Rating Reminder lib : encourage users to rate/comment your Android app

Introduction

Android apps ranking on Google Playstore and others Android appstores is using ratings and comments from users.

To get well ranked, an app needs a lot of comments and (good) ratings. The best way to achieve this is to ask users to put a comment on the appstore app's page.

This library facilitates this task, and can be configured to display an alert dialog periodically (each "gap" calls) or incrementally (gap is doubled each time the dialog is shown) until user accepts to put a comment.

• New: Demo app in source code illustrating lib integration, see /app directory
• Now installable by gradle
• Russian appstore Yandex support added. Alert dialogs have now 3 buttons, "No thanks" button added.
• Multiple appstores support added for Google Playstore, Amazon App-Shop and Kurio Store. Build once, distribute on all !!
• Easy and fast integration
• A lot of facultative options
• Customizable
• Opensource : use, share for free under Apache License 2.0 and contribute !
