I have an application in which AD was successfully running. I was using test AD id from google. Ad was coming properly. Now Ads stopped coming.
It says request successful, onfailed to receive Ad because lack of ad inventory.
I read same on stack overflow questions and saw many answers. But am wondered why Ads stopped suddenly!!
I had several code changes in between. But when I tried with one of my older version apk, then also Ad is not coming.
Now my application is complete. So am going to Add original Ad Id. So will there be any problems? And what this case means? This is something server side right?
How can I get other Test Ad Ids from google? Or is there any way to test for ads?
one simple question too.. Once I integrated my original Ad Id can I install it in my device before uploading to google play? Am new too all these. Any help would be appreciated.

From time to time most ad networks will have no ad to display. THis is the difference between an AdRequest (you asked for an ad) and an AdImpression (you received an ad).
TO counter that it is common to use Ad mediation and configure several networks such that if one fails to deliver an ad then next network is asked to provide one.
Personally I use Admob to mediate and include about 3 other networks to deliver alternate ad fill. NB mediation is also useful for keeping you eCPM rate high or switching off ad networks that start behaving aberrantly.
