[android-developers] Proxy support for ALL apps (when?)

[Tobias Fuss]

Hey guys, 
one of the most important features for using android devices at 
universities, companys, governments etc. is still missing in android!

*It's proxy support (with authentication) for ALL apps and not just the 
browser...*

There are a few issue-threads on google code (
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36481, 
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35930), where many 
people beg for proxy support, but no one seems to care about!
So i opened up this thread to gain some more attention on this issue and i 
hope it will finally be integrated into the next version of android, that 
will be presented at google io 2013.

I really hope, that some folks from google (eg. JBQ) read this and pass it 
over to their developers, if not already done...
This feature is essential for some of us, and it's sad to see that iOS has 
support since 4.3 (it's just one simple checkbox labeled "Use this proxy 
for all apps"), while android still doesn't!

I'm sure this isn't a big deal for the great devs at google, so please 
finally implement it, we really need this in android 4.3.

PS: none of the root solutions (eg. proxy droid) worked for me and this 
must be possible WITHOUT root, as rooting your device is not allowed at 
some companies etc.

[Robert Greenwalt]

Thanks JP.  That's a useful observation.  I'll file a bug to get this
resolved.

[android-developers] Proxy doesn't work in connection with VPN

[Jaypi]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.2 and the web proxy server 
doesn't work while I'm connected with a VPN connection. 

First we have to connect with the wifi in our university, then we need to 
establish a VPN connection. The connection works and I get/send packages 
successfully. I have also an access to my home drive there. 

In addition to that we need to configure a proxy server to get access to 
the internet, but that doesn't work. There is no internet connection. 

Because there is no option to enable/configure a proxy directly in the 
browser, but only in the network area I think the proxy will be ignored by 
the VPN connection. 

Would be nice to fix that problem.

Best regards
JP

[android-developers] Proxy settings for ICS over ethernet

[Robert Walsh]

I am trying to set the browser proxy settings in Android ICS but am
having no luck.   The device I am using has ethernet but no wireless
so trying to set the APN or wireless network settings does not work.

I've found suggestions that you can use the java properties
(http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort) set via the setprop command, but
this does not seem to work.

There is also someone saying you can set the proxy in one of the
sqlite3 DBs, but again, no luck. The database is /data/data/
com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db and the
row should read – 99, http_proxy, proxy:port.

I have also tried setting the proxy on a nexus s ICS phone and then
poking around the sqlite dbs and the java properties (via getprop) but
I cannot find where the settings are stored.

Can anyone help me out here?

thanks!

[android-developers] proxy setting used by android browser??

[kris]

I was trying to figure out from where exactly does android browser
reads its proxy configuration. Is it Settings.Secure.HTTP_PROXY?. I
tried setting proxy using proxyselector using following command at adb
shell and this correctly writes to the secure db also.

start -n com.android.settings/.ProxySelector . This pops up a window
asking ip and port for proxy.

But android browser doesn't seem to be using this setting. Looks like
it is fetching it from somewhere else. If i set proxy using the wifi-
>advanced. android browser starts using proxy configured. Mine is a
Samsung 2.2 version phone and i believe this proxy option in advanced
section is given by manufacturer and doesn't guarantee that this will
be there in every phone.

Even in System.settings(http://developer.android.com/reference/android/
provider/Settings.System.html) i couldn't find a constant for proxy
other than system.secure.http_proxy.

So what exactly does this proxy setting in advanced section do that my
android browser starts using proxy? Where does it save this info?

Is there a way i can find out which db it is writing or there is an
API to set proxy for android browser.

thanks in advance.

kris

[android-developers] Proxy Authetication support in Android

[ankur jhavery]

I am using my phone in a college network which provides internet
behind a http proxy server. I have looked all around but I've found
everywhere that android doesn't supports http access behind a proxy
server.
Please help me if there is a way to use internet on android phone
behind a proxy server.

