Is there a way to do a Rate button on Nabi tablets?

I recently signed up to distribute apps for the nabi, but my apps all have a Rate button. Does anyone know if it’s possible to do that on Nabi? The docs say the only supported android stores are google, nook, amazon, and samsung, but was hoping someone knew of a way.

I’ve never worked with the Nabi or it’s store.  If they support rating, you could grab the URL and put a simple “if” test in your rate code:

   if builtForNabi then

        system.openURL(URL)

   else

        native.showPopup(…)

   end

or some similar logic (with real data, properly filled out options for native.showPopup, etc.)   We used to use system.openURL() to do rating before we got the popup.

Rob,

3 related-questions please:

A) Given supportedAndroidDevices = { “google” , “amazon” , “nook” }, how does Corona-app decide which store among the 3 to go first?  The answer could shed light on how developers should order the stores in the array.

B) Assuming it uses “google” first, does native.showPopup( … ) return false after having tried all 3 stores, or the first  try only?  Again, the answer may affect store ranking in the array.

C) If first try only, how will app know which store Corona-app had attempted the popup?  Knowing which store failed would allow developer to control which second store to try manually?

Thanks,

Rick

Thanks for the tip Rob. I have to track down app URL’s in the nabi store, no luck so far but i’ll keep digging.
