Google Analytics Easy Tracker Memory Issues

Question

I am trying to integrate Google Analytics in my Activities. As per the official documentation i used the "Easy Tracker" Library provided by Google and extended my activities from "TrackedActivity" The exact syntax i use is:

EasyTracker.getTracker().trackPageView("/myview"+viewname);

I am getting Null Pointer Exception randomly but Logcat shows "at Google Analytics" and surprisingly not at any place in my code. In some of my activities, I am calling system.gc() function in the onDestroy() method. (Could be the issue) Its supposed to be a singleton object I am worried if its getting garbage collected?

Needless to say as of now my app crashes. What worries me further is that even if i do a try catch or put exception checkers ie. check across null object. I am still worried that my activities might not get tracked even if the Crash is avoided.

Please Suggest.

Make sure that you don't invoke methods of EasyTracker before onStart() of your Activity. Also set ga_debug and ga_auto_activity_tracking to "true" to get debug statements and to track all activities of the application respectively.
