Steps to Reproduce

Hi!

I want to enrich my activity transactions with some data taken from a bundle or start measuring some operations during activity onCreate method but when I call Sentry.getSpan() during activity's onCreate method, I don't get this activity's transaction because it gets created on onActivityCreated. So the data or spans are attached to the previous activity's transaction.

Expected Result

Calling Sentry.getSpan() during an activity's onCreate method returns this activity's transaction.

Actual Result

Calling Sentry.getSpan() during an activity's onCreate method returns previous activity's transaction.

hi @zhukic
the transaction related to the new Activity should be started when the Activity calls super.onCreate()
As long as Sentry.getSpan() is called after super.onCreate(), it should return the latest span, which is under the new Activity transaction.
I'm currently unable to replicate the issue.
Can you ensure you call Sentry.getSpan() after super.onCreate()? And if so, can you attach your configuration, please?

@stefanosiano Hi!

You're right. I called Sentry.getSpan() before super.onCreate(). When I tried to call after onCreate, it worked.

Sorry for disturbing, and thank you for the help!
