Type casting exception in android

Question

I got an exception:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.app.Application cannot be cast to analytics.AnalyticsApplication

This is my MainActivity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Tracker mtracker;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


        AnalyticsApplication application = (AnalyticsApplication) getApplication();
        mtracker = application.getDefaultTracker();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mtracker.setScreenName("Main Activity");
        mtracker.send(new HitBuilders.ScreenViewBuilder().build());
    }
}

You're most likely not setting the application in the Manifest file. — DeeV

It's look like, you are missing binding part in Manifest. Look here for name attribute.

When you are creating subclass of Application then you must specify that class name in your manifest file.

<application
    android:name=".AnalyticsApplication"
    ... />

is equal to:

<application
    android:name="com.yournamespace.AnalyticsApplication"
    ... />