[android-developers] Proxy streaming in Stagefright does not work on some devices

[Hari KJ]

Hi All,

I'm working on a mp3 streaming app and have used the NPR's StreamProxy
class. For some devices which have sdk 8 (like EVO on Sprint) the
native mediaplayer streaming of mp3 sounds really really bad. The same
code works perfectly fine on HTC Incredible and all samsung devices.
Evo seems to have some problem when using the native mediaplayer to
directly stream the mp3 audio.

When I tried to force proxy the stagefright player on my device (HTC
Incredible) works perfectly fine but the EVO bails out. I have also
overridden the http headers and appended "/r /n" to the header values,
as I had read in some of the other blogs.

What should I do to overcome this and force a proxy? Or how do I fix
the bad mediaplayer playback in devices like EVO?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Hari

Re: [android-developers] Proxy again

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Neo,

Please see this:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.Secure.html

Secure system settings, containing system preferences that 
*applications can read but are not allowed to write*. These are for 
preferences that the user must explicitly modify through the system UI 
or specialized APIs for those values, not modified directly by 
applications.


WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS is defined with 
android:protectionLevel="signatureOrSystem" and thus cannot be obtained 
by regular SDK applications.

[android-developers] Proxy development (in source)

[Ashok Jeevan]

Hi,
I am trying to build a proxy for Android in the source and I need to set the
proxy option under 'Settings'.

After researching in the internet, I found out that there is a 'settings.db'
file in /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/ path,
into which values are inserted into the table named 'system'. This works for
the emulator (either by starting the emulator at runtime with parameters or
by adb shell).

Question is, will the same approach as mentioned above, incorporated into a
class file and built into source, be suitable for setting the proxy?

If at all, this method is feasible, will the browsers and the other apps
which use internet, be able to detect the proxy?

Thanks in advance, for any help and suggestions.

P.S. I will be flashing the code to a dev phone.

Thanks,
AJ

[android-developers] Proxy Authentication Issue

[melodykrit]

Dear,

 I've recently tried to connect to the WIFI Internet at my
university, but the web browser got stuck with HTTP proxy
authentication.  When I opened the browser, it just showed 'WEBPAGE
not Available.   I know that I have to put http proxy name in WFI
setting,but i can't find it.

Thus, I guess Android OS doesn't support Proxy Authentication
(HTTP), does it?   I really want to know a solution to this issue
since I saw  iPhone has the HTTP proxy blank block that you can fill
in the HTTP Proxy name.


Please help me
Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Proxy related code changes needed in Apps

[praj]

Hi,

We recently came to know that a lot of Mobile Carries in Asia/India
have proxy enabled to get Internet access via mobile. It turns out our
App does not work when the phone has internet via proxy setup (APN).

Does the APP need to handle proxy individually? and if so, can you
please tell me what code changes are needed or if you can please point
me to a doc that would be great. Prompt reply would be highly
appreciated

Thanks,
Prajakta

[android-developers] Proxy SDK 1.5r1

Hi all,

With this SDK version I can use my emulator using a proxy server.
There is three solutions:
- add values in system table
- configure -http-proxy in eclipse run menu
- configure APN on emulator to set the proxy

When I use Android browser, it's really slow but it's working...If I
try to to a post from my application, I take an ANR and some minutes
later a socket time out.

Somebody knows the solution?

Map view. I have to go via proxy only.
Is there any way to provide proxy setting to Map view.

If i go without proxy then it is working fine, but i have to use proxy
connection.
Kindly help me in this regard.

[android-developers] proxy

[Raja Nagendra Kumar]

Hi,

I have set the proxy using the commands

adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db "INSERT INTO system
VALUES(99,'http_proxy','192.168.0.88:8118');"
sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db "SELECT * FROM system"


With this emulator browser works fine. However my application is not
able to connect. I am using apache commons api.

org.apache.commons.httpclient.DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler;
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpStatus;
org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpMethodParams;

For these api to work through proxy do I need to have special
parameters to let net connection happen!!

Pl. help..
