Amazon Mobile Ads API issue with layout size

I want to switch from Admob to Amazon Ads, so I have basically everything done which is described in the official guide.

https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/mobileads/quick-start.html

  1. Replaced the admob xml layout with the amazon one
  2. Included xmlns namespace in parent layout
  3. Set all permissions manifest
  4. Set AdActivity in manifest
  5. Set Application Key
  6. Set AdTargetingOptions

The Ads are not showing off, because they seem to determine the wrong size.

This is the log

07-29 10:03:14.948  30966-30966/de.android.contacts D/AmazonMobileAds Configuration: Setting country configuration to United States.
07-29 10:03:14.948  30966-30966/de.android.contacts D/AmazonMobileAds Configuration: Country code set to us

The country code is also wrong, it should be Germany in my case.

What could cause this issue?

You need to add an Amazon:adSize attribute in your com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout. You also need to add this schema to the parent LinearLayout or RelativeLayout of your xml file:

xmlns:Amazon="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.amazon.device.ads" or it won't recognize the Amazon:adSize attribute.

More info on sizes available here.

Did you set the adSize attribute?

You also need to set layout_width and layout_height to match the adSize attribute.

<com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout
        android:id="@+id/adview"
        Amazon:adSize="1024x50"
        android:layout_width="1024dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"/>

If you want to have your ads AutoSize, you can do this:

<com.amazon.device.ads.AdLayout  
    android:id="@+id/adview" 
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

If that doesn't help, review this documentation and see if that helps.
