Android Sentry not showing logs in dashboard

Question

I'm adding Sentry to my android wearable application to log crashes. However Sentry is not sending/showing any events in the dashboard.

I'm testing on an android emulator which has internet acces. I'm using the following setup:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);

    Sentry.init("http://public:private@sentry.io/app_id?async=false", new AndroidSentryClientFactory(this.getApplicationContext()));

    try{
        int i = 4 / 0;
    } catch (Throwable ex) {
        Sentry.capture(ex);
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

The only logs I am getting are:

03-04 18:58:54.214 31757-31757/nl.jamieknoef.homewizard.homewizard_java D/io.sentry.android.AndroidSentryClientFactory: Construction of Android Sentry.

Any idea's what causing Sentry to not send events?

Answer 1

I noticed Sentry doesn't immediatly send logs, it periodically sends your exceptions to their servers. So if you crash your application on your first activity in the onCreate method like I did, it probably won't get the time to ever send your exceptions.
