I tried @Erel sample, created a project from the codes on the thread,
FirebaseAdMob2 - Google Mobile Ads SDK v20+ | B4X Programming Forum

FirebaseAdMob2 - Google Mobile Ads SDK v20+

This is a wrapper for Google Mobile Ads v20+ SDK. It is a modified version of FirebaseAdmob (1). This library works with Google Mobile Ads v20+. The previous library works with v19-. Note that you can use FirebaseAdMob2 without creating a Firebase account. It supports banner ads and...

But the app just closes without any error, both in release and debug modes.
I understand I need to make some changes as per error to fix them, but do not know where to begin.

In FirebaseAdMob2 thread it is mentioned,

Note that you can use FirebaseAdMob2 without creating a Firebase account.

So I am more interested in it, as I had too many problems in Firebase account earlier.

I can attach the sample projects I tried, if it helps.

- Check the unfiltered log.
- Did you put the AdMob App Id in the manifest?
- Did you initialized the MobileAds in the Starter?

Check this example too:

[B4XPages] Admob Example

Check this other excellent example from @Jack Cole. To help the new members to make money with B4A, I tried to compile all the relevant Admob code (except mediation) of the forum in this example and put comments and links. This is a work in progress. Any code and sample to improve this example...

Thanks for reply.

I made changes in starter still crashes on run. No log both in filtered and unfiltered.

I was going to check you example, but as you mentioned at top, so went for Jack's one
Checked now but it also gives error

I have attached the activity sample which I created from Erel's example, as I am interested in Activity+Banner only as of now.
I want to check in test ad ids now. If Ok, then will put mine.
I request If you get time, please check and guide me, if possible.

1 - If you check the unfiltered log of your example, will see:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAdsInitProvider: java.lang.IllegalStateException:
******************************************************************************
* Invalid application ID. Follow instructions here:                          *

Your Admob App ID in manifest is wrong. Try with this sample code and use your real app ID in production:

AddReplacement($ADMOB_APP_ID$, ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713)  'Sample AdMob app ID

2 - You put this line in Service_Start and disable this:

''    Dim m As MobileAds

2.1 - Put this line in Service_Create (Starter) and remove all other codes:

    Dim m As MobileAds
    Wait For (m.Initialize) MobileAds_Ready

3 - Here your example running:

Thanks a Lot @asales ? for helping me out.

Your Admob App ID in manifest is wrong.

I got it from the Erel's thread, maybe it is changed now.
Anyway your sample is running perfectly correct here and now I can move forward. Thank you again.

If you are starting now, I think is better uses only banner and interstitial ads.
Later you can check the other options.
