Google Analytics/OkHttp conflict on Android

[romainpiel]

Hey, I've just noticed a weird issue. I'm not sure it's related to Okhttp, Retrofit or Google Analytics but I'll post it here.

In my Android app I have a very simple screen performing autocomplete with google places API. This is done using Retrofit and Okhttp. Everything was working fine until I integrated Google Analytics v3. When the autocomplete requests were running (ie when the thread Spdy Reader maps.googleapis.com was spawn) an ANR was occurring once Google Analytics was sending its data. I fixed it by removing Okhttp and using the default client from retrofit.

I know its a pretty weird and random issue but I thought you might be interested by that result. I will post a sample to reproduce the issue.

The stacktrace is not very verbose, it just says the crash happened on Google Analytics' side (GAThread).

Please post a sample and a stackdump.

Will do asap

Have a look at #184 . I had the same issue with GoogleAnalytics and OkHttp and solved it by adding a private SslSocketFactory to the used OkHttpClient as proposed here

I've tried the workarounds from #184, and it still segfaults.

[ChristianKatzmann]

Could you please paste your code for Retrofit's RestAdapter creation?

[Richie97]

I'm not using Retrofit, just OkHttp and Google Analytics.

[ChristianKatzmann]

Ok, could you then post the OkHttpClient initialization code, please?

[Richie97]

Currently it's:

OkHttpClient httpClient = new OkHttpClient();
SSLContext sslContext;
try {
     sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
     sslContext.init(null, null, null);
} catch (GeneralSecurityException e) {
     throw new AssertionError(); // The system has no TLS. Just give up.
}
httpClient.setSslSocketFactory(sslContext.getSocketFactory());
URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(httpClient);
return httpClient;

I've tried without adding the SSL Context to OkHttp, but Google Analytics still segfaults.

@Richie97 that's strange. You're sure that's the only place OkHttp is being used?

[ChristianKatzmann]

Do you use Picasso, maybe?

[Richie97]

@swankjesse Ah, I had a library I made that also relied on OkHttp. Also adding the workarounds to that fixed the issue.

[JakeWharton]

@Richie97 So you're saying this is a duplicate of #184? Can we close this issue then?

[Richie97]

2 months late, but yeah.
