what is Rating class? is it useful to get rating in playstore from the app itself?

Question

I have learnt about Rating class in android developers official docs. Here is the link:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/Rating.html

i am confusd that if this class is useful for rating an app in playstore within app? or internal widget like Rating bar? please help me thanks.

Answer 1

Both are not. Rating class is just a wrapper class which can be used to keep rating information, it implements Parcelable, hence, you can pass its instances between Android components (i.e Activity, Service...).
