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.

광고 단위에 대한 미디에이션 설정 구성
Line 를 광고 단위의 미디에이션 구성에 추가해야 합니다.
먼저 AdMob 계정에 로그인합니다. 그런 다음 미디에이션 탭으로 이동합니다. 수정할 기존 미디에이션 그룹이 있는 경우 해당 미디에이션 그룹의 이름을 클릭하여 수정한 후 Line 광고 소스로 추가로 건너뜁니다.
새 미디에이션 그룹을 만들려면 미디에이션 그룹 만들기를 선택합니다.
광고 형식과 플랫폼을 입력하고 계속을 클릭합니다.
미디에이션 그룹에 이름을 지정하고 타겟팅할 위치를 선택합니다. 미디에이션 그룹 상태를 사용으로 설정한 다음 광고 단위 추가를 클릭합니다.
이 미디에이션 그룹을 하나 이상의 기존AdMob 광고 단위와 연결합니다. 그런 다음 완료를 클릭합니다.
이제 광고 단위 카드가 선택한 광고 단위로 채워진 것을 볼 수 있습니다.
광고 소스로 Line 추가
광고 소스 섹션의 폭포식 구조 카드에서 광고 소스 추가를 선택합니다. 그런 다음 Line을 선택합니다.
Line를 선택합니다. 그런 다음Line 에 eCPM 값을 입력하고 계속을 클릭합니다.이미 Line에 대한 매핑이 있는 경우 해당 매핑을 선택할 수 있습니다. 그렇지 않으면 매핑 추가를 클릭합니다.
그런 다음 이전 섹션에서 얻은 Application ID and Slot ID를 입력합니다. 그런 다음 완료를 클릭합니다.
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:2.8.20240827.0")
}
Manual integration
Download the latest version of the Line SDK's
.aar
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
테스트 광고 사용 설정
AdMob
라인 테스트 광고를 사용 설정하는 방법은 Line 문서 의 안내를 따르세요.
테스트 광고 확인
Line에서 테스트 광고를 수신하고 있는지 확인하려면 광고 검사기에서 Line (Waterfall) 광고 소스를 사용하여 단일 광고 소스 테스트를 사용 설정하세요.
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 |
---|---|---|
1-10 | com.five_corp.ad | Line SDK returned an SDK-specific error. See Line's documentation for more details. |
