I've an Android app where user has to register. On sending registration, I want to send the parameters from the PlayStore (utm_source, etc.) to know from which campaign user comes from.
So the idea was to use a own BroadcastReceiver for INSTALL_REFERRER, where I save
parameters to a file. When user registers i will read the file and send the content.
So I made receiver:
public class CampaignBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String refferer = intent.getExtras().getString("referrer");
try {
FileOutputStream fos = context.openFileOutput("campaign", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
fos.write(refferer.getBytes());
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}
new CampaignTrackingReceiver().onReceive(context, intent);
}
And, in AndroidManifest.xml I use :
<service android:name="com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingService"/>
<receiver android:name=".receiver.CampaignBroadcastReceiver" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
When i use the test scenario from google it works and the onReceive Method in my BroadcastReceiver is called.
./adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER -n
mypackage/mypackage.receiver.CampaignBroadcastReceiver --es "referrer"
"utm_source%3Dtest%26utm_medium%3Dbanner%26utm_term%3Dmailstuff"
But, when I try it from PlayStore then nothing is called.
Has anybody idea how to grap the campaign parameters from the PlayStore in app?
