My device id for AdMob Testing changed (Android)

I have set the device id of the phone I use for adMob testing as a const in my app. My testing device is not my day-to-day device.

Today I wanted to test a use case with a reward video and all of the sudden I get no fill or internal errors.

I took a look into the Log Cat and I saw that the device Id changed

By device Id I am referring to the one that comes in this log:

I/Ads: Use RequestConfiguration.Builder().setTestDeviceIds(Arrays.asList("THIS_ID_HERE") to get test ads on this device.

As per google given try to use below credential for testing ads.In that case you will not need to add Device Id.

<!--Ad test credentials-->
<string name="admob_app_id">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713</string>
<string name="banner_home_footer">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111</string>
<string name="interstitial_full_screen">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712</string>
<string name="rewarded_video">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917</string>

<!--Ad live credentials-->
<string name="admob_app_id">add here your live app id</string>
<string name="banner_home_footer">add here your live footer id</string>
<string name="interstitial_full_screen">add here your live interstitial id</string>
<string name="rewarded_video">add here your live rewarded id</string>

Now use below function for shows testing ads.

//Banner Ads
private void loadBannerAds(AdView mAdView) {
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
            .build();
    mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
}

//Interstitial Ads
private void loadInterstitialAds(final InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd) {
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
            .build();
    // Load ads into Interstitial Ads
    mInterstitialAd.loadAd(adRequest);
    mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
        public void onAdLoaded() {
            if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
                mInterstitialAd.show();
            }
        }
    });
}

//RewardedVideo Ads
private void loadRewardedVideoAd(RewardedVideoAd mRewardedVideoAd) {
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
            .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
            .build();

    mRewardedVideoAd.loadAd(context.getResources().getString(R.string.rewarded_video), adRequest);

    mRewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(new RewardedVideoAdListener() {
        @Override
        public void onRewarded(RewardItem rewardItem) {
        }
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdLeftApplication() {
        }
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdClosed() {
        }
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
        }
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoCompleted() {
        }
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdLoaded() {
            try {
                if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
                    mRewardedVideoAd.show();
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoAdOpened() {
        }
        @Override
        public void onRewardedVideoStarted() {
        }
    });

    // showing the ad to user
    // make sure the ad is loaded completely before showing it
    if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
        mRewardedVideoAd.show();
    }
}

I hope this can help you!

Device Id changes if you reset your phone. It may cause when you update your OS. It does not change randomly. Uninstalling prod version and installing a dev version should not change your device id(AFAIK).
