How to measure app downloads programmatically

I have an Android application, that is packaged as a FAT binary( both ARM and x86 versions in one apk). I need to measure how many x86 devices installs happened vs ARM device install. Since this is a FAT binary, there is only one version code, so play store only tells me the overall install. Is there a way to track it programatically or otherwise?

First off, there might exist devices which support both ARM and x86.

You can use the active installs data from the Developer Console. It contains the number of active installs per device model. Using the device model you can determine the supported instruction sets. There might already exist databases for this mapping.

Additionally, you can retrieve the supported instruction sets programmatically using Build.SUPPORTED_ABIS (or the now deprecated Build.CPU_ABI and Build.CPU_ABI2).
