Misc¶

Referrer Receiver¶

Add the Broadcast Receiver in AndroidManifest.xml

AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver
    android:name=".ReferrerReceiver"
    android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

And in the Receiver's onReceive() method, you can get the referrer value

ReferrerReceiver.kt

class ReferrerReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
    override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
        val referrer: String? = referrer = intent.extras.getString("referrer")
    }
}

Deeplinking¶

You can get the deeplink Uri in your Activity's onCreate() method as well as the corresponding properties:

MainActivity.kt

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    val deeplink = intent.data
    if (deeplink != null) {
        val host = deeplink.host
        val path = deeplink.path
        val query = deeplink.query
        val fragment = deeplink.fragment
    }
}

Deferred deeplink¶

When using Play Store url or Market scheme or Firebase Dynamic Links methods, the regular Play Store Open button will be replaced by a Continue button.
Furthermore, a notification will be displayed with Tap to continue content.
These two actions are essential to the Deferred deeplink method as they provide the initial data to the app.

Url redirections¶

HTML regular href link
```
<a href="${link}">Click here</a>
```
Javascript manual redirect
```
window.location = "${link}";
```

Javascript automatic redirect

window.onload = function() {
  window.location.replace("${link}");
};

Server 3XX redirection (php, nginx, etc.)
```
header("Location: ${link}");
```

Adb Activity Manager¶

To try links with adb, use the Activity Manager (am) command:

$ adb shell 'am start "link://smarquis.fr/action?key=value#data"'
