I am using admob in my app, it was working fine but suddenly it stopped showing ads at all. Bellow is my codes i used:
mainActivity.xml:
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id">
</com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
MainActivity.java
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
AndroidManifest:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<!--Include the AdActivity configChanges and theme. -->
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />
I followed all the instructions from adMob site as i said it was working few days ago.
Bellow are few line from logcat which may be related to my issue:

I get bellow warning repeatedly and it appears more when i click the blank area where ad should be showing

Answer
Use below lines of code
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) // All emulators
.addTestDevice("AC98C820A50B4AD8A2106EDE96FB87D4") // My Galaxy Nexus test phone
.build();
mAdView.loadAd(request );
instead of using this
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
because this line will be used when your application would be ready for publish on Google Play Store.
You can place your device's id in place of "AC98C820A50B4AD8A2106EDE96FB87D4". Code to get device id:
String android_id = Settings.Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
