Optional Steps
Native ads
Ad rendering
The Pangle adapter returns its native ads as
GADNativeAd
objects. It populates the following
fields
for a
GADNativeAd
.
Field | Assets always included by Pangle adapter |
---|---|
Headline | |
Image | 1 |
Body | |
Icon | |
Call to action | |
Star rating | |
Store | |
Price | |
Advertiser |
1 The Pangle adapter does not
provide direct access to the main image asset for its native ads. Instead, the
adapter populates the
GADMediaView
with a video or an image.
Error codes
If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Pangle, you can check the
underlying error from the ad response using
GADResponseInfo.adNetworkInfoArray
under the following classes:
GADMediationAdapterPangle
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Pangle adapter when an ad fails to load:
Error code | Domain | Reason |
---|---|---|
101 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing app ID or placement ID). |
102 | com.google.ads.mediation.pangle | The requested ad size does not match a Pangle supported banner size. |
