Installation Referrals from Android Market
Article summary
Did you find this summary helpful?
Thank you for your feedback
Android Market supports the use of the referrer parameter in download links. For campaign attribution, it is useful to know the source of the application install. Android Market sends the referrer to your app at installation time, and the library captures the referrer and persists it for use with event collection methods.
The referrer is always sent by the onConversionEvent
method via the WT.fr
parameter.
To make use of installation referrals, you must add the following to your Android Manifest file:
<receiver android:name="com.webtrends.mobile.analytics.WTReferrerReceiver" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Note
If you use more than one broadcast receiver for the INSTALL_REFERRER action, you must ensure that they do not block each other.
