Implementation
Files
This section will provide the files used within interactions as well as the styles that are shared between multiple interactions.
Header images
Used in: Love Dialog, Note, Survey, and Apptentive Rating Dialog.
We named these cookbook_3_love_dialog_header
, cookbook_3_note_header
, cookbook_3_survey_header
, and cookbook_3_rating_dialog_header
. You’ll see them referenced within the code blocks for the Love Dialog, Note, Survey, and Rating Dialog.




Love Dialog buttons
Used in: Love Dialog
Pictures are worth a thousand words. Using images on buttons for Love Dialogs is a great way to add a touch more of personality to your feedback.
We can use a PNG, but vectors (SVG) are more versatile, customizable, and scalable, so they’re recommended.
We named these cookbook_3_love_dialog_yes.xml
and cookbook_3_love_dialog_no.xml
. You’ll see them referenced within the code blocks for the Love Dialog Yes and No (alternate) buttons.

Shared Styles
Important styles
The most important thing to do is to define the main style colors and font. You can define these within your app’s theme for app-wide usage of them, or within ApptentiveThemeOverride
for just Apptentive interactions usage.
<style name="ApptentiveThemeOverride">
<!-- All Interactions -->
<item name="apptentiveFontFamilyDefault">@font/comfortaa</item>
<item name="colorSecondary">#AB112C</item>
<item name="apptentiveHeaderAlpha">1</item>

The Apptentive dialog layout style has a lot of padding that doesn’t work well with a header image, so we’ll have to override it with our own style.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage" parent="">
<item name="android:adjustViewBounds">true</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">4dp</item>
</style>
Dialog header images
Used in: Love Dialog, Note, and Apptentive Rating Dialog
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage" parent="">
<item name="android:adjustViewBounds">true</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">4dp</item>
</style>
Dialog title or message only text style
Used in: Love Dialog and Note
The text for both Love Dialog and Notes with a Title or Message Only (Note version not displayed) should look generally similar, so let’s share a style for both of those.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleOrMessageOnly" parent="Apptentive.TextAppearance.Title.Dialog.TitleOrMessageOnly">
<item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
<item name="android:paddingEnd">30dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">16dp</item>
<item name="android:lineSpacingExtra">6sp</item>
<item name="android:letterSpacing">.02</item>
</style>
Dialog title and message (together)
Used in: Note, Survey (close dialog), and Apptentive Rating Dialog
We can avoid a lot of boilerplate by having the Apptentive Title.Dialog.WithMessage
and the Apptentive Message
style as the parents.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage" parent="Apptentive.TextAppearance.Title.Dialog.WithMessage">
<item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">12dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingEnd">24dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">16dp</item>
<item name="android:lineSpacingExtra">5sp</item>
<item name="android:letterSpacing">.02</item>
</style>
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Centered">
<item name="android:paddingStart">24dp</item>
<item name="android:textAlignment">center</item>
</style>
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.Message" parent="Apptentive.TextAppearance.Message.Dialog">
<item name="android:paddingBottom">24dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingStart">24dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingEnd">24dp</item>
<item name="android:lineSpacingExtra">6sp</item>
<item name="android:letterSpacing">.04</item>
</style>
Dialog button layout and borderless buttons
Used in: Love Dialog, Note, Survey (close dialog), and Rating Dialog
Borderless buttons have a different design, so we’ll have a text button style for them.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout.Stacked" parent="">
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
<item name="android:orientation">vertical</item>
</style>
<style name="Cookbook3.Button.Borderless" parent="Apptentive.Widget.Dialog.Button">
<item name="android:textColor">?colorOnSurface</item>
<item name="android:minWidth">200dp</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
<item name="cornerRadius">0dp</item>
</style>
1. The Love Dialog

