Firebase: The database '/google_app_measurement_local.db' is not open

Question

After having started using Firebase for event logging in my android app I keep getting these error messages when I fire up my app:

E/System: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The database '/...folder here.../google_app_measurement_local.db' is not open.

Here's a snippet from my build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:9.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.8.0'
    compile files('src/main/resources/simple-xml-2.7.jar')
    compile files('src/main/resources/date4j.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0'
    compile files('src/main/resources/picasso-2.5.2.jar')
}

All I do is call

_firebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(context);

and then

_firebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SHARE, payload);

I have not been able to find any solutions online and am now hoping for help here...

Please move to latest version of firebase SDK. Firebase solved this memory leak issue in their updated sdk. Remove your old SDK and add below line in your gradle file.

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.1'
