API Calls

It has two static api methods:

1. PingAdwordsUtil.recordRefererOnDeepLinkCall(...)
   It records referer (like gclid and other data).
   Saves the same in SharedPreferences, which is later used in onResumePingIfAppUpdate(..) call.
   
   

2. PingAdwordsUtil.onResumePingIfAppUpdate(...)
   This method checks if app update has happened.
   If so, pings adwords to report conversion.
   It should be called at onResume(..) of app's main activity.

Also a utility android Activity 'DeepLinkTrackerActivity' is created.
Upon app update ad-click, if a deeplink is fired then DeepLinkTrackerActivity can be called.
It will store referer and forward call to playstore.
Later when PingAdwordsUtil.onResumePingIfAppUpdate(..) will be invoked, the referer will be used for adwords attribution.
