This code prompts engaged users to rate your app in the Android market (inspired by iOS Appirater [2]).

It requires a certain number of launches of the app and days since the installation before the rating dialog appears.

Adjust APP_TITLE and APP_PNAME to your needs.

You should also tweak DAYS_UNTIL_PROMPT and LAUNCHES_UNTIL_PROMPT.

To test it and to tweak the dialog appearence, you can call AppRater.showRateDialog(this, null) from your Activity.

Normal use is to invoke AppRater.app_launched(this) each time your activity is invoked (eg. from within the onCreate method). If all conditions are met, the dialog appears.
