Not getting Google Broadcast referrer data

[Pruthvirajcodewave]

Hi, great npm for receiving install referrals.

If I log and check the log for
RNAndroidBroadcastReceiverForReferrerModule.reactContext I am getting null.

`private void sendEvent(String eventName, WritableMap map) {

    try{
        ReactContext reactContext = RNAndroidBroadcastReceiverForReferrerModule.reactContext;

        reactContext.getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter.class)
                .emit(eventName, map);
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        Log.d("ReactNativeJS","Exception in sendEvent in ReferrerBroadcastReceiver is:"+e.toString());


    }

}`

Since its giving null, the above code is not executing properly and it's coming to catch.

I am able to receive a referral in the following code.
let referrerValue = await RNAndroidBroadcastReceiverForReferrer.getReferrerData();
Is there any way to update google analytics as soon as the app gets installed. If we had used the default google receiver com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingReceiver it would by default update the installs to google analytics.

Hello,
i think u can fork this package and implement custom logic for google analytics like this

// This example uses Google Analytics SDK for Android v3.x implementation
package com.example.gatestapp;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

import com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingReceiver;

/*
 *  A simple Broadcast Receiver to receive an INSTALL_REFERRER
 *  intent and pass it to other receivers, including
 *  the Google Analytics receiver.
 */
public class CustomReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    // Pass the intent to other receivers.

    // When you're done, pass the intent to the Google Analytics receiver.
    new CampaignTrackingReceiver().onReceive(context, intent);
  }
}// This example uses Google Analytics SDK for Android v3.x implementation
package com.example.gatestapp;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

import com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingReceiver;

/*
 *  A simple Broadcast Receiver to receive an INSTALL_REFERRER
 *  intent and pass it to other receivers, including
 *  the Google Analytics receiver.
 */
public class CustomReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    // Pass the intent to other receivers.

    // When you're done, pass the intent to the Google Analytics receiver.
    new CampaignTrackingReceiver().onReceive(context, intent);
  }
}
