Android Jetpack Compose – Implement Easy Rating Dialog
Many times in android applications we can get to see that they ask for users to rate their application and share their reviews about the application. In this article, we will take a look at How to implement an Easy Rating dialog in android applications using Jetpack Compose. Using the Easy Rating Dialog box we will display a prompt to the user to rate the application. A sample video is given below to get an idea about what we are going to do in this article.
Step by Step Implementation
Step 1: Create a New Project in Android Studio
To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a New Project in Android Studio. While choosing the template, select Empty Compose Activity. If you do not find this template, try upgrading the Android Studio to the latest version. We demonstrated the application in Kotlin, so make sure you select Kotlin as the primary language while creating a New Project.
Step 2: Adding dependency in build.gradle
Navigate to app>build.gradle file and add the below dependency to it in the dependencies section.
implementation 'com.github.fernandodev.easyratingdialog:easyratingdialog:1.1.2'
After adding the dependency simply sync your project to install it.
Step 3: Working with the MainActivity.kt file
Go to the MainActivity.kt file and refer to the following code. Below is the code for the MainActivity.kt file. Comments are added inside the code to understand the code in more detail.
Kotlin
package com.example.newcanaryproject import android.app.Activity import android.content.Context import android.os.Bundle import android.webkit.WebSettings.TextSize import androidx.activity.ComponentActivity import androidx.activity.compose.setContent import androidx.compose.foundation.background import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.* import androidx.compose.material.* import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color import androidx.compose.ui.platform.LocalContext import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontWeight import androidx.compose.ui.text.style.TextAlign import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat import com.example.newcanaryproject.ui.theme.NewCanaryProjectTheme import com.example.newcanaryproject.ui.theme.greenColor import com.github.fernandodev.easyratingdialog.library.EasyRatingDialog class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super .onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContent { NewCanaryProjectTheme { // on below line we are specifying // background color for our application Surface( // on below line we are specifying // modifier and color for our app modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), color = MaterialTheme.colors.background ) { // on the below line we are specifying // the theme as the scaffold. Scaffold( // in scaffold we are // specifying the top bar. topBar = { // inside top bar we are specifying // background color. TopAppBar(backgroundColor = greenColor, // along with that we are specifying // title for our top bar. title = { // in the top bar we are // specifying tile as a text Text( // on below line we are specifying // text to display in top app bar. text = "GFG" , // on below line we are specifying // modifier to fill max width. modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(), // on below line we are specifying // text alignment. textAlign = TextAlign.Center, // on below line we are specifying // color for our text. color = Color.White ) }) }) { // on below line we are calling // method to display UI ratingDialog(LocalContext.current) } } } } } } @Composable fun ratingDialog(context: Context) { // on below line creating variable for rating dialog. var easyRatingDialog = EasyRatingDialog(context); Column( modifier = Modifier .fillMaxHeight() .fillMaxWidth() .background(Color.White) ) { // on below line we are adding a spacer. Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height( 120 .dp)) // on below line we are adding a text Text( // on below line specifying text for heading. text = "Rate Us Dialog in Android" , // adding text alignment, textAlign = TextAlign.Center, // on below line adding text color. color = greenColor, // on below line adding font weight. fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold, // on below line adding padding from all sides. modifier = Modifier .padding( 10 .dp) .fillMaxWidth() ) // on below line adding a spacer. Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height( 50 .dp)) // on below line adding a button to // display an alerter dialog. Button( onClick = { // on below line creating an alerter. easyRatingDialog.showAnyway() }, // on below line adding modifier for button. modifier = Modifier .fillMaxWidth() .padding( 20 .dp) ) { // on below line displaying text for our button. Text(text = "Display Rate Me Dialog" , color = Color.White) } } } |
Now run your application to see the output of it.
