TwoStageRate is a library to help you promote your android app by prompting users to rate the app after using it for a few days. Also its two stage process ensures higher reviews to go to playstore while getting useful feedback on lower ratings.
Stage 1) A dialog is displayed to prompt users to rate your app.
Stage 2) If user gives 3 or less rating -> A feedback dialog is shown asking users what went wrong? If users gives 4 or more rating -> User is requested to rate your app on playstore.
For gradle, go to your app.gradle file and inside dependencies{} add :
compile 'com.morsebyte.shailesh.twostagerating:TwoStageRate:1.0'
Thats it, you are good to go.
To put it simply, it can be done just in one line of code inside your activity's ' onCreate(...'
TwoStageRate.with(this).twoStageRate.showIfMeetsConditions();
It sets the texts (as in above pics) and conditions (5 days of use or 5 times opening of app or 5 times setting of an custom event) to defaults.
( optional) If you want to change conditions, you can do this insted inside activity's ' onCreate(..'
TwoStageRate twoStageRate = TwoStageRate.with(this);
//initialises condintions to 5 days of use, 10 times of launch use or 5 triggers of custom event.
twoStageRate.setInstallDays(5).setLaunchTimes(10).setEventsTimes(5);
//If user dismisses it, it simply resets again.
twoStageRate.resetOnDismiss(true);
twoStageRate.showIfMeetsConditions();
'setEventsTime(int n)' sets this dialog on 'n' custom event triggers (like 'n times user clicks a button/ buys a product etc.'). You can increment this trigger anywhere like this:
TwoStageRate.with(MainActivity.this).incrementEvent();
( optional) On receiving feedback, any action can be done on the feedback using feedbacklistener
twoStageRate.setFeedbackReceivedListener(new FeedbackReceivedListener() {
@Override
public void onFeedbackReceived(String feedback) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, feedback, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
**( optional)**However if you want to costumize all three diologs as per your app specific text, you can do it like this (You may want to include it inside such a function to be called from 'onCreate(.. ':
initTwoStage {
TwoStageRate twoStageRate = TwoStageRate.with(this);
//Setting conditions
twoStageRate.setInstallDays(5).setEventsTimes(5).setLaunchTimes(5);
twoStageRate.resetOnDismiss(true);
twoStageRate.showIfMeetsConditions();
//Setting feedback listener
twoStageRate.setFeedbackReceivedListener(new FeedbackReceivedListener() {
@Override
public void onFeedbackReceived(String feedback) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, feedback, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
//Setting texts for initial prompt
twoStageRate.with(this).setRatePromptTitle("INITIAL_TITLE").
setRatePromptLaterText("LATER_TEXT").setRatePromptNeverText("NEVER_TEXT").setRatePromptDismissible(false);
//Setting texts for confirmation dialog
twoStageRate.with(this).setConfirmRateDialogTitle("CONFIRMATION_TITLE").
setConfirmRateDialogDescription("CONFIRMATION_DESCRITPION").
setConfirmRateDialogPositiveText("POSITIVE_BUTTON_TEXT").
setConfirmRateDialogNegativeText("NEGATIVE_BUTTON_TEXT").
setConfirmRateDialogDismissible(true);
//Setting texts for feedback title
twoStageRate.with(this).setFeedbackDialogTitle("FEEDBACK_TITLE").
setFeedbackDialogDescription("FEEDBACK_DIALOG_DESCRIPTION").
setFeedbackDialogPositiveText("POSITIVE_BUTTON_TEXT").
setFeedbackDialogNegativeText("NEGATIVE_BUTTON_TEXT").
setFeedbackDialogDismissible(false);
}
Kindly contribute the library to include
- Custom styles. Or Picking up application's app icon and accent colors.
- Reporting and fixing bugs
Cheers!
