Summary

Sentry is extending its Performance monitoring feature to Android applications, providing developers with full visibility into how their customers experience Android's myriad applications. This includes collecting context such as hardware model, software version, screen orientation, and battery level, as well as performance data like disk writes, media fetches, and object loads. To use Sentry on Android, developers need to install the Android SDK, add it to their build.gradle file, and configure the SDK with a DSN value. The current version of the Android SDK supports auto instrumentation activity rendering and will soon offer automatic span creation for active transactions and breadcrumb recording for outgoing HTTP requests. Sentry is also offering a referral program for new users, providing three free months on its Team plan.
