Android Deep Linking Installs

Google recently implemented a feature into Google Search that allows a user to install your app on the fly if the result can be opened in your app.

Is there any way to detect if this is how your app was opened? Installed and deep linked from a Google Search?

You can query the Intent extra android.intent.extra.REFERRER_NAME in your Activity to check if your app was deep-linked from Google Search.

From the documentation

The value of the extra will have one of the following formats, depending on the type of referrer:

App referrer — "android-app://{package_id}/{scheme}/{host_path}"

Web referrer — "https://{host_path}"
