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.

Aggiungi Line come origine annuncio
Nella scheda Con struttura a cascata della sezione Origini annuncio, seleziona Aggiungi origine annuncio. Seleziona Line.
Seleziona Line. Inserisci un valore eCPM perLine e fai clic su Continua.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:23.4.0")
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
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:
Java
LineExtras lineExtras = new LineExtras(true);
Bundle extras = lineExtras.build();
Richiesta di annuncio request = new Richiesta di annuncio.Builder()
.addNetworkExtrasBundle(LineMediationAdapter.class, extras)
.build();
Kotlin
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
.
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. |
