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.

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();

AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
   .addNetworkExtrasBundle(LineMediationAdapter.class, extras)
   .build();

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

val request = AdRequest.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:
