Here is my code actually i want to implement app rating dialog box in application that should display every 5th time launch in a day

Use below method to check Launch Count.

private void checkLaunchCount()
{
    int sessionUniqueId = mSharedPref.getInt("DATE_UNIQUE", 0);
    int launchCount = mSharedPref.getInt("LAUNCH_COUNT", 0);
    if(sessionUniqueId != 0)
    {
        int todayUniqueId = getUniqueNumberFromDate();
        if(todayUniqueId == sessionUniqueId)
        {
            if(launchCount >= 5)
            {
                //Show Dialog
            }
            else
            {
                updateLaunchCount(launchCount);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            updateUniqueDateId();
            updateLaunchCount(launchCount);
        }

    }
    else
    {
        updateUniqueDateId()
        updateLaunchCount(launchCount);
    }
}

This method used to getUniqueInt for the Date

private int getUniqueNumberFromDate()
{
    Date date = new Date();
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTime(date);
    return calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
}

This method use to save day in SharedPref

private static SharedPreferences mSharedPref;
private void updateUniqueDateId()
{
    if(mSharedPref == null)
        mSharedPref = getActivity().getSharedPreferences(getActivity().getPackageName(), Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = mSharedPref.edit();
    prefsEditor.putInt("DATE_UNIQUE", getUniqueNumberFromDate()).commit();
}

This method use to save count in SharedPref

 private void updateLaunchCount(int launchCount)
{
    launchCount++;
    SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = mSharedPref.edit();
    prefsEditor.putInt("LAUNCH_COUNT", launchCount).commit();
}

You can get a Calendar values and one counter, and store its value to the preferences.

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = rightNow.get(rightNow.YEAR);
int dayOfYear = rightNow.get(rightNow.DAY_OF_YEAR);

int count = mPreferences.getInt("launchCount",0);
int storedYear = mPreferences.getInt("storedYear",0);
int storedDayOfYear = mPreferences.getInt("storedDayOfYear",0);
if (storedYear == year && storedDayOfYear == dayOfYear) {
    if (count == 5) {
       //rate
    }
    count++;
    mPreferences.edit().putInt("launchCount",count).commit();
} else {
    mPreferences.edit().putInt("year",count);
    mPreferences.edit().putInt("dayOfYear",count);
    count = 1;
    mPreferences.edit().putInt("launchCount",count);
    mPreferences.edit().commit();
}

Something like that, have not tried it, but you can get an idea...
