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...
