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:
