Can I intercept a network requests made by my library in an app level (without adding any code to android library) ? I’m not using okhttp and don’t want to use it.

Do you know which domains you are looking for requests to?

[Trym Nilsen]

You can set up something like charles/proxyman to sniff the traffic, but this will require a change to your manifest and installing a certificate on the device.

I’m already using charles/mitmproxy. I’m asking if I can intercept network on device ?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

How are you making requests on the device? E.g. with HttpURLConnection directly, some other client library?

[Nikhil]

not with any client library. with HttpURLConnection.
Consider, I don’t want to include any line of code in my library to intercept a network request made through library.
Is there anything to achieve this in the app which implements this library as module dependency?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

I don’t think that HttpURLConnection provides that sort of functionality itself, i don’t see anything that looks relevant in the javadoc.

[Nikhil]

Hmm. Is there any other way around ?
