    layout.addView(adView);

    // Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad
    adView.setTesting(true);

    adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());

Answer 1

I’m unfamiliar with the setTesting() api call. In my AdMob code, I use

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.addTestDevice(MY_TEST_DEVICE_ID);
adView.loadAd(adRequest);

When I run the code and I don’t specify the test device I usually see a log message in the LOGCAT telling me to add my device id using the addTestDevice api
