Ad failed to load in android

Question

I have integrated Mopub Ads sdk in my application. I have created an account at Mopub and got an AdUnitId for my aplication.

I have followed all the steps mentioned in the mopub tutorial, though steps were very simple, i failed to display ads in my application. I always keep getting the following logs:

D/MoPub(2393): MoPub server returned invalid response.

I/MoPub(2393): Ad failed to load.

Here is my code for fetching Ad banner:

MoPubView mAdView = (MoPubView) findViewById(R.id.adview);
        mAdView.setAdUnitId("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"); 
        mAdView.loadAd();
        mAdView.setOnAdLoadedListener(new OnAdLoadedListener() {
            public void OnAdLoaded(MoPubView mpv) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Ad loaded!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

Note: I havent added payment details on Mopub server yet. Can this be the probable reason. But i think payment details has nothing to do with the above mentioned exception.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The code for fetching your banner looks fine. The payment details should not affect anything. The first AdUnit you setup should automatically include a 'demo campaign' that will serve a 'It Worked' ad. Goto 'Campaigns' on the MoPub site and confirm that this exists and is enabled for your AdUnit.

As for the error:

D/MoPub(2393): MoPub server returned invalid response.

I/MoPub(2393): Ad failed to load.

I recently encountered this during testing - so far I have only noticed it happening with API8. All other versions I have tested have successfully served the demo ad.

Try testing against another version (if you discover what is going on here please append it to this answer).
