This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from Line using mediation, covering waterfall integrations. It covers how to add Line to an ad unit's mediation configuration, and how to integrate the Line SDK and adapter into an Android app.

Optional steps
Network-specific parameters
The Line adapter supports an additional request parameter which can be passed
to the adapter using the LineExtras class. This class constructor includes
the following parameters:
enableAdSound- A
booleanto specify the default sound start state of banner, interstitial and rewarded ads.
Here's a code example of how to create an ad request that sets these parameters:
Java
LineExtras lineExtras = new LineExtras(true);
Bundle extras = lineExtras.build();
AdManagerAdRequest request = new AdManagerAdRequest.Builder()
.addNetworkExtrasBundle(LineMediationAdapter.class, extras)
.build();
Kotlin
val lineExtras = LineExtras(true)
val extras = lineExtras.build()
val request = AdManagerAdRequest.Builder()
.addNetworkExtrasBundle(LineMediationAdapter::class.java, extras)
.build()
Using native ads
Ad rendering
The Line adapter populates the following
fields
for a
NativeAd.
| Field | Assets always included by Line adapter |
|---|---|
| Headline | |
| Image | |
| Body | |
| App icon | 1 |
| Call to action | |
| Star rating | |
| Store | |
| Price |
1 For native ads, the Line SDK does not provide an app icon asset. Instead, the Line adapter populates the app icon with a transparent image.
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Line, you can check the
underlying error from the ad response using
ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses()
under the following classes:
com.line.ads
com.google.ads.mediation.line.LineMediationAdapter
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Line adapter when an ad fails to load:
| Error code | Domain | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1-10 | com.five_corp.ad | Line SDK returned an SDK-specific error. See Line's documentation for more details. |
