Adwhirl ads don't show

Question

I've set up AdWhirl before on another app, but now it's not working for me for some reason.

I've set up AdMob and retrieved the publisherID, then added it into the AdWhirl site, and configured the percentage, but I don't see any ads. I don't even see test ads.

I do this:

public class Juggle2 extends Activity {

//...
AdWhirlLayout _ad;
public MainMenu  mm;


@Override  
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    _ad = new AdWhirlLayout(this,"4ae6c5e2da3a4f20898312265874b1d3");
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams adWhirlLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(320, 52);

    RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(this);
    rl.addView(_ad,adWhirlLayoutParams);

    mm = new MainMenu(this);
    rl.addView(mm);


    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(rl);   //Start the menu

    }

Then I get this.

Make sure you're compiling against the latest versions of the AdMob/AdWhirl SDK.

The AdMob SDK at some point changed their AdRequest setter methods, such as setGender to return the AdRequest instead of being void. AdWhirl then updated to compile against the new version of the SDK.

So if you have an AdWhirl version that was compiled against the void setGender() method, but an AdMob SDK bundled with AdRequest setGender() (or vice versa), you'll get this error.
