• Android library that lets you prompt users to rate your application
• The prompting dialog will be displayed (if adequate) as soon as you call show() on your AppRater instance
• The dialog will only be shown if at least one application is available on the user's phone to handle the Intent that is defined by the target URI
• Adapts to your application's styles and themes
• Minimum API level: 8 (Android 2.2)

• Copy this Java package to your project's source folder
• or
• Create a new library project from this Java package and reference it in your apps

Decide which Activity you want to appear the rating prompt in (usually your MainActivity.java).

At the end of your Activity's onCreate(...) or onResume(), add the following:

new AppRater(this).show();

If you want to call the AppRater from a Fragment (e.g. at the end of onCreateView(...)), use the following line instead:

new AppRater(getActivity()).show();

This is the basic usage. Make sure to provide your correct application package.

You can customize the AppRater by using any of the following calls before show() (which are all optional):

AppRater appRater = new AppRater(this);
appRater.setDaysBeforePrompt(3);
appRater.setLaunchesBeforePrompt(7);
appRater.setPhrases(R.string.rate_title, R.string.rate_explanation, R.string.rate_now, R.string.rate_later, R.string.rate_never);
mAlertDialog = appRater.show();

There are three additional methods which you won't need to call, usually:

appRater.setPhrases("Rate this app", "This is the explanation why you should rate our app.", "Rate now", "Later", "No, thanks");
appRater.setTargetUri("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=%1$s");
appRater.setPreferenceKeys("app_rater", "flag_dont_show", "launch_count", "first_launch_time");

The first one lets you set the phrases as Strings directly, without referencing resources. The second one lets you enter an alternative target URI if you want to redirect the user to another appstore than Google Play (e.g. Amazon Appstore). The third method lets you change the name of the preferences, which you won't need to do, usually.

Be sure to check the JavaDoc for all these methods when using them. Don't forget to call show() which is the most important part.

In addition to that, please keep in mind that you should call setDaysBeforePrompt(0) and setLaunchesBeforePrompt(0) for debugging purposes, so that you can see the dialog right away.
