Send preinstalled app activity

You can use the Adjust SDK to record activity from apps that came preinstalled on a user’s device. This enables you to send information from users who didn’t download your app from a campaign.

Your config object contains a bool preinstallTrackingEnabled property that controls this feature. To enable preinstall measurement, assign a bool value to the preinstallTrackingEnabled property of your config object.

1
AdjustConfig adjustConfig = new AdjustConfig('{YourAppToken}', AdjustEnvironment.Sandbox);
2
//...
3
adjustConfig.preinstallTrackingEnabled = true;
4
//...
5
Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

Default link token

Configuring a default link token enables you to attribute all preinstalls to a predefined Adjust link. Adjust records all information against this token until the attribution source changes. To set this up:

1. Create a new campaign link in Campaign Lab.

   1
   https://app.adjust.com/{token}

2. Copy this token and assign it to the defaultTracker property of your config object.

   1
   AdjustConfig adjustConfig = new AdjustConfig('{YourAppToken}', AdjustEnvironment.Sandbox);
   2
   //...
   3
   adjustConfig.defaultTracker = '{TrackerToken}';
   4
   //...
   5
   Adjust.start(adjustConfig);

3. Build and run your app. If you have logging enabled, you should see a message in your log

   Default tracker: 'abc123'.
