Already using Sentry for Android? Here are some recent highlights
We released Performance-V2, a set of experimental features to give you more details about app start performance and frame delay on a span level.
We released Source Context, which shows snippets of code around the location of stack frames.
Let us know if you have feedback by filing a GitHub issue.
- Native Development Kit (NDK), the set of tools that allows you to use C and C++ with Android.
- Events enriched with device data.
- Offline caching. (If a device is offline, we'll send a report once the application has been restarted.)
- Automatic breadcrumbs for:
- Android activity lifecycle events.
- Application lifecycle events.
- System events such as: low battery, low storage space, airplane mode started, shutdown, changes of the configuration, and so forth.
- Application component callbacks.
- User Interactions such as: view click, scroll, swipe, and so on.
- Android fragment lifecycle events.
- OkHttp requests.
- Apollo requests.
- Timber logs.
- Navigation destination changes.
- Release health, tracking crash-free users and sessions.
- Attachments that can enrich your event by storing additional files, such as config or log files.
- User Feedback, providing the ability to collect user information when an event occurs.
- Tracing that can track:
- Android activity transactions.
- User interaction transactions such as: view click, scroll, swipe, and so on.
- Navigation transactions.
- Android fragment spans.
- Cold and warm app starts.
- Slow and frozen frames.
- OkHttp request spans.
- SQLite and Room query spans.
- File I/O spans.
