Hi all, I was recently getting a lot of crashes from Google Analytics on an LG Revolution that appeared very similar to the crashes detailed in these threads:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/77c71953388f6ab1 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5358014/android-httpclient-oom-on-4g-lte-htc-thunderbolt What I understand is happening is that during the dispatch, the socket that GA creates uses what ever the device's default buffer size is. This would be fine on most phones (I tested on an HTC Evo 4G and HTC Desire, they each create a 16K buffer by default), except on the LG Revolution (and apparently the HTC Thunderbolt) it creates a 2MB buffer by default instead. Clearly, with 24MB of heap, dispatches going out every 20 seconds or so, and a GC engine that tends to fragment, this will lead to OOM errors pretty quickly. I've filed a bug report with the GA team here: http://code.google.com/p/analytics-issues/issues/detail?id=153 If anyone has been seeing this issue as well, I'd encourage you to voice it there, or you could star the issue to see if we can't get the team's attention. In the meantime, I've implemented this stopgap measure to turn GA off if my app is running on a phone that defaults to a huge buffer: Socket s = new Socket(); int bufferSize = 0; try { bufferSize = s.getSendBufferSize(); } catch (SocketException e1) { e1.printStackTrace(); } Log.i(TAG, "Default buffer size: " + bufferSize); if(bufferSize > 1000000) { USES_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS = false; Log.e(TAG, "Default socket buffer too large, disabling GA"); } This goes in the Application class's onCreate method, or you could use it in your launching Activity. USES_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS is a global variable that you would check anywhere you would log a GA event. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
