I'm trying to load admob native ads but I just can't. I can't see what is the problem. Spent 3 days on search and dont know where the problem is... Here is code for loading an ads:
private void getNativeAds() {
_nativeAdmobMutable = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(MutableNativeADModel.class);
AdLoader.Builder builder = new AdLoader.Builder(this, GlobalConstants.numberForNativeAdmob);
adLoader = builder.forUnifiedNativeAd(
new UnifiedNativeAd.OnUnifiedNativeAdLoadedListener() {
@Override
public void onUnifiedNativeAdLoaded(UnifiedNativeAd unifiedNativeAd) {
_nativeAds.add(unifiedNativeAd);
if (!adLoader.isLoading()) {
_nativeAdmobMutable.setAdmobNativeAd(_nativeAds);
}
if (isDestroyed()) {
unifiedNativeAd.destroy();
return;
}
}
}).withAdListener(
new AdListener() {
@Override
public void onAdLoaded() {
super.onAdLoaded();
}
@Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError errorCode) {
Log.d("ERROR ", errorCode.getMessage());
if (!adLoader.isLoading()) {
_nativeAdmobMutable.setAdmobNativeAd(_nativeAds);
}
}
}).withNativeAdOptions(new NativeAdOptions.Builder()
.build())
.build();
adLoader.loadAds(new AdRequest.Builder().build(), 5);
}
this method is called after
MobileAds.initialize(this, new OnInitializationCompleteListener() ... etc
this are my dependencies
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.1'
implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'

implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0'
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
Everytime onAdFailedToLoad callback is called with log:
I/Ads: Ad failed to load : 0
D/ERROR: Invalid template ID: -1
I also tried to load single ad like:
adLoader.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
and then I get error No ads config. and I/Ads: Ad failed to load : 3
Does anyone have some idea what could be the problem here ? I also have implemented banner, interstitial and video reward, they work just fine (app is live for almost a year on GP). Ofcourse i'm using TEST ID for ads, not real one. Thanks in advance !

Loading ad i allready wrote above. This is how to connect layout
public UnifiedNativeAdViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
super(itemView);
adView = (UnifiedNativeAdView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.ad_view);
// The MediaView will display a video asset if one is present in the ad, and the
// first image asset otherwise.
adView.setMediaView((MediaView) adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_media));
// Register the view used for each individual asset.
adView.setHeadlineView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_headline));
adView.setBodyView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_body));
adView.setCallToActionView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_call_to_action));
adView.setIconView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_icon));
adView.setPriceView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_price));
adView.setStarRatingView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_stars));
adView.setStoreView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_store));
adView.setAdvertiserView(adView.findViewById(R.id.ad_advertiser));
}
and populate like this
// Some assets are guaranteed to be in every UnifiedNativeAd.
((TextView) adView.getHeadlineView()).setText(nativeAd.getHeadline());
((TextView) adView.getBodyView()).setText(nativeAd.getBody());
((Button) adView.getCallToActionView()).setText(nativeAd.getCallToAction());
// These assets aren't guaranteed to be in every UnifiedNativeAd, so it's important to
// check before trying to display them.
NativeAd.Image icon = nativeAd.getIcon();
if (icon == null) {
adView.getIconView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
((ImageView) adView.getIconView()).setImageDrawable(icon.getDrawable());
adView.getIconView().setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
if (nativeAd.getPrice() == null) {
adView.getPriceView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
adView.getPriceView().setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
((TextView) adView.getPriceView()).setText(nativeAd.getPrice());
}
if (nativeAd.getStore() == null) {
adView.getStoreView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
adView.getStoreView().setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
((TextView) adView.getStoreView()).setText(nativeAd.getStore());
}
if (nativeAd.getStarRating() == null) {
adView.getStarRatingView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
((RatingBar) adView.getStarRatingView())
.setRating(nativeAd.getStarRating().floatValue());
adView.getStarRatingView().setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
if (nativeAd.getAdvertiser() == null) {
adView.getAdvertiserView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
((TextView) adView.getAdvertiserView()).setText(nativeAd.getAdvertiser());
adView.getAdvertiserView().setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
// Assign native ad object to the native view.
adView.setNativeAd(nativeAd);
