Connect your Android project to GlitchTip

Add the sentry Android SDK to your app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.sentry:sentry-android:8.+'
}

Add the DSN to your AndroidManifest.xml inside the <application> element:

<application>
    <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.dsn" android:value="YOUR_DSN" />
    <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.traces.sample-rate" android:value="0.01" />
</application>

The SDK initializes automatically via a content provider — no code changes needed for basic setup.

Verify your setup in an Activity:

import io.sentry.Sentry

Sentry.captureException(Exception("Test GlitchTip error!"))

Debug Symbols

Upload debug symbols for readable native crash stack traces using the GlitchTip CLI:

glitchtip-cli debug-files upload ./app/build --org my-org --project my-project

Tips

  • Set io.sentry.traces.sample-rate to a low value. Mobile apps can generate many transactions.
  • Use io.sentry.release and io.sentry.environment meta-data tags to track versions.
