Hi, I have an interesting problem:
My boss/the-marketing-team want to be able to distribute a separate version of our application to a number of 'partners'. The application itself would be *exactly* the same app, except that they'd like a partner-specific property to be passed to our web-service when the app runs (for tracking). The last thing I want to do is have 'n' builds of the product, each with a single constant changed (or a difference in the Manifest). This would be a maintenance nightmare, as well as the obvious issues you have when you have multiple mostly-identical versions of a product floating around. I also suspect the Android Market would have a problem with "MyProduct for X users", "MyProduct for Y users", etc... showing up for download. In a perfect world everyone would download the same app, and there would be some cool undiscovered Android feature where the Market URL could include "&vendorcode=X" that would be passed into the app on install. My question is this: Since the install process would be initiated by the user clicking on a link in their browser of choice (on the Android device), is there *any* way that the web server could be sent some 'device specific identifier' by the browser that would also be available to my APK? (In this way the web server would be able to match up the original install request and the first run of the app after install).
