Pass referrer data through chrome intent to google play

Question

So I have a mobile web that would try to open my android app, if it does not exist, it would fall back to google play.

for chrome, i use this intent:

int         


        

Answer 1

Looks like it can be done by passing S.market_referrer=referrer_string

For example

intent://some_data_sent_to_app#Intent;scheme=app_scheme;package=package_name;S.market_referrer=referrer_string;end

I have not tested this, but there are some check-ins in the chromium repo for this, don't know if it is available in the current version of chrome.