The layout
Uses apptentiveLoveDialogLayoutStyle
.
We can use the Cookbook3.Dialog.Layout
style that we created earlier.
The header image
Uses apptentiveLoveDialogHeaderImageStyle
.
There is a placeholder within the Apptentive designs for each interaction to include a header image.
We’ll create a style for the one in Love Dialog while leveraging the shared style we have
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage.LoveDialog">
<item name="android:src">@drawable/cookbook_3_love_dialog_header</item>
</style>
The title
Uses apptentiveLoveDialogTitleStyle
.
We can leverage the Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleOrMessageOnly
style that we created earlier.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleOrMessageOnly.LoveDialog">
<item name="android:paddingStart">30dp</item>
<item name="android:textAlignment">center</item>
</style>
The button layout
Uses apptentiveLoveDialogButtonLayoutStyle
and apptentiveLoveDialogButtonLayoutStyleAlternate
Here we are utilizing the alternate layout for the Love Dialog buttons. This allows a Yes -> No ordering of the buttons instead of the default No -> Yes button ordering.
We can use the Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout
style we created earlier for the alternate button layout.
The alternate layout will just be set with no style attached in order to override the default one in our SDK that makes the visibility for it gone
.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout.LoveDialog" parent="">
<item name="android:visibility">gone</item>
</style>
The buttons
Uses apptentiveLoveDialogYesButtonStyleAlternate
and apptentiveLoveDialogNoButtonStyleAlternate
.
Using some specific style items, we can modify the MaterialButton
widgets we have to instead look like an image button.
<style name="Cookbook3.Button.LoveDialog" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
<item name="android:textSize">0sp</item>
<item name="android:layout_weight">1</item>
<item name="android:ambientShadowAlpha">0</item>
<item name="android:background">?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless</item>
<item name="iconSize">64dp</item>
<item name="iconGravity">textTop</item>
<item name="iconPadding">0dp</item>
<item name="iconTint">@null</item>
<item name="rippleColor">@null</item>
</style>
<style name="Cookbook3.Button.LoveDialog.Yes">
<item name="android:layout_marginStart">48dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginEnd">24dp</item>
<item name="icon">@drawable/cookbook_3_love_dialog_yes</item>
</style>
<style name="Cookbook3.Button.LoveDialog.No">
<item name="android:layout_marginStart">24dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginEnd">48dp</item>
<item name="icon">@drawable/cookbook_3_love_dialog_no</item>
</style>
The styles
<item name="apptentiveFontFamilyDefault">@font/comfortaa</item>
<item name="colorSecondary">#AB112C</item>
<item name="apptentiveHeaderAlpha">1</item>
<item name="apptentiveSubheaderAlpha">.8</item>
<item name="colorOnSurface">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="apptentiveLoveDialogLayoutStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.Layout</item>
<item name="apptentiveLoveDialogHeaderImageStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage.LoveDialog</item>
<item name="apptentiveLoveDialogTitleStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleOrMessageOnly.LoveDialog</item>
<item name="apptentiveLoveDialogButtonLayoutStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout.LoveDialog</item>
<item name="apptentiveLoveDialogButtonLayoutStyleAlternate"/>
<item name="apptentiveLoveDialogYesButtonStyleAlternate">@style/Cookbook3.Button.LoveDialog.Yes</item>
<item name="apptentiveLoveDialogNoButtonStyleAlternate">@style/Cookbook3.Button.LoveDialog.No</item>
2. The Note

The layout
Uses apptentiveNoteLayoutStyle
.
We can use the Cookbook2.Dialog.Layout
that we created earlier.
The header image
Uses apptentiveNoteHeaderImageStyle
.
There is a placeholder within the Apptentive designs for each interaction to include a header image.
We’ll create a style for the one in Notes while leveraging the shared style.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage.Note">
<item name="android:src">@drawable/cookbook_3_note_header</item>
</style>
The title icon
Uses apptentiveNoteTitleWithMessageImageStyle
and apptentiveNoteTitleOrMessageOnlyImageStyle
.
Just like we have for the header, we also have a hidden ImageView
before title text in dialogs.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleImage.Note" parent="">
<item name="android:src">@drawable/cookbook_3_note_title_icon</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginStart">16dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginTop">12dp</item>
</style>
The titles and message
Uses apptentiveNoteTitleWithMessageTextStyle
, apptentiveNoteTitleOrMessageOnlyTextStyle
, and apptentiveNoteMessageTextStyle
.
We can use the Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleOrMessageOnly
and the Cookbook2.Dialog.Message
styles that we created earlier. We’ll leverage most of Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Note
and just add some padding.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Note">
<item name="android:paddingStart">8dp</item>
</style>
The buttons and button layout
Uses apptentiveNoteButtonLayoutStyle
, apptentiveNoteButtonStyle
, and apptentiveNoteDismissButtonStyle
.
We can use the Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout.Stacked
that we created earlier for the button layout.
We can use the Cookbook3.Button
and Cookbook3.Dialog.Borderless
styles that we created earlier.
The styles
<item name="apptentiveFontFamilyDefault">@font/comfortaa</item>
<item name="colorSecondary">#AB112C</item>
<item name="apptentiveHeaderAlpha">1</item>
<item name="apptentiveSubheaderAlpha">.8</item>
<item name="apptentiveTextSizeDefault">15sp</item>
<item name="colorOnSurface">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteLayoutStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.Layout</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteHeaderImageStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage.Note</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteTitleWithMessageImageStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleImage.Note</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteTitleWithMessageTextStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Note</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteTitleOrMessageOnlyImageStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleImage.Note</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteTitleOrMessageOnlyTextStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleOrMessageOnly</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteMessageTextStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.Message</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteButtonLayoutStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout.Stacked</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteButtonStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button</item>
<item name="apptentiveNoteDismissButtonStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button.Borderless</item>
3. The Survey

