), and have checked the hashed device ID a number of times to be sure it is correct.

The Issue (see below for log info)

When I run the application on my device, no ads are displayed at all. This happens even when I have added my device as a test device.

I have searched high and low, and turned up many similar issues, but am yet to find an answer to this specific problem.

Hello,

Your code here looks fine, and especially for test ads, I can't think of a reason for why you'd be getting no fill (which is error code 3).

Is there any chance you can proxy the ad request and provide the exact ad request url you're seeing? Alternatively, could you provide a .apk that I could use to generate this request url myself?

Thanks,
Eric
