Google Analytics V2 SDK for Android EasyTracker giving errors

I have followed the tutorial for the new Google Analytics V2 SDK for Android located here:

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v2/

Unfortunately whenever I go to run the application the reporting is not working and this is the messages that logcat gives me:

07-09 09:13:16.978: W/Ads(13933): No Google Analytics: Library Incompatible.

Here is my code (I have redacted some of the code that had to do with httppost, etc.):

    package com.mysampleapp.sampleapp;

    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;

    import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
    import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
    import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
    import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
    import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
    import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
    import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
    import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
    import org.json.JSONArray;
    import org.json.JSONObject;

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

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.app.ProgressDialog;
    import android.content.DialogInterface;
    import android.content.DialogInterface.OnCancelListener;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.content.SharedPreferences;
    import android.os.AsyncTask;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
    import android.util.Log;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
    import android.widget.ImageView;
    import android.widget.TextView;


    public class viewRandom extends Activity {

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            setContentView(R.layout.viewrandom);



            uservote.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            new randomViewClass().execute();

        }

        public void onStart() {
            super.onStart();
            EasyTracker.getInstance().activityStart(this);
        }

        public void onStop() {
            super.onStop();
            EasyTracker.getInstance().activityStop(this);
        }
}

I realize this is an old post, but I wanted to provide some more information sense this is exactly the same error I was receiving today.

Prince is exactly correct, it's from the dashes. For most deleting the dash and typing out - again will work. But once you clean your project again it will switch it back to the en_dash which might be mysho's problem.

It does this automatically because of Android Lint. You can disable it though!

Go into your preferences (I'm on a mac so for me it's Eclipse -> Preferences)

Go to Android Go to Lint error Checking

You can either disable Lint checker completely or do what I did, disable just the en_dash thing

Either fine the one called "TypographyDashes" under Usability:Typography or search "dash" inside the search box. Either way it should come up with TypographyDashes.

Highlight it and turn it to "Ignore" under the severity

From there Click apply and then allow it to relint

Hope I could help

It's better to add an attribute into the "resources" tag like below :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:ignore="TypographyDashes">
  <!--Replace placeholder ID with your tracking ID-->
  <string name="ga_trackingId">UA-12345678-X</string>

  <!--Enable automatic activity tracking-->
  <bool name="ga_autoActivityTracking">true</bool>

  <!--Enable automatic exception tracking-->
  <bool name="ga_reportUncaughtExceptions">true</bool>
</resources>

OK I found out what the problem was with this. It was within my analytics.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<resources>
    <string name="ga_trackingId">UA-0000000-00</string>
    <bool name="ga_autoActivityTracking">true</bool>
    <bool name="ga_reportUncaughtExceptions">true</bool>
    <string name="ga_sampleFrequency">20</string>
</resources>

What had happened was when I pasted my trackingId into the file, eclipse had converted it to an "en dash" automatically and Google was unable to read my trackingId properly. Changing the en dashes to regular dashes worked fine and now everything in functioning.
