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.

and adapter:
dependencies {
implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.4.0")
implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:line:2.8.20240827.0")
}

file and add it to your project.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
Activer les annonces tests
Veillez à enregistrer votre appareil de test pour AdMob.
Suivez les instructions dans Documentation de Line pour savoir comment activer les annonces de test de ligne.
Valider les annonces tests
Pour vérifier que vous recevez des annonces tests deLine, activez le test d'une source d'annonce unique dans l'inspecteur d'annonces à l'aide de Line (Waterfall) sources d'annonces.
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:
Java
LineExtras lineExtras = new LineExtras(true);
Bundle extras = lineExtras.build();
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addNetworkExtrasBundle(LineMediationAdapter.class, extras)
.build();
Kotlin
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
.
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 |
---|---|---|
