After attending a talk about how to market our applications in better ways I just published a library I developed to ask users to users a rating on the Play Store.
It is extremely simple. It keeps track of the first time the application has been used and a counter of the number of times the application has been launched.
You can configure when you want to ask the user to rate your application both in term of number of launches and days from the installation.
When the conditions are met, the library creates a dialog with a button to open the Play Store page of the application, a button to postpone the alert and a button to dismiss it and never get asked again.
You can get the library from GitHub.
Feedbacks and recommendation about how I could improve it are very welcome.

Step 1ownload the libraries.
Step 2:-Then copy the .lib file to the android libraries folder in the project tree for the app you are designing.
Step 3:- Happy coding!
There doesnt seem to be a libs folder. I imported the Javas and followed the directions but don't know how to configure the gradle modules cause I'm using eclipse not studio.

Thanks for pointing it out. It is extremely important and the parameters regulating when the application should ask for a rating should be set with care.
I decided to try to make it the less annoying possible by showing the message only once (if not explicitly deferred by the user) when both the conditions on the number of launches and on the time from the first launch are met.
Do you have any idea about how I could make the message even less annoying?

I guess a good way would be to be to add a little shiny icon, if the user is curious (s)he will tap on this little icon, and that's the moment to display the pop up kindly asking for the review. This nice little icon taking little space somewhere on the screen would appear after a period of use to leave some time to poke around.
It will have the advantage of playing with end user's curiosity, and not aggressively show a pop-up, since the user will trigger it from it's own action.
Application's developer will be able to use something that fit the current interface or game as icon, not throwing the immersion to trash in a brutal way.
Backup plan in case the user isn't curious would be to still show the pop-up the hard way after some more time.
Some usage example could be adding the icon to the levels list in a game, or adding the icon somewhere in the toolbar for a file manager, text editor. Placing it next to a connect button for a social/messaging application.

Thanks for your comments. I'm going to support custom ways to show the alert to the user. The library will still contain the alert message but developers will be able to show whatever they want (possibly something less invasive) when the conditions are met

The library stores its data in a file and when the dialog is marked as processed it sets a flag which disables further notifications.
Actually a user may see the dialog twice on different devices. We could avoid that with the synchronisation of the data file but I don't know if ot is worth the effort

Ok... we can try creating some sub mechanism for that,
I.E. checking a file in external sdcard (requires pernission).
Or getting data from the internet whether the user has already rated or not.
Hello, using Internet or a file somewhere can be a good idea if the application itself already use on of those permissions, but it's not legit for an app to ask for Internet or file access just for this, security wise, we should only give the strict minimum permissions the application need to work.

The symptom is, each time I switch on my tablet, I receive a notification in lower right corner promoting something like lucky draw, game, etc. If I click on the notification, it automatically starts downloading apk. The apk is always named like yyyymmddxxxxxxxxxxx.apk. I never run those apks, I guess they are not friendly. How can I check which app I installed is doing this?

First check what you have installed recently. Could be one of those apps give spam notifications. I saw something similar on my bro-in-law phone and that was because he installed some kind of "enhancement" program to make his phone run more efficient (it didn't help bytheway).
Also, since you didn't say what OS you're running, 4.0+ has the option to disable notifications when you go to settings>applications>app name. If you find its an app you need, then that might help.
If you thinks its beyond this, then install lookout or norton from the market.
It's not malware, they're called push notification ads. Just download "Ad Blocker" (root required) from the market and it will tell you which app(s) is doing this. You can also choose to delete it from within the app.
Pretty handy.

I don't have it now, I will load it when I get it next time.
However I have the list of apps I installed because I sent it to the author of push detector. How can I send it to you? I just don't want to post it here.
I have another finding, which seems odd to me: I set the home page of chrome to be blank, and I double checked that, but each time I open the browser it always opens a search page with a lot of informations (looks like a portal but I don't like it). How can I know which app replaces my home page with such rubish?
Is it possible the 3G provider does this kind of things? (notification ads and home replacement)?

No, your network provider would have nothing to do with push notification ads or homepage replacement. And as for setting your homepage in Google chrome, are you talking about the desktop version? Because I don't believe you can make that selection on the mobile version, unless I'm missing something?
BTW, you can send that list to me in a PM if you'd like.

No it's not rooted.
We all know that HTC launched the Dot View Case along with the HTC One M8 which impressed a quiet a lot of us. But one of the drawbacks it had was the lack of support for apps other than the system apps.
Also recently Shen posted a tweet showing some progress in the right direction which definitely brought light to our hopes.
So I came across this idea which will help speed this up and could be ready in a few weeks.
My idea is to make use of an app called Dynamic Notifications which is available in the Play Store. For those who don't know, it like the Active Notification found on the Moto X.
So what we can do is replace the icons in the app with the ones similar to the Dot View icons. I have already ripped apart the Dot View App to get my hands on the font used which I have attached below. So using this font we can simple create icons like the one I have attached.
I know it would be inappropriate to modify someone else's work but we could take the permission of the developer and if possible the developer of the app could himself take this project up.
I already tried this but I am kind of novice in app modding and keep getting installation errors.
The icon which I make has white font with transparent background so you might not see the thumbnail but click on it to view it.

did you sign the app? that could explain the installation errors
Hi, Of interest if you install NOLed notifications app from market - which should show flashing squares on screen in stead of LED - designed for phones with no LED, but cool with this case as you should see different colours for each app - only odd side effect - it flashes time and weather when you have notifications - not its own squares - would be good if someone could code something without this side affect.

