AdMob error when loading interstitial in emulator

When I try to load an interstitial, I get the following error:

The code I used to request an interstitial is directly beneath the code I use to request a banner (which works):

// Ads...
AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

// Create the interstitial.
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
//interstitial.setAdUnitId(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR);
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequestI = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice("B3EEABB8EE11C2BE770B684D95219").build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.loadAd(adRequestI);

Line 97 is the last line in the example above. I've tried using interstitial.setAdUnitId(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) instead of addTestDevice which doesn't throw an error, but also doesn't load the interstitial.

You must have to set AdUnitId before load Ads

    mAdView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
    mAdView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
    mAdView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-160126019342****/405183****");
    AdRequest.Builder adRequestBuilder = new AdRequest.Builder();
    adRequestBuilder.addTestDevice("B3EEABB8EE11C2BE770B684D95219ECB");

    mAdView.loadAd(adRequestBuilder.build());

you load your Ad before setting the ID:

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);// <-- Here

remove the first call so you get:

// Create the interstitial.
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this);
//interstitial.setAdUnitId(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR);
// Create ad request.
AdRequest adRequestI = new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice("B3EEABB8EE11C2BE770B684D95219").build();
// Begin loading your interstitial.
interstitial.loadAd(adRequestI);

furthermore ad this method:

// Invoke displayInterstitial() when you are ready to display an interstitial.
  public void displayInterstitial() {
    if (interstitial.isLoaded()) {
      interstitial.show();
    }
  }
