onActivityResult doesn't return success

Question

I'm asking the user to rate my app and navigating them to google playstore.

fun openPlayStore() {
        val appPackageName = packageName
        try {
            startActivityForResult(
                Intent(
                    Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                    Uri.parse("market://details?id=$appPackageName")
                ), OPEN_PLAY_STORE
            )
        } catch (anfe: ActivityNotFoundException) {
            startActivityForResult(
                Intent(
                    Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                    Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$appPackageName")
                ), OPEN_PLAY_STORE
            )
        }
    }

Then, to check user successfully went to playstore or not

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == OPEN_PLAY_STORE) {
            println(" resultCode = > $resultCode")
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "ok", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this, "cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        }
}

Here, I'm getting toast when user presses cancel. But I'm not getting Toast when user successfully navigated to playstore.

It's not possible but you can do some workaround.

// Logic to ask rating when user opened the app 5th time
        val sp = this.getSharedPreferences("UserLoginCount", Context.MODE_PRIVATE)

        userLoginCount = sp.getInt("count", 1)
        userLoginCountPrevious = sp.getInt("count", 0)
        var showRatingDialogCount = sp.getInt("nextCount", 5)

        if (userLoginCount == showRatingDialogCount) {
            openAskForRating()
        } else {
            sp.edit().putInt("count", ++userLoginCount).commit()
            Toast.makeText(this,"$userLoginCount time user logged in",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }

• have two variable userLoginCount and userLoginCountPrevious
• read from shared pref's userLoginCount then save it's val to userLoginCountPrevious
• when user login 5th time here as in this example, Rating dialog is showed. else increment the value of userLoginCount.
• now you can see that userLoginCount is incremented but not userLoginCountPrevious.

Then, in on onActivityResult

if (userLoginCount == userLoginCountPrevious) { 
     // means he successfully navigated to playstore and came back 
     dialog.dismiss()
}else{
     // means he closed the rating dialog without visiting playstore
}

Hope, it helps !
