How to get Android HTTP requests?

I would like to get the HTTP POST and GET requests of Android applications and the browser. How can I sniff the network traffic?

It is important that I can also see the request which are caused by running Android applications.

You can start the emulator with the command -avd Adfmf -http-proxy http://SYSTEM_IP:PORT. I used HTTP Analyzer, but it should work for anything else. More details can be found here: http://stick2code.blogspot.in/2014/04/intercept-http-requests-sent-from-app.html

To track browser requests coming from the Emulator, you can refer: http://stick2code.blogspot.in/2014/04/intercept-http-requests-sent-from.html

If you are rooted, you can get a Wireshark port for Android here. You can record all network traffic on your phone, take the tcpdump files, and read them with a desktop version of Wireshark.

You can also use the android emulator on computers. Start the emulator via command line and add the -tcpdump tag. Use adb push my_app.apk to install your application onto the device. This will save a tcpdump file onto your PC, which can also be read with Wireshark.

For live tracking, you can also proxy your android connections through something like burp proxy.