The header image toolbar
Uses apptentiveSurveyTitleStyle
and apptentiveSurveyHeaderImageStyle
.
To include a header image as the toolbar, we’ll want to hide the title text that is present, then we can add the image as a background to the toolbar.
<style name="Cookbook3.Survey.Toolbar" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Toolbar.Primary">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/cookbook_3_survey_header</item>
<item name="layout_constraintHeight_max">172dp</item>
<item name="navigationIcon">@drawable/ic_baseline_close_24</item>
<item name="navigationContentDescription">Close</item>
<item name="navigationIconTint">@android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="Cookbook3.Survey.Title" parent="Apptentive.TextAppearance.Title.Survey">
<item name="android:visibility">gone</item>
</style>
The toolbar and bottom app bar
Uses apptentiveSurveyBottomAppBarStyle
.
The bottom app bar is slightly bigger than our Apptentive design and uses our custom background.
<style name="Cookbook3.Survey.BottomAppBar" parent="">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/cookbook_3_survey_dialog_background_bottom_app_bar</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">44dp</item>
</style>
The introduction
Uses apptentiveSurveyIntroductionStyle
.
Both the title and introduction can leverage Apptentive.TextAppearance
style to reduce the boilerplate code.
<style name="Cookbook2.Survey.Introduction" parent="Apptentive.TextAppearance.Introduction.Survey">
<item name="android:textSize">19sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
The submit button
Uses apptentiveSurveySubmitButtonStyle
.
We can use the Cookbook3.Button
style we created earlier.
The close dialog
Uses apptentiveRatingDialogLayoutStyle
, apptentiveGenericDialogTitleTextStyle
, apptentiveGenericDialogMessageTextStyle
, apptentiveGenericDialogButtonLayoutStyle
, apptentiveGenericDialogPositiveButtonStyle
, and apptentiveGenericDialogNegativeButtonStyle
This dialog appears when you have answered a question or hit the submit button with errors then try to exit the survey.
This is seen less often, but it’s good to have it tie in with the rest of your designs. Luckily, we can use the Cookbook3.Dialog.Layout
, Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Centered
, Cookbook3.Dialog.Message
, Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout.Stacked
,Cookbook3.Button.Borderless
, and Cookbook3.Button
styles we created earlier.
The styles
<item name="apptentiveFontFamilyDefault">@font/comfortaa</item>
<item name="colorSecondary">#AB112C</item>
<item name="apptentiveHeaderAlpha">1</item>
<item name="apptentiveSubheaderAlpha">.8</item>
<item name="apptentiveTextSizeDefault">15sp</item>
<item name="colorOnPrimary">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="colorOnBackground">#414D59</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar" tools:ignore="NewApi">true</item>
<item name="apptentiveSurveyToolbarStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Survey.Toolbar</item>
<item name="apptentiveSurveyTitleStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Survey.Title</item>
<item name="apptentiveSurveyBottomAppBarStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Survey.BottomAppBar</item>
<item name="apptentiveSurveyIntroductionStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Survey.Introduction</item>
<item name="apptentiveSurveySubmitButtonStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button</item>
<item name="apptentiveGenericDialogLayoutStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.Layout</item>
<item name="apptentiveGenericDialogTitleTextStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Centered</item>
<item name="apptentiveGenericDialogMessageTextStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.Message</item>
<item name="apptentiveGenericDialogButtonLayoutStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.ButtonLayout.Stacked</item>
<item name="apptentiveGenericDialogPositiveButtonStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button.Borderless</item>
<item name="apptentiveGenericDialogNegativeButtonStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button</item>
4. The Apptentive Rating Dialog
The Apptentive Rating Dialog is an interaction by Apptentive that is primarily used as a solution for alternate app stores but also can serve as an optional alternative to the Google In-App Review prompt.
This is enabled by providing a store URL into customAppStoreURL
within ApptentiveConfiguration
.

