Optional steps
Network-specific parameters
The Line adapter supports an additional request parameter which can be passed
to the adapter using the GADMediationAdapterLineExtras
class. This class
includes the following properties:
adAudio
- Specifies 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:
Swift
import LineAdapter
// ...
let request = GADRequest()
let extras = GADMediationAdapterLineExtras()
extras.adAudio = GADMediationAdapterLineAdAudio.unmuted
// ...
request.register(extras)
Objective-C
#import <LineAdapter/LineAdapter.h>
// ...
GADRequest *request = [GADRequest request];
GADMediationAdapterLineExtras *extras = [[GADMediationAdapterLineExtras alloc] init];
extras.adAudio = GADMediationAdapterLineAdAudioUnmuted;
// ...
[request registerAdNetworkExtras:extras];
Using native ads
Ad rendering
The Line adapter populates the following
Native ads advanced field descriptions
for a
GADNativeAd
.
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
GADResponseInfo.adNetworkInfoArray
under the following classes:
GADMediationAdapterLine
