"Rate This App"-link in Google Play store app on the phone
Kotlin solution (In-app review API by Google in 2020):
You can now use In app review API provided by Google out of the box.
First, in your build.gradle(app)
file, add following dependencies (full setup can be found here)
dependencies {
// This dependency is downloaded from the Google’s Maven repository.
// So, make sure you also include that repository in your project's build.gradle file.
implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.8.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.play:core-ktx:1.8.1'
}
Create a method and put this code inside:
val manager = ReviewManagerFactory.create(context)
val request = manager.requestReviewFlow()
request.addOnCompleteListener { request ->
if (request.isSuccessful) {
// We got the ReviewInfo object
val reviewInfo = request.result
val flow = manager.launchReviewFlow(activity, reviewInfo)
flow.addOnCompleteListener { _ ->
// The flow has finished. The API does not indicate whether the user
// reviewed or not, or even whether the review dialog was shown. Thus, no
// matter the result, we continue our app flow.
}
} else {
// There was some problem, continue regardless of the result.
}
}

Here is a working and up to date code :)
/*
* Start with rating the app
* Determine if the Play Store is installed on the device
*
* */
public void rateApp()
{
try
{
Intent rateIntent = rateIntentForUrl("market://details");
startActivity(rateIntent);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e)
{
Intent rateIntent = rateIntentForUrl("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details");
startActivity(rateIntent);
}
}
private Intent rateIntentForUrl(String url)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(String.format("%s?id=%s", url, getPackageName())));
int flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21)
{
flags |= Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT;
}
else
{
//noinspection deprecation
flags |= Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET;
}
intent.addFlags(flags);
return intent;
}
Put the code in the Activity
you would like to call it from.
When the user clicks a button to rate the app, just call the rateApp()
function.
I open the Play Store from my App with the following code:
val uri: Uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=$packageName")
val goToMarket = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)
// To count with Play market backstack, After pressing back button,
// to taken back to our application, we need to add following flags to intent.
goToMarket.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY or
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT or
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK)
try {
startActivity(goToMarket)
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$packageName")))
}
Option 2: is to use resolveActivity instead of try..catch
if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(chooser);
} else {
openUrl();
}
I always use this code:
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=PackageName")));