The dialog layout
Uses apptentiveRatingDialogLayoutStyle
.
We can use the Cookbook3.Dialog.Layout
style we created earlier.
The header image
Uses apptentiveRatingDialogHeaderImageStyle
.
There is a placeholder within the Apptentive designs for each interaction to include a header image.
We’ll create a style for the one in the Apptentive Rating Dialog while leveraging the shared style.
<style name="Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage.RatingDialog" parent="">
<item name="android:src">@drawable/cookbook_3_rating_dialog_header</item>
</style>
The title and message
Uses apptentiveRatingDialogTitleTextStyle
and apptentiveRatingDialogMessageTextStyle
.
We can use the Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Centered
and Cookbook2.Dialog.Message
styles we created earlier.
The buttons
Uses apptentiveRatingDialogButtonRateStyle
, apptentiveRatingDialogButtonRemindStyle
, and apptentiveRatingDialogButtonDeclineStyle
.
We can utilize most code from the Cookbook3.Button
and Cookbook3.Button.Borderless
styles. We just need them centered
<style name="Cookbook3.Button.RatingDialog">
<item name="android:layout_gravity">center</item>
</style>
<style name="Cookbook3.Button.Borderless.RatingDialog">
<item name="android:layout_gravity">center</item>
</style>
The styles
<item name="apptentiveFontFamilyDefault">@font/comfortaa</item>
<item name="colorSecondary">#AB112C</item>
<item name="apptentiveHeaderAlpha">1</item>
<item name="apptentiveSubheaderAlpha">.8</item>
<item name="apptentiveTextSizeDefault">15sp</item>
<item name="colorOnSurface">#FFFFFF</item>

<item name="apptentiveRatingDialogHeaderImageStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.HeaderImage.RatingDialog</item>
<item name="apptentiveRatingDialogTitleTextStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.TitleWithMessage.Centered</item>
<item name="apptentiveRatingDialogMessageTextStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Dialog.Message</item>
<item name="apptentiveRatingDialogButtonRateStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button.RatingDialog</item>
<item name="apptentiveRatingDialogButtonRemindStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button.RatingDialog</item>
<item name="apptentiveRatingDialogButtonDeclineStyle">@style/Cookbook3.Button.Borderless.RatingDialog</item>
5. Message Center
Toolbar

<item name="apptentiveMessageCenterToolbarStyle">@style/Cookbook3.MessageCenter.Toolbar</item>
<style name="Cookbook3.MessageCenter.Toolbar" parent="Apptentive.Widget.MessageCenter.Toolbar">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/cookbook_3_message_center_toolbar_top</item>
</style>
Here is the drawable that the above refers too:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:startColor="#9C1129"
android:centerColor="#9C1129"
android:endColor="#DF526B" />
</shape>
Message bubble colors

<item name="apptentiveMessageCenterBubbleColorInbound">#B0243C</item>
<item name="apptentiveMessageCenterBubbleColorOutbound">#F3F3F3</item>
Compose Section

<item name="apptentiveMessageCenterColorComposerOutline">#056E0F</item>

<item name="android:textColorHint">#414D59</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#081728</item>
</style>
6. Setting all the styles
The last thing is defining what styles will apply to what interaction. The best place to do this is within the ApptentiveThemeOverride
style within your styles.xml
file.
All the styles
