This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from Line using AdMob 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 app.

Optional steps
Network-specific parameters
The Line adapter supports an additional request parameter which can be passed
to the adapter using the GADMediationAdapterLineExtras
class. This class
includes the following properties:
adAudio
- Specifies 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:
Swift
import LineAdapter
// ...
let request = AdRequest()
let extras = GADMediationAdapterLineExtras()
extras.adAudio = GADMediationAdapterLineAdAudio.unmuted
// ...
request.register(extras)
Objective-C
#import <LineAdapter/LineAdapter.h>
// ...
AdRequest *request = [AdRequest request];
GADMediationAdapterLineExtras *extras = [[GADMediationAdapterLineExtras alloc] init];
extras.adAudio = GADMediationAdapterLineAdAudioUnmuted;
// ...
[request registerAdNetworkExtras:extras];
Using native ads
Ad rendering
The Line adapter populates the following
Native ads advanced field descriptions
for a
GADNativeAd
.
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
GADResponseInfo.adNetworkInfoArray
under the following classes:
GADMediationAdapterLine
Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Line adapter when an ad fails to load:
Error code | Domain | Reason |
---|---|---|
1-10 | Sent by Line SDK | Line SDK returned an SDK-specific error. See Line's documentation for more details. |
101 | com.google.ads.mediation.line | Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing Application ID or Slot ID). |
102 | com.google.ads.mediation.line | The requested ad size does not match a Line supported banner ad size. |
