Android Google Analytics doesnot report for uncaught crash and exception

Question

I am creating an application in which I want to see the crash and exception report on the google analytics account.

I am using the following code for this functionality:

"analytics_global_config.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <resources>
  <string name="ga_appName">app_name</string>
  <string name="ga_logLevel">verbose</string>
  <integer name="ga_dispatchPeriod">1</integer>
  <bool name="ga_dryRun">true</bool>
</resources>

I have declared this xml in the manifest file as follows:

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

xml file for tracking: "analytics_track.xml" as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:ignore="TypographyDashes">
    <string name="ga_trackingId">UA-XXXXXXXX-1
     </string>
    <bool name="ga_autoActivityTracking">true
     </bool>
    <bool name="ga_reportUncaughtExceptions">true
     </bool>
    <string name="ga_sampleFrequency">99.8</string>
    <integer name="ga_sessionTimeout">2000</integer>
    <bool name="ga_anonymizeIp">true</bool>

In the application class I have used this code as follows:

Tracker tracker = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).(R.xml.analytics_track);

I am getting log on start of application as:

But the issue is that it is not giving uncaught crash and exception. I manually making eception and after exception I get the following logs as:

09-23 16:32:22.770: V/GAV4(7763): Thread[main,5,main]: Tracking Exception: ActivityNotFoundException (@FullVideoActivity:onCompletion:276) {main}

09-23 16:32:22.770: V/GAV4(7763): Thread[main,5,main]: Passing exception to original handler.

I am not getting any exception and crash on google analytics account. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Thanks Ishan jain

You are not sending the hit to the service. You should get after Thread[GAThread,5,main]: Initialized GA Thread the following:

    Thread[GAThread,5,main]: Loaded clientId
    Thread[GAThread,5,main]: putHit called
    Thread[GAThread,5,main]: Sending hit to service ..

In the application class you have to use:

 Tracker tracker = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).newTracker(R.xml.analytics_track);

If it is still not working you can also try to set GoogleAnalytics by adding the following method in onCreate() from your application class:

private void initGoogleAnalytics() {
    GoogleAnalytics mGoogleAnalytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);
    mGoogleAnalytics.setDryRun(false);
    mGoogleAnalytics.setLocalDispatchPeriod(10);
    mGoogleAnalytics.getLogger().setLogLevel(Logger.LogLevel.VERBOSE);
    mGoogleAnalytics.enableAutoActivityReports(this);
}
