Google Analytics
Can someone please help me with getting Google Analytics working?
I've followed all the directions here http://support.andromo.com/kb/common-questions/how-to-use-google-analytics-in-your-application
But, when I open Google Analytics I see no traffic at all. What am I doing wrong?

The quickest and easiest way to test it in my opinion is to open the app on your phone, use your desktop/laptop/tablet and go to the section in Analytics:
Standard Reports>Real-Time>Overview
You should see yourself browsing through app activities in analytics within a minute or less. It gets fun to watch when you get 15 or more people on. You really get a sense of what people are using the app for mostly. Good stuff.
All of my apps use the UA part included, exactly like my example above. I've never tried it without UA-, but it probably doesn't matter.
The analytics is somewhat limited because we are using it as a web page instead of an app, but Real-time should have worked. If you click on real time, be sure to then click on "Overview" just below it or one of the other options, location etc. Clicking real-time alone won't display any live results if i remember correctly.
As far as it showing the last visit was Saturday, you might double check the date settings because by default I think it lags 1 day behind unless you specify a date range to include today's date. Also, consider yourself counted only 1 time per day as normal analytics behavior. It probably checks cookies, ip address, etc. to confirm that you are indeed a new visitor that day. I can use one of my apps 20x a day and only get counted 1x per 24 hrs.

Other things that might cause problems... the possibility that you are sitting behind some crazy strict firewall or other program that is masking/hiding your internet activity (essentially making you anonymous/invisible/impossible to track). Your IP or internet activity could be somehow blocked/hidden at either at your end or your ISP. A very long shot, but just putting it out there.
I also wonder if GA is available to use in all countries and what country are you using your app from?
You could attach your .apk here or link us to it on Google Play and I'd
be happy to test/poke around in it. Maybe you would see it logging
my activity.

We're actually switching to a newer version of analytics in the near future which will let you use the full app analytics instead of tracking your app as a web site.
