I have two ad units, both for banner. I am trying to load ads in my app whilst registering as a testing device as well. 


adView = (AdView) view.findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest.Builder builder = new AdRequest.Builder();
builder.addTestDevice("F8043E524DAF655DB25E042650FFAA54");
adView.loadAd(adRequest);

This is my xml. 


<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clipChildren="true"
android:clipToPadding="true"
android:orientation="horizontal">

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id_2" />

</RelativeLayout>


And this is the result of Logcat

I/Ads: Starting ad request.
I/Ads: This request is sent from a test device.
I/Ads: No fill from ad server.
W/Ads: Failed to load ad: 3

Hi Ali,

Thanks for contacting us. There are several factors that may come into play when you are seeing a No Fill Error Code: 3. Do you have any specific targets that you have added in the ad sources if you are using mediation to serve your ads? Error Code: 3 or No fill error suggests that the Ad request was successful but there are no ads available for that Ad request during those times. Could you test your Ad Unit Id with our sample app and see if the issue is reproducible? For us to debug on our end, could you provide us your Ad Unit Id? We would also suggest that you try mediating with supported third party Ad networks to avoid the No fills from the Ad inventory.

Please use "Reply privately to author" option to send the requested information.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for sharing your Ad Unit Ids privately. Let's continue our discussion on the forum thread, so it might help other users who are following this post. 

I was able to load ads by testing your Ad Unit ID with our sample apps without any issues. Could you try loading ads by changing the Package name and see if you were able to load ads? If yes, then it might be an issue with the package name that you are using. In such case, you would have to contact the AdMob Product Support Team and provide them the affected Package name to get this resolved. You can reach out to them via the Contact Us button on the upper right corner of this page

I didn't test it using sample app. As the Ads did load for 1 out of 20 times. I am going to try you suggestions now. Moreover , can u please guid me how can I get native advanced ads that are fo closed groups and in beta testing. I am making an app where I have to show a huge data in the form of feed. I tried its sample and its working fine. But I can't see any way around to get access of that beta version. as I dnt see any Contact Us button on my dashboard whatsoever.

Hi Ali,

Regarding Native ads-
 Native Ads Advanced is currently in a closed beta, and while we hope to make it available to all publishers in the future, we don't currently have a timeline for doing so. You can monitor our blog for all updates.

For this question- I dnt see any Contact Us button. I am attaching a screenshot as well. Please take a loot at it. 
 If you're not able to access the link provided, it could be because your AdMob account falls under earning less than $25 a week category. In such case, you may also use our Troubleshooter for more specific solutions.
