Logging HTTP requests/responses with Fiddler on Android emulator

Question

Fiddler manages to log all my PC HTTP traffic, but when I run Android emulator and start browsing web though emulator, nothing gets logged.

Why isn't Fiddler logging Android emulator browser HTTP traffic?

Answer 1

Please see the detailed instructions in this video: How To Configure Fiddler Proxy for Android Studio Emulator (HTTP/HTTPS) I use Fiddler v4.6.20171.9220 and it works for me.

NOTE: http_proxy env variable may be affecting other program's ability to connect to the internet, make sure remove the variable when not needed.

Answer 2

Emulator has to be aware of Fiddler, just like your normal PC browsers are. When you want Fiddler to log your IE activity, you have to set up Fiddler as a IE proxy (actually, it happens automatically, but still).
