Can Sentry be initialized in the Android Application class? If so, update docs

Currently, the documentation suggests that Sentry should be initialized in Activity.onCreate. However, if the application is ever started from a different Activity, this code will not be run. This code could be called from all of the activity entry points in the app but it’s easy to forget.

In theory, a preferable approach would be to initialize Sentry in Application.onCreate, which runs before any Activities start. Is there any problem with doing this? If not, I’d recommend updating the docs to officially support this configuration.

@ninniuz I moved sentry.properties to <your-project>/<app-module>/src/main/resources/, And now there is no warning. Thank you so much.

@bruno-garcia Thank you for updating docs to configure Sentry in Application.

We’ve update the docs to use Application instead. https://docs.sentry.io/clients/java/integrations/#initialization
