Failed to load ad 3

Question

I am using already working AdunitId and error code 3. Other apps with this AduntId is working fine. Here is my code.

adView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.ads);
adrequest =new AdRequest.Builder().build ;
adView.loadAd(adrequest);

Error Code 3 : ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL

Description (Dev Docs Link) : The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.

Why is it Happening : Advertisers can target specific regions, platforms and user profiles based on business relevance, which can sometimes result in lower availability of Ads for a particular region or user profile. Error code suggests that the implementation is correct, and that the Ad Request was not filled because of lack of availability of a suitable Ad at that particular instant of time when an Ad Request was sent from the app.

If you are getting this error, then your code is correct. The issue is that AdMob does not always have an ad to return for every request. This may happen particularly if you have just registered your AdMob publisher ID, as it takes some time and multiple requests before the new ID starts returning ads.

Another reason your fill rate may be low is that you don't have AdSense backfill enabled, or you have filtered out some ads. Check your app settings to see if that is the case.

Other apps that using this adunitid is working fine – deva Aug 04 '20 at 19:02
@deva is because of the lack of ad inventory. – Bijin Abraham Aug 04 '20 at 19:12
You can also add a test device https://developers.google.com/admob/android/test-ads incase the app is trying to load real ads @deva – Bijin Abraham Aug 04 '20 at 19:15

Does it load test ads – Bijin Abraham Aug 04 '20 at 23:00
Yes its load test ad – deva Aug 05 '20 at 09:25
Then the code is working fine. If you deploy the app to store it will work ok – Bijin Abraham Aug 05 '20 at 13:13
The app is not load real ads if not deploy to store? – deva Aug 05 '20 at 13:28
@deva according to the docs it seems to be that. Also the ads don't load because there is lack of ads in the inventory. Check my answer on what could be done. Otherwise your code is correct. – Bijin Abraham Aug 05 '20 at 14:55
Other app using that adunit id is loading real ads – deva Aug 05 '20 at 15:24
