Titanium Alloy Widget to prompt users to rate an app

Overview

This is a widget for the Appcelerator Alloy MVC framework to prompt a user if they want to rate an app.

Features

• Free to use and open source
• Drop the widget into your view XML file
• Works on Android, iOS
• Once they've rated the app it will no longer ask them to rate again unless you clear it out.

Usage

• Add the widget to a view

<Widget id="rating" src="com.netsmartcompany.rating"/>

Initialize it in your controller

var appId = "APPID",   //App ID for itunes or package_name for GooglePlay
    appName = "CoolApp", //Name of you APP for the Title
    appMsg = "If you enjoy using CoolApp, would you mind taking a moment to rate it?  Thanks!",//Message you want to display to the user to get them to rate it.
    runEvery = 3, //How many times can they run the app before being prompted to rate it.
    appDebug = false; //If set to true it will run it every time.

$.rating.init(appId, appName, appMsg, runEvery, appDebug);

Run it in your controller

$.rating.run();

Note: For android it's best to do this on the opening of the root window.

$.win.addEventListener('open', function(e) {
    $.rating.run();
});

Clear it out so it prompts them again

$.rating.clear();
