Hi,
I am trying to mimic INSTALL_REFERRER intents from Google Play using adb
shell am. I’m having some issues when my application ID in Gradle is
different than my package name in my Manifest.
In my manifest, I define my BroadcastReceiver as:
<receiver
android:name=“.BroadcastReceiver"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
and my package is “com.example.package”.
In my app build.gradle file, I define my application ID:
productFlavors {
flavor {
applicationId ‘com.flavor.applicationID'
versionName ‘1.0.0'
}
}
What I am seeing, is that my BroadcastReceiver is not able to receive an
explicit INSTALL_REFERRER intent unless the component specifying the name
of the BroadcastReceiver includes the package name:
# fail
am broadcast -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER
-n com.flavor.applicationID/.BroadcastReceiver --es "referrer"
"test_referrer=test”
# fail
am broadcast -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER -n
com.flavor.applicationID/com.flavor.applicationID.BroadcastReceiver --es
"referrer" "test_referrer=test”
# fail
am broadcast -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER -n
com.example.package/com.example.package.BroadcastReceiver --es "referrer"
"test_referrer=test”
# success
am broadcast -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER -n
com.flavor.applicationID/com.example.package.BroadcastReceiver --es
"referrer" "test_referrer=test”
I’m wondering why my BroadcastReceiver does not receive the intent unless
the package name is explicitly in the BroadcastReceiver’s name. I’m also
wondering how Google Play sends the INSTALL_REFERRER intent - I believe
intents use the "com.flavor.applicationID/.BroadcastReceiver” component and
I’m missing INSTALL intents. If I explicitly specify the package name as
the name of my BroadcastReceiver (com.example.package.BroadcastReceiver) in
my Manifest, would Android still be able to route intents from Google Play
to my BroadcastReceiver?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Michael Sung
