I tried to use Google Analytics in my app. I created a account, registered for an app and got the reg number. Added the libGoogleAnalyticsV2.jar to my app build path. I tried to use the following code. 

GoogleAnalyticsTracker tracker = GoogleAnalyticsTracker.getInstance();
tracker.setDebug(true);
tracker.startNewSession("UA code",10, this);

But I can’t import GoogleAnalyticsTracker. It says

“GoogleAnalyticsTracker cannot be resolved to a type”

Update1

I used version1 of Google analytics. And used the following code. From P.T’s answer, I waited for more than 24 hours. Still I can’t see the user in RealTime overview.
I used the following code in my class file.

GoogleAnalyticsTracker tracker;
tracker = GoogleAnalyticsTracker.getInstance();    
        tracker.startNewSession("UA code", 20,this);
        tracker.trackPageView("/BS_Splash");

Update 2

I tired with V2. Used the following code.

Context mCtx = this; // Get current context.
        GoogleAnalytics myInstance = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(mCtx.getApplicationContext());
        myInstance.setDebug(true);
        Tracker myNewTracker = myInstance.getTracker("UA code");
        myInstance.setDefaultTracker(myNewTracker);

In log cat I got the following, connection to service failed 1

    Try downloading and installing the “legacy” (v1) GA library, or use the new V2 “Advanced” APIs.

    The code you’ve got is assuming the V1 APIs, so its probably easiest to install the V1 library instead. See:

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

    Alternatively, you can find an equivalent snippet (that doesn’t use EasyTracker) in the “Advanced” section of the V2 API documentation. See:

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

    Specifically, it looks like the global instance lookup now takes an Android Context argument, and its just GoogleAnalytics not GoogleAnalyticsTracker:

    Context mCtx = this; // Get current context.
GoogleAnalytics myInstance = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(mCtx.getApplicationContext());
myInstance.setDebug(true);

    The tracker is now separate as the Tracker class:

    Tracker myNewTracker = myInstance.getTracker("UA-XXXX-2") // A new tracking ID.
