Google Play Ads are showing blank page (API 19)

[Umar S]

Hi,

I am facing a very strange issue, i have followed all the instructions mentioned here: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/android/quick-start

to integrate ads in my application.

it shows blank area instead of showing ads in it.

please see my code: using SDK (4.4w)

1) Activity Code

 AdView adView = (AdView)this.findViewById(R.id.adView);

        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()

            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)

            .build();

        adView.loadAd(adRequest);

2) Google play services are enabled on my phone just verified through  following code

int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());

3)  Layout code

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <LinearLayout

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:background="@drawable/activity_background"

        android:orientation="vertical"

         >

<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView 

            xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

    android:id="@+id/adView"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    ads:adUnitId="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

    ads:adSize="BANNER"

                       />

 </LinearLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

4) Manifest code:

 <activity

            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"

            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

        <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"

           android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

Hi Umar,

4.4w is the Android Wear SDK. The Mobile Ads SDK is not designed for use with it.
