InAppReview
Author: Author: Google - B4a Wrapper: Pendrush
Version: 2.01
- InAppReview
- Events:
- OnComplete
- OnError (Error As String)
- Functions:
- Initialize (EventName As String, UseFakeReviewManager As Boolean)
Initialize InAppReview
UseFakeReviewManager = True - This should only be used for unit or integration tests to verify the behaviour of the app once the review is completed.
Note: FakeReviewManager does not simulate the UI (no pop-up will be shown). It only fakes the API method result by always providing a fake ReviewInfo object and returning a success status when the in-app review flow is launched.
UseFakeReviewManager = False - Use it for production app.
InAppReview.Initialize("InAppReview", False)- LaunchReview
Launch review process. Pop-up window will show only for app downloaded from Play Store (Production app).
OnComplete event will fire immediately if you initialize with UseFakeReviewManager = True
