I guess you are using the Admob Adaptive Banner. If so, then you are probably missing an instance of AdView. Make sure that you have the following code in onCreateView and call loadBanner() function after the instance of AdView is created:

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ...
    adContainerView = findViewById(R.id.ad_view_container);

    adView = new AdView(this);
    adView.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.adaptive_banner_ad_unit_id));
    adContainerView.addView(adView);
    loadBanner();
  }

you want to use AdSize from com.google.android.gms.ads and it returns null. you can declare the size of BANNER, or I recommend that you use Firebase - Ads. I hope I have helped.
