feat(feedback): Add screenshot attachment button to user feedback widget by markushi · Pull Request #5828 · getsentry/sentry-java

markushi · 2026-07-23T16:46:15Z

📜 Description

Adds an "Add a screenshot" button to the Android user feedback form that opens the
androidx photo picker (ActivityResultContracts.PickVisualMedia, images only) and sends
the picked image as an attachment in the same envelope as the feedback.

Screen_recording_20260813_202418.mp4

New SentryFeedbackOptions: enableAttachScreenshot (default true, matching the JS SDK),
addScreenshotButtonLabel, removeScreenshotButtonLabel, screenshotTooLargeMessageText, plus the
io.sentry.feedback.enable-attach-screenshot manifest flag
androidx.activity:activity:1.8.2 is added as compileOnly — no new transitive
dependency; the button is hidden (with a warning log) when androidx.activity is missing
or the host Activity is not a ComponentActivity
The image is size-checked against maxAttachmentSize at pick time

Fixed along the way

The form was not scrollable, so in landscape or at large font scales the send and cancel
buttons were pushed off screen and the dialog could not be dismissed. It is now wrapped in
a ScrollView, and the three full width buttons were replaced with the framework dialog
button bar (cancel and send in a right aligned bar, screenshot as a borderless full width
action). No changelog entry, as it is bundled with this feature.

💡 Motivation and Context

resolves: Add file attachment support to user feedback widget #5485

💚 How did you test it?

Unit tests + Manual testing.

…hment paths Routes the three catch-all blocks around the screenshot picker through ExceptionUtils.rethrowIfFatal, so OOM, ThreadDeath and linkage errors propagate instead of being hidden, and logs the previously silent failure in getUriSize. Also moves the androidx.activity availability check out of SentryFeedbackScreenshotPicker, so the class is only loaded once the check passed, as its javadoc requires.

Replaces the three broad catches with the types the guarded code can actually throw: - launch() documents ActivityNotFoundException and the registry throws IllegalStateException for an unregistered launcher - the ContentResolver calls cross into the provider process, where Binder can only deliver the exceptions Parcel marshals, all RuntimeException Fatal throwables now propagate because they are never caught, so ExceptionUtils.rethrowIfFatal is no longer needed here.

Shared picker key breaks stacked forms

Medium Severity

The screenshot picker always registers on the host ActivityResultRegistry under the fixed key sentry_user_feedback_screenshot_picker. A second SentryUserFeedbackForm on the same ComponentActivity overwrites that registration. Dismissing the first form then calls unregister() on the shared key and tears down the still-visible form's launcher, so its add-screenshot action fails.

^{Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 5edad4a. Configure here.}

androidx.activity is a compileOnly dependency, so the version in the app's apk is outside our control and may be missing the photo picker APIs this was compiled against. Catches LinkageError locally at the two call sites that link against it, then falls back to the sanctioned ExceptionUtils.rethrowIfFatal pattern, as ExceptionUtils documents and SentrySQLiteDriver.hasConnectionPool demonstrates. Registration is now guarded too, so a version mismatch hides the screenshot button instead of breaking the whole form. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

    final @NotNull SentryOptions options = Sentry.getCurrentScopes().getOptions();
+    maybeRegisterScreenshotPicker(options);


Bug: The screenshot button remains visible after being disabled. If isEnableAttachScreenshot is set to false between form displays, the button's visibility is not updated, leaving it incorrectly visible.
_{Severity: LOW}

Suggested Fix

In the maybeRegisterScreenshotPicker() method, ensure the button's visibility is always set regardless of the isEnableAttachScreenshot() value. When disabled, explicitly set btnAddScreenshot.setVisibility(View.GONE) before the early return to correctly reflect the current configuration.

If the form is shown with screenshots enabled, then hidden, and then the setting is disabled, the button will incorrectly remain visible when the form is shown again. This happens because the `maybeRegisterScreenshotPicker()` method has an early return when the feature is disabled, which skips the logic that would hide the button. The button's visibility state from the previous showing persists.
