Now that you’ve built everything and tested your In App Review feature, it’s time to improve the experience and add some final touches. Open the InAppReviewManagerImpl.kt file and change the startReview() function like so:
override fun startReview(activity: Activity) {
if (reviewInfo != null) {
reviewManager.launchReviewFlow(activity, reviewInfo).addOnCompleteListener { reviewFlow ->
onReviewFlowLaunchCompleted(reviewFlow)
}
} else {
sendUserToPlayStore()
}
}
private fun onReviewFlowLaunchCompleted(reviewFlow: Task<Void>) {
if (reviewFlow.isSuccessful) {
logSuccess()
} else {
sendUserToPlayStore()
}
}
private fun sendUserToPlayStore() {
val appPackageName = context.packageName
try {
context.startActivity(
Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("market://details?id=$appPackageName")
)
)
} catch (error: Error) {
context.startActivity(
Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$appPackageName")
)
)
}
}
fun clearIfUserDidNotRate()
override fun clearIfUserDidNotRate() {
if (!hasUserRatedApp()) {
sharedPreferences.edit {
putBoolean(KEY_CHOSEN_RATE_LATER, false)
putLong(KEY_RATE_LATER_TIME, 0)
}
}
}