Hey,
I've been trying to do the same thing. I also got stuck at resigning the app.
I'm trying to replace HTC voice assist with Google now.
The logcats implied that I needes to be signed with HTCs certificates. Does that make sense?
Any suggestions?

Finally I was able to over come the signing problem and could get the app to install. The default size of the images used in the app was 216 X 216 which according to me was very small and the icon displayed is as shown in attachment 1.
After which i increased the size to 400 X 400 but sadly the image is now being chopped off from the sides.
This according to me is because of the image size set in the app which I don't know how to edit.
If it would be very kind if someone could help / guide me with this one.
I have also attached the .apk file if anyone is interested in looking into it

Yes, its the same app.
Initially I thought the process will be as easy as replacing the images but now when I see, I need to edit the code to resize the images for which I will have to use the traditional methods like APK Manager.
But editing the code is beyond the scope of my knowledge and so will be looking forward to others.
I'm comfortable editing the code, I'm just lost as to how I repackage and replace the old apk.
Maybe if you find anything on that you can post it here and we can get to work on it together...

Well you could make these options:
Remote access security functions(factory reset, change locmscreen password ...) from other phone by sms or call.
Trace the phone with GPS(from another phone or website)
Get remote control of the camera, sound and vibration.
To get peoples attention and make pictures of the areay the thief is.

I found this feature by downloading "Any cut" from the play store and then scrolling through the list and finding "identify unsaved numbers" you can then turn it on from there.
Very similar In Nova Launcher... Create a new activities widget... Scroll down to the third phone choice (it has the most choices)... Then select "identify unsaved numbers"... That will create a shortcut.. Open it and flip the switch.
Yeah there are numerous programs out there.
True Caller, Whitepages ID, etc.
I would have liked not to download an extra program when it's built into the dialer.
I started a forum in the Verizon Community.
Hopefully if we get enough people to annoy them, they will bring it back.

The switch does not bring back the program which Verizon stripped out.

can always install it via the app store. it doesn't integrate with the dialer like the samsung version was supposed to, but it will pop on top of the default dialer and give you an alert. just a thought.
This looks really good. I"m currently using CallApp, based on pulling info from social sites, Facebook, Twitter ect. but I want something more.
It is possible to get the builtin whitepages semi working. (the caller id works but searching for local business via the contacts search bar doesn't seem to) However doing so requires a rooted phone. If you go to your system/app folder you should see a folder called SmartCallProvider. Inside is the whitepages apk. make sure it was the right permissions rw-r--r-- then go to your system/csc folder. here you want to add this line to your feature.xml file.
Code:
<CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>whitepages,whitepages,on</CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>
reboot phone and it should be working. I've only recieved one unknown number call since then but whitepages seems to work as it was identified as a scam number.

Spoke with Samsung. Verizon forced them to remove it due to the paid for ID program.
Hopefully enough people bother them that they end up bringing it back.

They did re-enable fm but this wouldn't seem likely.

Very similar In Nova Launcher... Create a new activities widget... Scroll down to the third phone choice (it has the most choices)... Then select "identify unsaved numbers"... That will create a shortcut.. Open it and flip the switch.

you also need to enable the "identify unsaved numbers" setting in your dialer, which should now be available after preforming the modification.
I have the S7 Edge and have come across this really frustrating issue
I have multiple apps that can open torrent files for example. If I open a magnet link it opens gives me the options for Bittorrent and Utorrent Remote.
If I select Bitorrent, then the next time it will automatically open with this app.
How do I get it to give me the option each time?
Settings>applications>default applications and you can change it from there

Thanks but I don't want to go and reset defaults every time i want it to open with a different app.
Extremely annoying
Yea I try and choose wisely the first time around
I agree, its very annoying that they don't give you a checkbox and you have to choose your "permanent" default every time. Its the first phone I've ever had that has done this.
Seems to be more a kind of bug... something overlooked on Samsungs side
I don't think its Samsung, I believe it's a 6.0 issue. Try the app "better open with" in the playstore and make that your default for every app. That's the workaround I've used on every Android device.
I use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.dampro
It can clear your default and bring back the open with dialog. Idk if the lite version can do this.
The app "Better Open With" seems to work well for me.

I just got this phone coming from an LG V10. So far, this automatic defaulting of apps after one time choosing it is highly annoying. I do not want to use Chrome to view all websites, nor do I want XDA to open up all XDA links in the app.
It would be awesome if we were prompted each time we wanted to open something that multiple apps can handle.

Been using Dr. Ketons MM port on my T3 and it doesn't have this debilitating "feature"!
