Reuse uploaded image from MediaService when creating TemplateAd (templateId=432)

[Chingiz Aitkul]

Hi there, I was able to create an Image TemplateAd (templateId=432) by 
directly creating a new Image via 
com.google.api.ads.common.lib.utils.Media.getMediaDataFromFile.

What I want to do now, is to reuse an Image I have previously uploaded via 
MediaService by its mediaId.

When I do this:

*TemplateAd templateAd = new TemplateAd();*
*templateAd.setTemplateId(432L);*
*...*


*Image image = new 
Image();image.setMediaId(image.getMediaId());templateAd.setAdAsImage(newImage);*

I get following request and error response. Could you please tell me why I 
get the error NullError.NULL_CONTENT? What am I doing wrong here?

*Request:*

Re: Can't set DYNAMIC_IMAGE MediaType when uploading animated GIF image via MediaService

[Chingiz Aitkul]

Hi, yes I can create the ad using UI with the very same animated gif Image.

Actually I can upload the Image via MediaService, and get a generated 
mediaId. The problem is that the Image media is not retrievable after that. 
On the other hand, when I upload a static GIF or JPEG Image, it is always 
retrievable via MediaService after that. The Java example code from 
google sets the media type as MediaMediaType.IMAGE, before uploading via 
MediaService, so I tried to set MediaMediaType.DYNAMIC_IMAGE instead, which 
generated an error I posted above.

The question is, why does MediaService reply with ok when I upload an 
animated GIF Image by specifying media type IMAGE, but then somehow 
"forget" it? If it is media type DYNAMIC_IMAGE, i should use when uploading 
animated GIFs, why do I get error from MediaService?

Can't set DYNAMIC_IMAGE MediaType when uploading animated GIF image via MediaService

[Chingiz Aitkul]

Hi there, I am trying to upload an animated GIF Image via upload() method 
of MediaService using example code provided with Java library for AdWords 
API. When I upload a static GIF or JPEG file it works ok.

When I try to upload an animated GIF Image, the Service replies with a 
MediaID without any errors, but when I query for all available media files, 
I don't recieve any entries for the animated GIF Images, only the static 
Image Uploads I retrieved.

I noticed that in the example code 
(adwords.axis.v201402.misc.UploadImage.java) the MediaType of the Image is 
set before uploading to MediaMediaType,IMAGE. So I Change it to 
MediaMediaType.DYNAMIC_IMAGE, and when I do so, I get the following error.

Could you please advice, if this is a bug or I am doing something wrong 
here?
