In cases where an ad fails to load, a
callback
is called which provides a LoadAdError
object.
For an AdView
, the following is called:
Kotlin
fun onAdFailedToLoad(error: LoadAdError)
Java
public void onAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError adError);
The following example shows the information available when an ad fails to load:
Kotlin
override fun onAdFailedToLoad(error: LoadAdError) {
// Gets the domain from which the error came.
val errorDomain = error.domain
// Gets the error code. See
// https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest#constant-summary
// for a list of possible codes.
val errorCode = error.code
// Gets an error message.
// For example "Account not approved yet". See
// https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9905175 for explanations of
// common errors.
val errorMessage = error.message
// Gets additional response information about the request. See
// https://developers.google.com/admob/android/response-info
// information.
val responseInfo = error.responseInfo
// Gets the cause of the error, if available.
val cause = error.cause
// All of this information is available using the error's toString() method.
Log.d("Ads", error.toString())
}
Java
@Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError error) {
// Gets the domain from which the error came.
String errorDomain = error.getDomain();
// Gets the error code. See
// https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/AdRequest#constant-summary
// for a list of possible codes.
int errorCode = error.getCode();
// Gets an error message.
// For example "Account not approved yet". See
// https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9905175 for explanations of
// common errors.
String errorMessage = error.getMessage();
// Gets additional response information about the request. See
// https://developers.google.com/admob/android/response-info
// for more information.
ResponseInfo responseInfo = error.getResponseInfo();
// Gets the cause of the error, if available.
AdError cause = error.getCause();
// All of this information is available using the error's toString() method.
Log.d("Ads", error.toString());
}

Debug common error logging messages
In version 23.5.0 of the Google Mobile Ads SDK, verbose logging was enhanced to include a stack trace of where the ad fails to load. These message don't indicate a crash, but rather identify the unique source of the error. The following table provides common error logs, descriptions, and suggested actions for resolution:
