I'm looking for a programmatic way to set-up http proxy settings for android handsets. I've tried using android.provider.Settings.System.putString() to set System.HTTP_PROXY, but my call fails (I'm using a 2.2 emulator image at the moment). My code looks like:
if (System.putString(getContentResolver(), System.HTTP_PROXY, "10.10.2.1:8080")) {
tv.append("put for HTTP_PROXY succeeded. ");
} else { tv.append("put for HTTP_PROXY failed. "); }
I've also added to my android manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" />
Although it's not clear from the docs which permission, if any, is required.
I'm familiar with this SO thread, but the technique there requires manual adb commands, which require the SDK tools and (possibly) a rooted phone. Is there a way to accomplish this? Ideally, I'd like away to set an http proxy that will be used for both data and WiFi connections.
I am developing applications for Android in a company where the Internet is accessable via a proxy server only. I found out that the emulator of the 1.5 R3 SDK works well with the option -http-proxy, but the emulator of the 1.6 R1 SDK does not. Is this a bug in the 1.6 R1 SDK? And if so, is there a chance this gets fixed in - let's say - 1.6 R2? Or am I just doing something wrong, though providing the same options for the 2 different emulator versions?

1. -http-proxy option using emulator command.
2. setting http_proxy environment and then launching the emulator.

How can we access Internet from emulator (behind a proxy).
I am having a specific problem that is preventing me using the android SDK from work. We are using a MS Proxy here that all internet traffic has to go through. The problem seems to be when the emulator is trying to access a site that uses 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' If I attempt to download www.nds.com (no chunked encoding) into the browser, it works fine. However if I try to go to www.google.com (uses chunked encoding), the browser fails with the message: can't determine content length, and client wants to keep connection opened My feeling (and I'm no expert in this area) is that the underlying code managing the communication through the proxy is not dealing with the null terminator on the chunk encoded response when the connection to the proxy is being kept open? Does anyone have any experience in this area? Is the source to the emulator available so I can try and understand what is going on here?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I connect to the student's wifi network, it requiers to configure the proxy with authentification. Well I'm fine with that, and the browser works all right, but all of the apps which require internet access aren't working. I also noticed, that when I'm configuring the proxy in the settings, it actually says that the HTTP proxy will be used by the browser, but not by some of the apps (in my case none of the apps work, including the pre-installed apps like android market, youtube or google maps).
So my question is that is there any way to make the apps work with the HTTP proxy? I should say that I found this thread on this forum:

but I had trouble understanding it. Also if this matters, I'm using an Asus Eee Pad Transformer running android 3.2.1.
My provider only permits me to connect to the internet via the web-browser. Only the web-browser works. I want to use the Android market, but it doesn't connect. Is there some sort of proxy I could use to get around this? I can connect to the market if I'm on my home WiFi, but not if I'm on my network GPRS.
View 13 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that all my devices are on a wifi network that uses http/https/ftp/SOCKS proxy settings to connect to internet. All the devices connect to internet after I use proxy settings on them. But few applications such as skype do not connect to internet. They work fine when I connect to a wifi network that does not use any proxy settings (at home), but at work when I have to use proxy settings to access internet, the apps fail to connect. I have a couple of devices which are not rooted (Fujitsu Stylistic M532 tablet, Garmin-Asus A10 phone) and I am not sure if I can root them. I would really want to use all the apps.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am tring to debug an android app. I need to pass all the http trafic of my htc desire s through a proxy server( Paros, WebScarab, etc.) that i have on my pc. I need to intercept the http messages.
I have rooted the phone and installed a proxy on it. I have connected the phone and the pc to the same wifi so that they will be in the same network. After this i have put the pc's ip in the Proxy Host: "192.168.1.2" and the port "8080" on the Proxy Port field because Paros Proxy uses 8080.
I'm at complete odds over configuring a proxy to inspect the HTTP(S) traffic for the app I'm developing. I've tried running Fiddler2 and Charles Web Proxy, both run on 127.0.0.1:888, and starting up the Android emulator with the parameter:
To test it out I open the Android browser. I see in Fiddler2 that the request is routed through the proxy. However, only RARELY does the request receive a successful response. In most, and when I say most I mean 99% of the time, the request is retried and fails again with the Android browser telling me "The server failed to communicate". Has anyone found a way to configure Fiddler2 or Charles for debugging HTTP(S) traffic through the Android emulator?
I'm currently trying to debug an issue with my application and I wanted to see if my internal proxy is sending the data in the proper order. Is there any way to essentially sniff my proxy pipe?

I need to send asynchronous calls to the server. During network connection this works fine. How ever if i disable my LAN from Network connections android will through a socket exception after the specified timeout for that particular call. Now the issue that i face is the time out happens in a synchronous manner. Though both the calls has been started in a thread the timeout is not happening at the same time. If i keep the timeout as 20sec i am getting a socket exception for the first call after 20 sec and after the next 20 sec i get the timeout for the next call. Why is this happening..? I am not opening two connections asynchronously in this case. I am attaching a sample code that can replicate the above scenario. Code...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm making an http request. I'm on a platform (android) where network operations often fail because the network connection might not be immediately available. Therefore I'd like to try the same connection N times before completely failing. Was thinking of something like this:
DefaultHttpClient mHttp = ...;
public HttpResponse runHttpRequest(HttpRequestBase httpRequest)
throws IOException
IOException last = null;
for (int attempt = 0; attempt < 3; attempt++) {
try {
HttpResponse response = mHttpClient.execute(httpRequest);
int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (statusCode == 200) {
return response }
} catch (IOException e) {
httpRequest.abort();
last = e;
throw last;
I'm mostly worried about the connection being in some state which is invalid on subsequent retries. In other words, do I need to completely recreate 'httpRequest', should I avoid calling httpRequest.abort() in the catch block, and only call it in the final failure?
I am using org.apache.http.*; API's to make HTTP Post Connections over Internet from the Android Application. I added the Internet Permissions in the Manifest file and it works fine. Now i want my application to make the same HTTP requests over WiFi network through which the handset is connected.
Do i need to make code changes to achieve this? Do i need to add some permissions? as i am unable to make requests...

I need to make HTTP request on Android using GSM connection, not Wifi. My current solution is to disconnect from all wi-fi connections and perform a request. Is there any better solution?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm facing an annoying problem here. My application is connected to a server that sends some data from time to time. It's some kind of eventing server. In order to receive data, I'm connecting to the server with an HttpURLConnection, retrieve the response InputStream and loop on it with the read method. The connection is always open. The distant server is cutting the connection every 5 minutes (for test purpose). When connection is closed, my application has to reconnect again. We detect a Connection Reset by Peer exception when the server closes the connection. The problem is that most of the time, I never receive the Connection Reset by Peer exception. So my application can't know that is has to reconnect and it's stucked on the read instruction. The InputStream.Read() method shouldn't always raise an exception if the connection is closed? What can I do to always detect Connection Reset by Peer exception?
