Android: Include new dialog to encourage users to add a new app review in PlayStore

[davigonz]

It would be great to increase the number of app reviews in Play Store so that we can receive more feedback from our users.

The idea is to create a new dialog that would appear from time to time (we will think about the exact frequency), asking the users for a new review and redirect them to the PlayStore.

Mockup:

@davigonz should I use a library for this purpose(there are some present)? Also, the design should be the same as in the screenshot?

Hi @harshitbansal05 , you don't need a new library, dialog fragments can be used for that purpose, we already have many of them implemented in our code, see this.

If you need more information. here you have the official documentation about Android dialogs: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html?hl=en

That was a initial mockup but you can propose a new one if you want.

do i need to set up a server or is there a demo server url so I can login into app.

You can use our demo site: https://demo.owncloud.org/login with the next credentials:

• admin/admin
• test/test
