Question

I am using Google Analytics for Android but after turning on StrictMode I get a lot of message like this:

 StrictMode policy violation; ~duration=349 ms: android.os.StrictMode$StrictModeDiskReadViolation: policy=23 violation=2
 at android.os.StrictMode$AndroidBlockGuardPolicy.onReadFromDisk(StrictMode.java:745)

Can I ignore that?
I also tried to put tracker.trackingPageView(…) into AsyncTask – same Result.

Here are my settings for StrictMode:

    StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
    .detectDiskReads()
    .detectDiskWrites()
    .detectNetwork()
    .penaltyLog()
    .build());

    StrictMode.setVmPolicy(new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder()
        .detectLeakedSqlLiteObjects()
    .penaltyLog()
    .penaltyDeath()
    .build());

I would really appreciate any help – thanks in advance!

Check out the iosched app for their AnalyticsUtils.java which does some asynctask magic around track calls. There is however this in the constructor:

    // Unfortunately this needs to be synchronous.
    mTracker.start(UACODE, 300, mApplicationContext);
