Summary

Sentry has released an updated version 3.0.0 of its Android Gradle plugin, which brings enhanced performance monitoring capabilities to developers, including support for Room and SQLite queries, as well as File I/O operations, allowing them to measure database query execution times and identify potential performance issues in their mobile applications. The plugin provides automated instrumentation for Activities, Fragments rendering, and outgoing HTTP requests, while also capturing spans for persistence (database) and caching (File I/O) performance, giving developers a comprehensive view of their application's performance and helping them optimize user experience. To get started, developers can use the Sentry Android Gradle plugin version 3.0.0 or above along with the Sentry Android SDK, configuring the trace sample rate and enabling auto-instrumentation for database queries and file I/O operations, which will automatically capture spans for these operations.
