NativeExpressAdView - Failed to load ad: 0 about googleads-mobile-android-examples HOT 7 CLOSED

With Native Ads Express, your NativeExpressAdView size needs to fit in the range of sizes you picked in the AdMob Front-end. In this case, Smart banner is not big enough.

See the Choosing a Size section in the docs for what the ranges are for the Native Ads Express templates. Now see how the sizing of Smart Banners works, since you chose SMART_BANNER as your size.

Let's say you're running this app on a Nexus 5 in portrait. The smart banner will be sized at 360x50. When you compare that against the requirements for the Native Ads Express templates, you'll see that even the Small template requires a height of 80dp. Because your size doesn't fit the requirements, you won't ever see an ad.

Try changing the size to ads:adSize="300x250". That size fits all 3 templates, and so you should get an ad back. I just tested it myself and it worked for your ad unit. For more precise measurements, double check which size you picked on the AdMob front-end, and make sure the width and height of your ad fits within the ranges.

We'll investigate more internally why the error code indicates internal error. This could be surfaced a bit better. However, I'm going to close this issue though for the reasons mentioned above.

I got this issue as well.

Thanks @ericleich for replying. I think Admob should show warnings about this case to help everyone can reproduce the mistakes.

Yep, I'm following up internally to see what can be done on that front.

What size are you giving the NativeExpressAdView, and what size template are you using in the AdMob UI?

Re: Try changing the size to ads:adSize="300x250".

Is there a list of supported ad sizes somewhere?

Is it true (seems to be) that the "test unit id" suggested in the documentation -- "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2177258514" -- only supports the larger sizes (e.g. 300x250, 360x320)?

If so (about the test unit id), then there is no good way to test "small" sized native ads -- since developers are not supposed to not only click on ads, but also even display them on their own devices?

Re: We'll investigate more internally why the error code indicates internal error.

Still getting this in firebase-ads:11.0.1 - comes back with "Error 0", which does not seem helpful.

Any chance for a proper error message?
