How to create Rate button?

Question

I almost complete first game for Android (Hybrid app), I am considering create a Rate button for it. I try searching on internet but most comments talk about Java code while I don't know anything. Suppose that I created a button in HTML file ( Rate ). Everyone can give a solution so that it run as a regular Rate button?

Answer 1

Try this:

Open “res/layout/main.xml” file, add a rating bar component, few textviews and a button.

File : res/layout/main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/lblRateMe"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Rate Me"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

    <RatingBar
        android:id="@+id/ratingBar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:numStars="4"
        android:stepSize="1.0"
        android:rating="2.0" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnSubmit"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Submit" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/lblResult"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Result : "
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtRatingValue"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text=""
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

2. Activity Code

Inside activity “onCreate()” method, attach a listener on rating bar, fire when rating value is changed. Another listener on button, fire when button is clicked. Read the code’s comment, it should be self-explanatory.

File : MyAndroidAppActivity.java

package com.xyz.android;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.RatingBar;
import android.widget.RatingBar.OnRatingBarChangeListener;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MyAndroidAppActivity extends Activity {

  private RatingBar ratingBar;
  private TextView txtRatingValue;
  private Button btnSubmit;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    addListenerOnRatingBar();
    addListenerOnButton();

  }

  public void addListenerOnRatingBar() {

    ratingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
    txtRatingValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtRatingValue);

    //if rating value is changed,
    //display the current rating value in the result (textview) automatically
    ratingBar.setOnRatingBarChangeListener(new OnRatingBarChangeListener() {
        public void onRatingChanged(RatingBar ratingBar, float rating,
            boolean fromUser) {

            txtRatingValue.setText(String.valueOf(rating));

        }
    });
  }

  public void addListenerOnButton() {

    ratingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
    btnSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSubmit);

    //if click on me, then display the current rating value.
    btnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            Toast.makeText(MyAndroidAppActivity.this,
                String.valueOf(ratingBar.getRating()),
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }

    });

  }
}
