<receiver android:name="com.myapp.googleInstallReferrerReceiver" android:exported="true">

[Receiver that using com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER no longer works]
In March 2020, Google play will send install data only on Google's new InstallReferrer API.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:1.1'
}
[To receive Google Referrer data, app needs to add a new Google InstallReferrer library.]
Need to Update AdBrix SDK?
AdBrix SDK already integrates both a broadcast receiver and Google InstallReferrer library.
To update these change simply delete the broadcast receiver set on Androidmanifest.xml.
[[인용:위험:보통]]Warning!!!
To receive Google Install Referrer you need to add Google InstallReferrer Library on gradle. If you need more infomation please check AdBrix SDK Integration guide
Guide : [AdBrix Integration (JAVA) : Gradle setup]
Please remove these broadcast receiver

Get Google Install Referrer Data
Sometimes you need to get Google Install Referrer data by yourself.
These are the sample code that gets Google install Referrer data using 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:1.0' Library.
/**
* To get Google install referrer data you have to connect Google play first.
* When onInstallReferrerSetupFinished result is Seccess you can use method that get a Google Referrer
* These sample code base on 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:1.0'
*
