Here is my code actually i want to implement app rating dialog box in application that should display once in three day

Answer 1

here is my code as a function for 10 days. I made the initial value current time - 11 days to make sure it will run first time app launches

  public void dialogEvery10Days() {
  Long duration = getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).getLong("duration", System.currentTimeMillis()-TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(11));
      if (System.currentTimeMillis()-duration > TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(10)) {
            // inflateDialog is a function containing the functionality of popping up the dialog
            Dialog dialog = inflateDialog(R.layout.dialog_layout);

            getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE)
                    .edit()
                    .putLong("duration", System.currentTimeMillis())
                    .apply();
        }
    }

Answer 2

You have to initialize your SharedPreferences and Editor Object like this:

   SharedPreferences prefs = mContext.getSharedPreferences("RATER", 0);
   SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();

UPDATE

Just save a boolean when user cliks on no thanks and check it before showing the dialog. If it true then it will not show the dialog box.

//Saving a boolean on no thanks button click

SharedPreferences prefs = mContext.getSharedPreferences("RATER", 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putBoolean("NO THANKS", true));
editor.apply();

Access it in your dialog showing method.

    SharedPreferences prefs = mContext.getSharedPreferences("RATER", 0);
    if (prefs.getBoolean("NO THANKS", false)) {
        return;
    }else {
   SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    //YOUR CODE TO SHOW DIALOG
    editor.apply();
}

    if (sharedPrefs.getBoolean("NO THANKS", false)) {
        return;
    } else {
        SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = sharedPrefs.edit();
        //YOUR CODE TO SHOW DIALOG
        long time = sharedPrefs.getLong("displayedTime", 0);
        if (time < System.currentTimeMillis() - 259200000) {
