The proxy situation on Android is [an
|
|
embarrasment](http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1273). It's
|
|
scarcely credible, but Android didn't have a global proxy setting at all until
|
|
quite recently, and it's still not supported on many common Android versions.
|
|
In the meantime the app ecosystem has grown used to life without this basic
|
|
necessity, and many apps merrily ignore it even if it's there. This situation
|
|
is improving, but in many circumstances using [transparent
|
|
mode](@!urlTo("transparent.html")!@) is mandatory for testing Android apps.
|
|
|
|
We used an Asus Transformer Prime TF201 with Android 4.0.3 in the examples
|
|
below - your device may differ, but the broad process should be similar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting the certificate onto the device
|
|
|
|
First we need to get the __mitmproxy-ca-cert.cer__ file into the
|
|
__/sdcard__ folder on the device (/sdcard/Download on older devices). There are a number of ways to do
|
|
this. If you have the Android Developer Tools installed, you can use [__adb
|
|
push__](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html) to accomplish this.
|
|
Depending on your device, you could also transfer the file using external media
|
|
like an SD Card. In this example, we're using wget from within a terminal
|
|
emulator to transfer the certificate from a local HTTP server:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing the certificate
|
|
|
|
Once we have the certificate on the local disk, we need to import it into the
|
|
list of trusted CAs. Go to Settings -> Security -> Credential Storage,
|
|
and select "Install from storage":
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The certificate in /sdcard is automatically located and offered for
|
|
installation. Installing the cert will delete the download file from the local
|
|
disk:
|
|
|
|
<img src="android-settingssecurityinstallca.png"/>
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, you should see the certificate listed in the Trusted Credentials
|
|
store:
|
|
|
|
<img src="android-settingssecurityuserinstalledca.png"/>
