I want to know if there's any way to find out the URL when any android app makes a network request.
Like, for websites, when we use Chrome Developer tools we can find out the URL of the ajax request made by the webpage of any website.
Is there any such way for Android app?
Use charles as a proxy server on your computer. Open your mobile phone network setting and set the http proxy and then you can grab request from you android app. Charles download url https://www.charlesproxy.com/。
Open WIFI wireless hotspot on your computer then connect to the hotspot。Now you can use wireshark or httpScoop to grab request from you android app.

I'm building an app (android + iOS) that needs to be able to reach an API Endpoint through a https proxy.
The development environment is Android Studio + Xcode + macOS.
My development path is:
Reach the endponit using android emulator settings.
Reach the endpoint using real andorid device settings.
Reach the endpoint using inapp solution implenting the https proxy connection management inside the app.
Since I'm at the first point, my problem is that I'm not able to setup the Android emulator with the https proxy.
(For iOS app, just setting up the mac network preferences is enought)
In Android, I successly set up the http, but not the https.
I have tried setting up the apn at the vitrual device, and running the emulator with -http-proxy.
According to the documentation it includes https proxy, but it still not working.
The debugger saids that the server response is null when calling https. Http redirects to https.
All of those solutions just works for the http, not for the https.
I have also tried whit genymotion with no success.
I have tested the API from my computer (via postman) and it is all ok.
Has anyone been able to successfully access an https proxy from the Android emulator? It's possible? What settings am I omitting?
Thank you so much in advance.
PS: My problem is related with HTTPS, I am able to use HTTP proxy
I am trying to hit web services in native android application and the IP address which I am trying to hit should bypass corporate proxy.
But to connect my emulator to internet I have to set proxy in emulator.
Is there anyway I can bypass proxy for this specific IP address in emulator?
My emulator is connected to internet presently and can open sites through browser.
You need to set an intermediate proxy as Android emulator doesn't have options to set internal server URLs which don't need proxies. Try the approach suggested here. It works!
I have the following setup:
Mobile Clients (Android and iOS) are communicating with 3 servers directly using HTTPS rest requests with json body.
I want to host a server in the middle and send all requests when the application is used in one of the non-PROD environments and log every request and response. In real time the developers or QAs to open a web page and see in real time every activity the application is doing.
Also: Apply some filters, for example only requests to a specific address, or everything but specific address. Apply delays and change the request/response body or status code - like in Fiddler.
In order to achieve this today I have to host Fiddler or Charles proxy and setup the computer as proxy server to every device.
What can you advise me to use?
You can host a Fiddler proxy on your server. Also in the Fiddler settings, don't forget to mark the 'Decrypt HTTPS' setting if you want to see the HTTPS traffic.
Fiddler will give you a certificate which you will need to install on mobile devices so that Fiddler can decrypt HTTPS connections.
Set your proxy in the Wifi settings.
Make sure that your app uses the proxy settings which are set in the Wifi Settings. I have seen some apps which ignore the proxy settings.
you can setup a wifi proxy server and ask all the the devices to connect through that wifi proxy server...Now you can monitor traffic on that proxy server...
On Linux server you can use squid to setup wifi proxy -http://computernetworkingnotes.com/network-administrations/squid-server.html
To setup wifi proxy on android device go to Go to Settings/Wi-Fi-> "Show advanced options"-> "Proxy settings" and choose "manual"
I am connecting the android device to jmeter 2.12 using HTTP Test script recorder and also configured the host ip in wifi. but when i am launching the url in browser of android device it says Unable to connect to proxy. Can we actually load test the hybrid android application which are sending https request with jmeter. please suggest
As per Load Testing Mobile Apps. But Made Easy. guide
Note that Android supports only HTTP proxy. If your application uses an HTTPS connection, then you may use an additional application that performs with HTTPS proxing
So if you need to record HTTPS traffic I think that you need to install an application which can proxy HTTPS, for instance ProxyDroid
I need monitor and block websites in realtime(It's for a parental control app). I did some research and found this app qustodio. It seems like they are using internal proxy server to do it. Every time browser request a web site it going to localhost:port address and redirect to that site(It does not work in incongnito mode in that app). I checked proxy settings in chrome but i couldn't find any proxy settings in chrome://net-internals.
I need to know how to redirect every web request to that local server programmatically?
Although its too late, I figured out qustodio, does not redirect the web request to any local server, instead it uses the Accessibility Service of android to monitor the chrome browser and fetches the url's from there to filter out the blocked content for children.
