Hi all, I'm adding AdMob ads (say that five times fast) to my finished, published Android app. I added the code from the PDF included with AdMob, following their instructions to a tee. The test ads show up fine on my emulators and specified test devices. They just don't appear in the published marketplace app when you download and run it. I still get impressions on my AdMob page however. Any ideas?
A:
I know that the admob code does not display anything until it connects to the server and receives an ad. In my app it can take several seconds for the ad to display, but not usually longer than that.

No, it doesn't show up no matter how long I wait. If I take the testing flag off it doesn't show up in the emulator either, and my logcat says "Ignoring requestFreshAd()", and a few lines later "No fill. Server replied no ads are available"

Never mind, it randomly started working on its own when I removed the testing flag again. Weird stuff, haha
Edit: no. No it didn't. This is really starting to get frustrating. It now works in the emulator, but not on a real phone.

I notice this fairly often with admob on one of my apps, while another seems to serve up ads just fine. Can't figure it out either, but I suspect it has to do with AdMob not having any campaigns that tailor to your application description and keywords.
