Detects if the user rates the app in Android
Recently I read an article about a game on the market (I won’t give this name because I think this practice is bad for Android and don’t want to make it public) if you haven’t already received a 5-star rating on the market.
That’s what the article says, I wonder if this can be detected, and if so, how (I just need to know if the user rated the app, no score is needed)
Thank you

Recently I read a article about a game in the market (I won’t give the name because I think it that practices are negative for Android and don’t want to publicize it) that don’t allow to update if you have not rated 5 stars in the market.
As mentioned, this is not possible. The application cannot prevent itself from being updated. Now, it is possible that it detects the update the next time it runs and then takes some action.
I’d like to know if that is detectable and if yes how to do it
There is no documented or supported way to do this. I would be shocked if it was possible outside of rooting the phone – otherwise this is a security vulnerability.
