Admob is not able to load any ads

Question

Admob is not able to load ads into my app. I have been waiting for a while, and still there is no ad.

   <com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView"
                     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                     ads:adUnitId="pub-||||||||||||||||" \\ blanked out. 
                     ads:adSize="BANNER"
                     ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, 20080411413fc082"
                     ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>

My Manifest

 <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
                android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation
|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>

LogCAT

10-06 20:43:28.187: W/Ads(11465): Invalid unknown request error: Cannot determine request type. Is your ad unit id correct?

You're using a wrong value in adUnitId. It's not your publisher ID, it's a separate number called Ad Unit ID.

In Admob, go to Monetise, All Apps, and expand "View code integration instructions" for your app. If it's not there, you have to add your app.

I just changed my adUnitId. But there is still no ad. I have heard you have to hours for ads to show in app, is that right? – Dushyant Patel Oct 07 '13 at 00:58
It may take some time to get the first ad, that's what admob said. But I got it in a few minutes. – Szymon Oct 07 '13 at 01:03

It worked my man, how about banner id to change according to device. Any idea for that. I want banner Id to show across screen – Dushyant Patel Oct 07 '13 at 01:16
You could use different layouts based on the device? – Szymon Oct 07 '13 at 01:17
Yea, i thought the same. Thanks a lot. – Dushyant Patel Oct 07 '13 at 01:19
yes, you are right its not a Publisher ID, its the unique id of each application – Pir Fahim Shah Jul 07 '14 at 09:15

finally this problem resolved for me ..... downgrade from 19 to 17 and upgrade from 3 to 13 like this :

android:minSdkVersion="13"
android:targetSdkVersion="17"

do more tests by the adv you get the ads

Did you forget permissions ?

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

the target SDK should be at least API 13

@RenaudFAVIER, I found the id on admob homepage, it was on top right corner. It was pub-something/something. – Dushyant Patel Oct 07 '13 at 00:55
@DushyantPatel No, it doesn't have to be. It can be whatever you need. – Szymon Oct 07 '13 at 00:55
@RenaudFAVIER My code compiles and works from API 8 and I can definitely see ads (though I only checked ads on a device on 2.3 which is API 9). – Szymon Oct 07 '13 at 00:56
Sorry, I got confused. I was taking about the minimum SDK. You were right about the target SDK. Very sorry! – Szymon Oct 07 '13 at 01:01

see... you first have to download your jar file from admob account for your application then do use the in your project and in Xml file mention that unitId which you have found from this way.. To get your admob ad unit id go to your admob account and click on Sites & Apps and then click the manage button underneath the app you are working with. You'll see the Publisher ID for the app on the details page. This is the Ad Unit ID. copy this to your xml file

after august 1 2014, admob updated the legacy ad nit id, we need to update to latest. Admob ad unit id will be in this format ca-app-pub-XxxXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXX"
