0. What is AdMob?

AdMob by Google is a mobile advertising platform that allows you to earn significant revenue from your app. By combining AdMob with Firebase analytics, you can not only get more application usage data, but also improve your analytical capabilities. Without changing your existing AdMob configuration, Firebase can be integrated with AdMob.

1. What are the types of AdMob ads?

There are four kinds of total.
They are:Banner (Banner ad ),interstitial (interstitial),rewarded Video (in-app purchase ads),Native (native ads).

• Banner (Banner AD): The most common is the screen usually seen at the bottom or at the top of a horizontal bar of the banner.
• Interstitial (inset AD): Similar to the start Page ad, the entire screen displays an ad.
• Rewarded video (in-app purchase ads): This play foreign game often see, you watch an advertising video, the game will reward you some props or other what ( this bonus is an integer, you can set the number in AdMob, the user watching the video will get this amount of reward, such as reward 3 bottles of potions, 3 life and so on. ).
• Native (native AD): This is the best form of advertising, seamless with the native app, and maybe you've seen a list of items that show ads, that's the form.

2. Take Banner advertising as an example, Access admob2-1. Account

you need a Google account , then sign up for AdMob, and if you have a Google account you can sign in directly.
You can't go on until you have an account!

4. Precautions

<: NOTICE:>

When you sign up for your AdMob account, create your project, get the corresponding ID, and prepare for the test, you may get some errors: Failed to load ad 3, or there was a problem getting an ad response. Errorcode:0 and so on.

Note that the project you created takes a while to test, so even though your code and configuration are correct, you still get the error. Wait for a while, I was about 2 hours before normal.

<: NOTICE:> about rewarded Video (in-app purchase ads)

You have a high chance of getting an error when testing----failed to load ad 3, and the method's failure callback responds.

It's just that the system doesn't have any ads to return to you, that is, in-app video ads aren't always there.

The error message can be explained on the official website:

public static final int ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL  --> Constant Value: 3The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.广告请求已成功，但由于缺少广告资源，没有返回任何广告。

More error messages can be found on the official website: https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest

5. Summary

Google's ads heard more intentions, the actual effect does not know how, this article describes the incomplete or future changes are subject to the official website.
