Google Analytics blocks Android App

i had similar i removed the below code and application runs..

<meta-data         android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.globalConfigResource"        android:resource="@xml/analytics_global_config" />

and add following code for getTracker class... build the GoogleAnalytics using java code rather than XML approch

synchronized Tracker getTracker(TrackerName trackerId) {        Log.d(TAG, "getTracker()");        if (!mTrackers.containsKey(trackerId)) {            GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);            // Global GA Settings            // <!-- Google Analytics SDK V4 BUG20141213 Using a GA global xml freezes the app! Do config by coding. -->            analytics.setDryRun(false);            analytics.getLogger().setLogLevel(Logger.LogLevel.INFO);            //analytics.getLogger().setLogLevel(Logger.LogLevel.VERBOSE);            // Create a new tracker            Tracker t = (trackerId == TrackerName.APP_TRACKER) ? analytics.newTracker(R.xml.ga_tracker_config) : null;            if (t != null) {                t.enableAdvertisingIdCollection(true);            }            mTrackers.put(trackerId, t);        }        return mTrackers.get(trackerId);    }

This is a know bug in Google Play Services 6.5.

The issue is fixed in Google Play Services 7.0 that was released in March 19, 2015. Upgrading to 7.0 fixes the deadlock.https://developer.android.com/google/play-services/index.html

I had the same ANR issue every time I was calling GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this). The problem seems to appear when the Google Play Services version in the app is not matching the one installed on the device.

I solved this by checking if Google Play Services is "available":

if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this) == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {    GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);    // Create your tracker...}
