Cordova: how do I get Google Play query parameters after app install?

How do I get the REFERRER parameters from a Google Play install link in a Cordova 3.5 project? I tried this plugin: https://github.com/tvhnet2014/PHONEGAP-android-referrer-plugin, but it did not work. It depends on https://github.com/chrisekelley/AppPreferences/ -- Cordova doesn't seem to be able to compile the project after this plugin is added.

How do I get the REFERRER parameter from Google Play with Cordova?

The premise of the question is sound, but the plugin you want to use will not work for what you want to use it.

FYI, this plugin states:

"Don't forget when using this plugin that if an app is installed directly from Google Play, this plugin will not execute--the intent will never fire."

Do not use the OP's mentioned plugin for direct Google Play installs!

As for the actual question, I have been trying to get this working for hours but nothing that actually works so far... will update as appropriate.

I found the answer. Just use this other plugin for your AppPreferences:

https://github.com/apla/me.apla.cordova.app-preferences

then it works fine!
