Implement In-App Review API Flow In Android Studio Application

Once your app is live on playstore, app rating and reviews are very crusical factors to drive more downloads. To achive this, we usually ask users to rate the app by showing a dialog with couple of buttons and redirecting them to playstore. With this user experience, there are chances that user might not come back to our app once redirected to playstore. Also a novice user finds it difficult to rate the app on playstore.

But Google finally heard us! They have introduced a new shiny API for in-app review functionality With this API we can present a popup & ask for Review inside the app without having to redirect to Playstore. That’s Awesome, isn't it? Let’s learn all about it in this article.

Minimum requirements

•     Android devices should be running on Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher and should have Google play store installed.

•     Chrome OS devices that have Google play store app installed.

•     Play core library with v1.8.0 or higher.

Design guidelines & Quota restrictions

•     The Review card (popup) should not be tampered or altered by modifying the design.

•     Any overlay should not be added on top or around the card.

•     Review dialog should not be programmatically removed (It will automatically be removed based on user actions)

•     To protect user privacy and avoid API misuse, this API has a limited quota per user. Hence this functionality should not be triggered on a button click.

•     Before presenting the Review card, the app should not ask user opinions like “Do you like the app?” or “Give this app 5 stars”, etc.

Let’s Implement!

1.    Add play-core library as a dependency in your build.gradle file.
implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.8.0'

2    After Sync. Write this code and call it OnCreate 

// Application Google In-App Review API Flow Method private void InAppReview() { manager = ReviewManagerFactory.create(this); Task<ReviewInfo> request = manager.requestReviewFlow(); request.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<ReviewInfo>() { @Override public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<ReviewInfo> task) { if (task.isSuccessful()) { reviewInfo = task.getResult(); Task<Void>flow = manager.launchReviewFlow (HomeActivity.this,reviewInfo); flow.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Void>() { @Override public void onSuccess(Void result) { } }); } } }); } // Application Google In-App Review API Flow Method
