Link to Review on NOOK - are intents required? Workarounds?

I am trying to set this up and have the same lag issue that was described in earlier posts. It takes about 20-40 seconds before a popup occurs with the store info. After about 4 seconds, I can tap the screen and the popup will appear then. Am I doing something wrong or is this really a Nook issue?

Thanks,

Scott,

We’re still trying to isolate this issue with the help of B&N tech-support team. I’ve just sent them a follow up e-mail to them today. So far, we haven’t been able to reproduce this issue ourselves, which makes me wonder if it is a specific device set up issue. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 129931[/import]

Joshua, would you verify this? Your Amazon syntax above has a period at the end of the package name, is that correct?

androidAppPackageName = “my.other.app.”, [import]uid: 40033 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 131213[/import]

Hi Joshua,

The delayed pop up box for the NOOK review has something to do with the build version.

I have two apps in the NOOK store i can compare.

the first app was built using sdk version .927
This version has no delay.

the second app was built using sdk version .935
This version has the lag for about 30-40 seconds.

Pixin,

Right, that period at the end of the package name is just a copy & paste mistake. I’ll correct it. Besides, you are supposed to put “your” app’s package name there. What I posted was just an example which won’t link to anything in the app store. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 131327[/import]

rbm1155,

The Corona version is not the cause of the delay. I say this because the newest Corona daily build has no delay at all when I test it. I had B&N’s tech-support team test it too and they can’t reproduce this delay issue either. This issue is caused by something else. We just haven’t isolated as to what it is yet. I’m not convinced that Corona is the cause of this delay. Based on the results given to me, the delay occurs after the Corona app has been suspended, which means something on the Nook’s end is taking too long.

Hi Joshua,

Now this is confusing.

My app got rejected in NOOK

https://nookdeveloper.zendesk.com/entries/20107613-shop-api

Nook is saying that I’m not using their API to access the store intents.

but I’m using the exact same code that with my other apps.

[import]uid: 157599 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 131800[/import]

I’ve found B&N’s quality control to be hit and miss. One of our apps was rejected, the other accepted, even though they both use the same code base.

That said, is it possible you have a link somewhere to a B&N web page that doesn’t use their Store API? [import]uid: 9905 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 131803[/import]

Yes, I think it’s the “show other games” link.

I wonder if Corona have an equivalent API
for this as stated in

https://nookdeveloper.zendesk.com/entries/20107613-shop-api

* where it shows that through Java, this is possible. [import]uid: 157599 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 131804[/import]

I’d love that feature to show all the apps for a developer. For now, we don’t have enough apps to make this critical, but we will soon. Josh? [import]uid: 9905 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 131806[/import]

I’m wondering if NOOK only has one intent for both “show other apps” and “rate app”

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(“com.bn.sdk.shop.details”);
i.putExtra(“product_details_ean”,“2940043352927”); // Your real EAN goes here
startActivity(i);
[import]uid: 157599 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 131808[/import]

Everyone,

We already support this. Corona’s “rateApp” and “appStore” popups execute that shop details intent that B&N documents.

There is no way to show a list of your apps in the B&N store. The Nook does not provide an intent/API that allows you to do that. You’ll have to show a list of your apps within your app instead, and when the user taps on them, show the shop details via Corona’s “appStore” popup.
