Requesting user to rate/review/comment on Android Market
I wrote a simple library to do that.
It is called AppRate and you can find it on GitHub here.
Features:
- Do not prompt the user if the app has crashed once.
- Decide exaclty when to prompt the user. (number of launches ...)
- Customize the rate dialog to fit your application design.
Usage example:
It is very easy to install and use:
Drop the jar in your libs
folder.
Then include the following code in the onCreate
method of your MAIN
activity.
new AppRate(this)
.setShowIfAppHasCrashed(false)
.setMinDaysUntilPrompt(0)
.setMinLaunchesUntilPrompt(20)
.init();
- This code will show a default rate dialog after 20 launches.
- It will be shown only if the app has never crashed.
- The rate button points to your application in the Google Play Store.
I hope this can help you. :)
No. Currently the only thing you can do is direct the user to the market to rate or leave a comment. Hopefully they will build a market api in the future that will allow better app-market interaction.
