Setup

To begin, you must include the necessary dependency in your project. Open the :app/build.gradle.kts file and add the following line:

dependencies {

implementation("com.google.android.play:review-ktx:2.0.1")

}

Creating the Review Request

Next, we will set up the requestReview function within MainActivity.kt. Start by creating an instance of ReviewManager, which is essential for initiating the review request flow.

private fun requestReview() {

val manager = ReviewManagerFactory.create(applicationContext)

}

To generate the review request, utilize the manager.requestReviewFlow() method. It's a good practice to store this in a variable for better code clarity.

val request = manager.requestReviewFlow()

We must now monitor the request's outcome. If the response is successful, we can proceed to launch the review flow.

request.addOnCompleteListener { task ->

if (task.isSuccessful) {

manager.launchReviewFlow(this@MainActivity, task.result)

} else {

// Handle the error

}

}

Here is the complete function:

private fun requestReview() {

val manager = ReviewManagerFactory.create(applicationContext)

val request = manager.requestReviewFlow()

request.addOnCompleteListener { task ->

if (task.isSuccessful) {

manager.launchReviewFlow(this@MainActivity, task.result)

} else {

// Handle the error

}

}

}

Before you test the code, remember to invoke the function within your implementation. You can do this by using LaunchedEffect in the onCreate method.

LaunchedEffect(key1 = true) {

requestReview()

}

How to Test the Implementation?

To verify your code, your application must be published on the Play Store. If it is, navigate to the Google Play Console and access the internal testing section.

After configuring your testers list and publishing the .aab file, obtain the link to your app. Go to the Downloads tab and copy the shareable link. Prior to accessing this link on your device, ensure that internal testing is enabled.
