General :: How To Set HTTP Proxy For Apps
Apr 29, 2014
My 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.

When 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.

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?

I had tried to use the sqlite3 to add a proxy information in the com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, but I still couldn't access the Internet through browser on a real device. I had also tried to use the ProxySetting ap to set proxy. It couldn't work either. Is there any idea to set the http proxy on a real device?

I 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.

4. adding an entry in settings. CODE:.........
I also checked -debug-proxy log messages and it showed below messages
CODE:..............
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?

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.

Tried to dig deeper into where and when apps are accessing your data networks regardless of whether it was while you are on wifi or mobile networks. I'm rooted running 4.1.1 and I'm looking for an app that sort of works like a proxy except for my own phone and just my phone's data. The goal is to see which apps are accessing the internet and what websites they are accessing and how often, ect. Basically I'd like to eavesdrop on my own apps. Is that possible? How can I do this?

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 have a very nice 3G plan on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100) with Ice Cream Sandwich and i want to use the tethering option to share my internet connection and advertise my business through it. I can successfully share my 3G over wifi but i wanna go a step further and install a proxy on my tablet (or something similar) so when someone accesses my tethering wifi connection gets redirected to a webpage of my choise before being able to access any other websites (just like most proxies work in Hotels/Airports etc but without the need of any password, maybe just pushing an "Accept" button after a few lines of info)
I have done a quick search and all i could find is how to connect to a proxy for internet use at my android device or how to setup a proxy server for USB tethering (with software installed at the PC) but i need a softwareless wifi solution based on http headers so that any device can use it.

I upgrade my phone to android 4.2.2, since then, I realize that only can connect to my bussiness account (Exchange) using 3G, when I tried to use any wifi network (work or home) I can't connect.
I looked forward on forums, and see similar problems (3g connect only, wifi fail) , but no solutions.
I made several tests, and realize than the problem is not 3g or wifi, the problen is, Only work when I use a proxy server.
On APN settings, my configuration use proxy for 3g (operator configuration).
Wifi by default no use proxy. On my home for test this, I configured a proxy server and on my phone I configured wifi to use this proxy. Then Exchage sync works, when I remove proxy form settings, Exchage not sync (said cant connet to server)
Before the upgade on my phone worked with and without proxy settings. I think may be can be a bug on Exchange apk, but I still working out on that.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S Advance running Android 2.3.6
I was able to set up the proxy server through Settings - Wireless and Network - WiFi Settings - (Options button) - Advanced.
This works well for the browser. If the proxy server requires authentication, then a dialog box pops up for that purpose.
However, all the other apps are totally useless behind a proxy server that requires authentication.
How do I work around this without rooting my phone? If rooting is absolutely necessary, what app do you recommend to use (after rooting)? My google searches turn up ProxyDroid.

Managing Galaxy Note I & IIs running Android 4.1.2 and would like to direct network/browser traffic to a URL filtering service through a proxy server. Can confirm or deny (with supporting reference material) that Jelly Bean (specifically Android v4.1.2) has support for PAC files to configure proxy settings? The browsers I want to redirect to the proxy are Internet V4.1.2 (default with version 4.1.2 Android OS) and Chrome V 25.0.1364.169. Pointers to how to set proxies for those specific browser releases is also welcome.
If PAC file support does exist where does the PAC file need to be installed? How is it typically installed? Any documentation that reviews the PAC file support.

My company is importing some Android-based TV boxes from China, and we're experiencing a strange bug with some apps we are developing to run on them. I'm trying to find a specific solution that I can tell them to implement in a firmware upgrade, but I am not sure where to look.
In some apps (especially Adobe AIR-based ones), there seems to be a limit to concurrent HTTP requests to a web server. On an earlier ICS 4.0.4 firmware for these devices, this did not cause any problems. But they recently released a JB 4.1.1 firmware, and this problem occurs.
Let's say an app requests 20 items by HTTP from a web server (XML files, PNG or JPG images). What will happen is about 2/3 of these will be sent back, and the rest just remains blank, as if in a perpetual waiting status.
Looking at the web server's logs, there is no requests at all for these missing items.
And, it's totally random. If you re-launch the app, the missing items will be different ones.
So, I am guessing the app can only request so many things at the same time. Any system property that could be adjusted to solve this?
BTW I am unable to replicate this bug on any other device. The TV boxes in question are based on Rockchip 3066 SoC's

Why can't I download a ZIP via HTTP post through the stock browser?
The problem is mostly described in the following article: [URL] .....
Basically I am currently working on an ASP.NET application that bundles bunch of files into a zip and pushes it back to the client via the response output stream.
Now this works fine in Firefox and in the ICS 4.0 stock browser, but doesn't work on the clients Galaxy Tab running Honeycomb 3.0. What happens is it appears to download the html of the page instead.

I have source code from an appli running on android 3.2 with a WAMP Server and WowZa Server on my desktop. I have to make it accept the HLS (Http Live Streaming). I saw on the web that the Vitamio Library can do that so i used it. I know that natively, android 3.0+ do it well but i do not succeeded make it work successfully.
The player is successfully displayed but no video starts..After a reboot of my router (because my server didn't answer), the player crash each time.
Somestimes yes, sometimes no, i have some logs, they are as attachment.I think a buffer problem...
I think I have to implement this method (at the end of my code) but i know what type in it.public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mPlayer, int percent)
IT WORKS VERY WELL WITH .MP4
Here's my code from the Player Activity :
Code:
package fr.niji.broadpeak.activity;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
/*import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener;
[code]....
Commented lines are the lines when i had still not used Vitamio.

I'm having with the wi-fi on android. As many of us know, android has no native support for proxies, unfortunately my school's network uses a proxy server to access the internet. I have a wireless router connected to the network so i can have wireless on my laptop and such. What I was wondering was, can I use the router to allow my android phone to access the internet as well? I reckon it's just a matter of forwarding the right ports to the phone but I'm not sure which ports are in use. I'm using a htc desire and a d-link dir-600 router.

I can't use WiFi at work (a uni) as it needs a proxy address. Has anyone found an app to allow proxy settings input? It's a real bad failing for such a great device. I know Android 2.1 doesn't support as standard. Am gutted by their inability to work on this
