Sentry is here to help developers like you create better software faster by providing a comprehensive error tracking solution. This blog post will guide you through integrating the Sentry SDK into Java and Android projects. Ready to dive in? Let’s get started!

Getting Started with Sentry

To begin, you’ll need to take the following steps:

• Identify which Sentry package you need based on your project requirements.
• Add the Sentry SDK to your Maven project.
• Initialize Sentry in your code.

Choosing the Right Sentry Packages

Sentry provides a variety of packages. Below are some options you may consider:

• sentry-android – Minimum Android API Version: 19
• sentry-android-core – Minimum Android API Version: 19
• sentry-android-okhttp – Minimum Android API Version: 21
• sentry-spring-boot – Ideal for Spring Boot projects.

Integration Process

Let’s say integrating Sentry is like assembling a new bike from different parts. Each component has to fit perfectly together to create a smooth ride. The same applies to setting up the Sentry SDK:

• **Select the Parts**: Choose the necessary Sentry packages from the list provided above—each part has its purpose.
• **Install the Packages**: Using Maven, you’ll add the selected packages to your project configuration. Here’s how you can do it:

    
        io.sentry
        sentry-android
        2.x.x
    
    

• **Initialize the SDK**: In your application code, initialize Sentry. This is akin to adjusting your bike seat for a comfortable fit, ensuring the experience is user-friendly:

    Sentry.init(options -> {
        options.setDsn("YOUR_SENTRY_DSN");
    });
    

Troubleshooting Your Sentry Integration

Sometimes, things might not function as expected during your integration journey. Here are some common issues and solutions:

• Issue: SDK not sending events.
  Solution: Check your DSN and ensure it matches the one provided in your Sentry project settings.
• Issue: Missing dependencies.
  Solution: Ensure you have included all necessary libraries in your Maven project.
• Issue: Network errors.
  Solution: Make sure your application has the necessary network permissions and check firewall settings.
