I build hello world app with test mode but no test ads showing .

[MichaelStott]

Can you share the logcat output of the android app?

from kivmob import KivMob, TestIds
class MyApp(App):
    def build(self):
        self.ads = KivMob(TestIds.APP)
        self.ads.new_banner(TestIds.BANNER, top_pos=True)
        self.ads.request_banner()
        self.ads.show_banner()
        return Button(text="Hello")

That looks pretty normal. How does your buildozer.spec file look?

[MichaelStott]

Actually, after looking at your code again, you are attempting to show a banner ad immediately after loading the banner ad in the build function of your app. You should have some callback associated with on_click that shows the banner ad only if one has been loaded.

@MichaelStott Actually I did..... But still ads ain't showing.

2 years on I know but I've got the same issue. App compiles fine but doesn't show the test banner ad.

buildozer.spec file (relevant parts):

requirements = python3,kivy,sqlite3,kivymd==1.2.0,kivmob

android.permissions = android.permission.INTERNET, (name=android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;maxSdkVersion=18), ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

android.api = 33

android.minapi = 21

android.sdk = 33

android.ndk = 25b

android.gradle_dependencies = com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:21.4.0

android.enable_androidx = True

in my main.py file:

from kivymob import KivMob, TestIds

    ads = KivMob("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713")
    def build(self):
        self.ads.new_banner(TestIds.BANNER, False)
        self.ads.request_banner()
        self.ads.show_banner()

I tried to look at the logs but when I run buildozer android debug deploy run logcat it instantly prints a load of gibberish to the console, which means I can't read the logs.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I downloaded kivmob through Pycharm. I know above it's mentioned to have a callback after on_click to load the ad but surely that isn't needed as I want the ad to appear as the user loads the first page, I don't want them to have to click a button to see the ad.
