I remember reading some posts here a while ago about showing a dialog asking something like “Would you like to download more free apps?” and then the user can choose yes/no which will then open an app wall or (obviously) exit the application.
As a user I like this approach better as it gives the user an option and you’re not “forced” to view the app wall.
Bill & Magnesus - Thanks a lot about explaining these finer points. It also made all of us think (atleast the one who are on this thread) that it’s a good idea to have an app wall sort of thing on the application exit.
One query - As you mentioned AppBrain has this functionality implemented by default. Does this mean there is an appwall that shows while exiting the application or we still need to tweak the app code to insert it.
I apologize about this but I’ve never used AppBrain so not sure about this.
Bill & Magnesus - Also if this is implemented in code, will it be possible for you to show few lines of that code here. Thanks a lot again guys.
I use Basic4Android for my apps development, and I am guessing you’re using eclipse. I have not done eclipse coding for it, but i have seen the codes (heck i created the wrapper library for Basic4Android in eclipse!). They are very simple.
Maybe Magnesus can share how he did it on back click in eclipse.
Yeah, I just use what Max posted. maybeShowInterstitial before “finish()”. You have to add AppBrain SDK, change Manifest and add AppBrain.init() in onCreate too.
I recently made such functionality by myself, beside an ad I also have a button to my other apps and also ask users to join facebook group or leave a review. Much better when you arrange that exit-screen by yourself.
