Integrare Line con la mediazione (beta)

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 Android app.

The dashboard interface for Line uses Japanese text for its labels, buttons, and descriptions. The screenshots in this guide have not been translated. In this guide's descriptions and instructions however, labels and buttons are translated with their English language equivalents in parentheses.

Configurare le impostazioni di mediazione per l'unità pubblicitaria

Devi aggiungere Line alla configurazione della mediazione per la tua unità pubblicitaria.

Innanzitutto, accedi all'account AdMob. Quindi, vai alla scheda Mediazione. Se vuoi modificare un gruppo di mediazione esistente, fai clic sul nome del gruppo per modificarlo e vai alla sezione Aggiungi Line come origine annuncio.

Per creare un nuovo gruppo di mediazione, seleziona Crea gruppo di mediazione.

Inserisci il formato dell'annuncio e la piattaforma, poi fai clic su Continua.

Assegna un nome al gruppo di mediazione e seleziona le località da scegliere come target. Imposta lo stato del gruppo di mediazione su Attivato e fai clic su Aggiungi unità pubblicitarie.

Associa questo gruppo di mediazione a una o più unità pubblicitarieAdMob esistenti. Poi, fai clic su Fine.

A questo punto, dovresti vedere la scheda delle unità pubblicitarie compilata con quelle selezionate:

Aggiungi Line come origine annuncio

Nella scheda Con struttura a cascata della sezione Origini annuncio, seleziona Aggiungi origine annuncio. Seleziona Line.

Se hai già una mappatura per Line, puoi selezionarla. In caso contrario, fai clic su Aggiungi mappatura.

Quindi, inserisci l' Application ID and Slot ID ottenuto nella sezione precedente. Poi, fai clic su Fine.

Step 3: Import the Line SDK and Adapter

Android Studio integration (recommended)

In your app-level build.gradle.kts file, add the following implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the Line SDK and adapter:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.3.0")
    implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:line:2.8.20240808.0")
}

Manual integration

1. Download the latest version of the Line SDK's .aar file and add it to your project.

2. Navigate to the Line adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the Line adapter's .aar file, and add it to your project.

Step 4: Add required code

No additional code is required for Line integration.

Step 5: Test your implementation

Attiva annunci di prova

Assicurati di registrare il dispositivo di test per AdMob

Segui le istruzioni riportate nella documentazione di Line su come attivare gli annunci di prova di Line.

Verifica annunci di prova

Per verificare di ricevere annunci di prova daLine, attiva il test di una singola origine annuncio nello strumento di controllo degli annunci utilizzando le Line (Waterfall) origini annuncio.

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 boolean to 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:

LineExtras lineExtras = new LineExtras(true);
Bundle extras = lineExtras.build();

Richiesta di annuncio request = new Richiesta di annuncio.Builder()
   .addNetworkExtrasBundle(LineMediationAdapter.class, extras)
   .build();

val lineExtras = LineExtras(true)
val extras = lineExtras.build()

val request = Richiesta di annuncio.Builder()
   .addNetworkExtrasBundle(LineMediationAdapter::class.java, extras)
   .build()

Using native ads

Ad rendering

The Line adapter populates the following Native ads advanced field descriptions for a NativeAd.

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:
