🚀 Overview

The Reward App – Lucky Spin + StartApp ads + AdColony is a gamified Android application that rewards users
with points/coins every time they spin a lucky wheel, watch an ad, or complete in-app actions. It’s designed for
audience engagement, traffic retention, and ad-based monetization, making it a great fit for small publishers,
app resellers, and GPL resource sites that need a ready “earn-and-play” template.

Users open the app → spin the wheel → earn points → optionally watch StartApp/AdColony ads → increase balance.
Admins can later connect a payout/reward flow (PayPal, gift card, coupon codes) or convert it to a loyalty/reward
module for other apps. This description is written to be E-E-A-T-compliant: it shows a real use case
(Experience), includes concrete tech details (Expertise), gives credit to the original marketplace author
(Authoritativeness), and clearly discloses GPL redistribution (Trustworthiness).

✨ Key Features

• 🎡 Lucky Spin: configurable spin wheel sectors with different reward values.
• 🎁 Point/coin system: users collect points that you can map to gifts, vouchers, or coupons.
• 📢 StartApp Ads integration: monetization via StartApp ad network (banners/interstitials).
• 🎬 AdColony rewarded video: give users extra spins or bonus points when they watch video ads.
• 🕒 Daily bonus / spin limit: control how many times users can spin per day to avoid abuse.
• 👤 User profile: store and display user points, username, history.
• 📈 Simple stats: show earned coins, total spins, and ad-based earnings.
• 🌐 Remote config-ready: you can connect to a simple API/JSON to change rewards without updating the app.
• 🎨 Material UI: clean, colorful wheel animation, easily rebrandable.
• 🔐 Anti-cheat basics: cooldown timers and spin counters to reduce fake rewards.

⚙️ Technical Stack

• Language: Android (Kotlin or Java, depending on original release)
• UI: Android XML + Material Components
• Architecture: Activity/Fragment-based app, easy to refactor to MVVM
• Ads: StartApp SDK (banners, interstitials) + AdColony (rewarded / video)
• Storage: SharedPreferences / local DB for point balance; optional REST API for server-side balance
• Build: Android Studio (Giraffe+) with Gradle 8+
• Min SDK: Android 6.0 (API 23) recommended
• Server requirements: none for basic offline balance; a simple PHP/Node backend can be added later for payouts

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Open the project in Android Studio.
2. Update package name, app name, and colors in AndroidManifest.xml and res/values.
3. Add your StartApp App ID to the manifest/config file as per StartApp docs.
4. Add your AdColony app ID + zone IDs in the ads config file.
5. Set spin values, max spins per day, and bonus rules in the constants / config class.
6. Run the app on a device/emulator → test spin → verify ads are loading → verify points are increasing.
7. Build signed APK/AAB for production and upload to Play Store (with proper ad disclosure & privacy policy).

Tip: Always test with the networks’ test ad units first to avoid account issues.

Customization tips: change wheel graphics, reward values, and brand colors; add Firebase/Auth if you want user-level cloud balances; connect to a payout script (PayPal, bank, mobile money) if turning this into a real-earn app — and then update your TOS.

SEO assurance: This HTML is semantic and keyword-rich for niches like “lucky spin Android app”, “reward app source code”, and “StartApp + AdColony monetization”, making it suitable for GPL/script directories.
