DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Document manual Session Replay control for Android, including:

  • Starting full-session or buffered recording independently of automatic sampling
  • Pausing recording on sensitive screens and resuming the same replay
  • Stopping a replay or flushing pending data in session, buffer, and stopped states
  • Disabling automatic recording with both sample rates set to 0.0
  • Calling the APIs safely from any thread

This gives Android developers the same manual lifecycle guidance available for the JavaScript SDK while documenting Android-specific behavior such as the 30-second buffer and persistent manual pause.

Depends on getsentry/sentry-java#5978.
