Android Error and Performance Monitoring
Crush Crashes and ANRs
Get your crash rates to zero (ish) and launch time under a second with Android error and performance monitoring that won’t let you down. Identify and fix every crash and ANR with real time insights, track and solve performance issues with full stack visibility, and save time with efficient workflows.
18,000+ mobile teams rely on Sentry for the stability and performance of their mobile apps
Get Started with Jetpack Compose
Jetpack Compose is Android’s recommended toolkit for building native UI. Our integration automatically captures user interactions as breadcrumbs and transactions, so you can quickly understand and solve any related issues.

“We were using another popular tool for mobile crash tracking but we wanted to ‘up our game’ and go beyond that. We wanted to capture non-fatal errors in addition to crashes and be set up in a way that we can actually triage and respond to them. We also wanted a better understanding of performance, like screen rendering time. Sentry helped us achieve that.”
Getting Started is Simple
Add the Sentry Android SDK to your build.gradle file:
dependencies { implementation 'io.sentry:sentry-android:6.22.0' }
Configure via the application AndroidManifest.xml Here's an example config, which should get you started:
<application> <!-- Required: set your sentry.io project identifier (DSN) --> <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.dsn" android:value="https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0" /> <!-- enable automatic breadcrumbs for user interactions (clicks, swipes, scrolls) --> <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.traces.user-interaction.enable" android:value="true" /> <!-- enable screenshot for crashes --> <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.attach-screenshot" android:value="true" /> <!-- enable view hierarchy for crashes --> <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.attach-view-hierarchy" android:value="true" /> <!-- enable the performance API by setting a sample-rate, adjust in production env --> <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.traces.sample-rate" android:value="1.0" /> <!-- enable profiling when starting transactions, adjust in production env --> <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.traces.profiling.sample-rate" android:value="1.0" /> </application>

FAQs
ANR or Application Not Responding is an Android error that occurs when the UI thread becomes unresponsive to the user. When the application becomes unresponsive, the user is presented with an ANR dialog that gives them the option to force quit the application.
Yes. The Android Native Development Kit (NDK) allows you to implement parts of your app in native code, using languages such as C and C++. NDK integration is packed with Sentry’s Android SDK. The package sentry-android-ndk works by bundling Sentry's native SDK, sentry-native. As a result, even if a native library in your app causes the crash, Sentry is able to capture it. Learn More.
Yes. Whenever the main UI thread of the application is blocked for more than five seconds, the SDK will report the problem to the server. Learn more.
Crashlytics is a lightweight, mobile-only tool that only reports critical crash rates for Android. It does not offer deep context into issues with suspect commits, codeowners, and automatic non-fatal error capture; holistic monitoring from frontend to backend; or collaboration tools like issue triage or assignment.
Sentry is a fullstack error and performance monitoring solution that provides actionable insights into crashes across devices and app versions as well as powerful collaboration tools, helping teams troubleshoot and resolve issues faster. Unlike Crashlytics, it provides deep insight into any crashes, errors, or performance issues on your Android app, as well as collaboration tools for fast resolution. Sentry is also the only monitoring solution that provides support for Jetpack Compose, Android’s recommended toolkit for building native UIs. Learn more.
