Answer 1

You can also use third party tracking like Mobile App Tracking from Tunes. This will help Android A app to get postbacks whenever Android B is installed. Third party tools like MAT,Appsflyer is one of the most common tools used to track installs.

Answer 2

the source code above is not correct.

the line

referrer = URLDecoder.decode(referrer, "x-www-form-urlencoded");

should be

referrer = URLDecoder.decode(referrer, "UTF-8");

the android documentation is not clear about this, but if you use x-www-form-urlencoded it will throw an unsupported encoding exception....
