InstallReferrerReceiver

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• InstallReferrerReceiver processes install referrer data from the Google Play Store and sends it to Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

• To enable this functionality, you need to add the provided service and receiver entries to your AndroidManifest.xml file.

• This receiver automatically triggers the Google Analytics receiver for campaign data, eliminating the need for separate configuration when using both Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager SDKs.

public final class InstallReferrerReceiver

The Google Play com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER Intent is broadcast when an app is installed from the Google Play Store. This BroadcastReceiver listens for that Intent, passing the install referrer data to GTM for Mobile Apps and Google Analytics.

To enable this receiver, add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

 <!-- Used for install referrer tracking-->
 <service android:name="com.google.tagmanager.InstallReferrerService"/>
 <receiver
     android:name="com.google.tagmanager.InstallReferrerReceiver"
     android:exported="true">
     <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
     </intent-filter>
 </receiver>
 
 

This receiver will automatically invoke the Google Analytics receiver to set the Campaign data. If both the Google Analytics SDK and Google Tag Manager SDKs are in use, only this receiver needs to be enabled.
