Cannot make MoPub deliver Native Ads to my Android App

I followed the Mopub instructions to implement their native ads in my Android App.

I checked the code with other sources and apparently, everything seems alright, but actually I cannot get Mopub to load any ad. My code is:

 SdkConfiguration sdkConfiguration = new SdkConfiguration
            .Builder("11a17b188668469fb0412708c3d16813") // trial #
            .build();
    MoPub.initializeSdk(this, sdkConfiguration, initSdkListener());

    MoPubNative moPubNative = new MoPubNative(this, "11a17b188668469fb0412708c3d16813", this); // 11a17b188668469fb0412708c3d16813

    ViewBinder viewBinder = new ViewBinder.Builder(R.layout.mopub_native_ad_list_item)
            .mainImageId(R.id.native_main_image)
            .iconImageId(R.id.native_icon_image)
            .titleId(R.id.native_title)
            .textId(R.id.native_text)
            .privacyInformationIconImageId(R.id.native_privacy_information_icon_image)
            .build();
    MoPubStaticNativeAdRenderer moPubStaticNativeAdRenderer = new MoPubStaticNativeAdRenderer(viewBinder);
    moPubNative.registerAdRenderer(moPubStaticNativeAdRenderer);

    EnumSet<RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset> desiredAssets = EnumSet.of( // Optional
            RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset.TITLE,
            RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset.TEXT,
            RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset.CALL_TO_ACTION_TEXT,
            RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset.MAIN_IMAGE,
            RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset.ICON_IMAGE,
            RequestParameters.NativeAdAsset.STAR_RATING
    );
    // RequestParameters mRequestParameters = new RequestParameters.Builder().desiredAssets(desiredAssets).build();

    moPubNative.makeRequest();

And the code of callbacks:

private SdkInitializationListener initSdkListener() {
    return new SdkInitializationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onInitializationFinished() {
       /* MoPub SDK initialized.
       Check if you should show the consent dialog here, and make your ad requests. */
        }
    };
}

@Override
public void onNativeLoad(final com.mopub.nativeads.NativeAd nativeAd) {
    FrameLayout mopubGloFrameLayout = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.flurrymainframe); // Parent where to attach the Native Ad
    View adView = nativeAd.createAdView(getBaseContext(), mopubGloFrameLayout);
    nativeAd.prepare(adView);
    nativeAd.renderAdView(adView);
    mopubGloFrameLayout.addView(adView);
}

@Override
public void onNativeFail(final NativeErrorCode errorCode) {
    Log.w(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), errorCode.toString());
}

@Override
public void onImpression(final View view) {
    // Ad impression has been recorded on MoPub and the corresponding ad network
}

@Override
public void onClick(final View view) {
    // Ad click has been recorded on MoPub and the corresponding ad network
}

And a snapshot of the MoPub Native variables after moPubNative.makeRequest() :

My relevant logcat:

Notice that I get this warning:

Make sure to call MoPub#initializeSdk before loading an ad.

According to variables in the snapshot, I managed to load something, so why it says it didn't?

I just don't know what else to do. There are similar cases of MoPub Native failure in stackoverflow, but none in reality proposes any solution, not even alternatives to get one closer. And MoPub pseudosupport sucks. Have you by chance implemented MoPub Native Ads successfully? If so, can you see what could be wrong with my code? Thanks
