Capture Android Emulator traffic using Fiddler

Question

I've been trying to capture the network traffic populated from the browser and an app hosted inside the Android emulator, using Fiddler.

I've been unsuccessful even after following the workarounds of adding proxy to the emulator (Settings - More - Cellular Networks - Access Point Names - adding the system IP and port).

Answer 1

You should enter this ip-address: 10.0.2.2 as a Proxy-address. You should use it cause of Android emulator haven't direct access to your local network and can't connect to local computer. But Android Emulator has a virtual router, so you can connect to your computer by address 10.0.2.2. You can read more here

-OR-

You can use Visual Studio Android Emulator. There's using Hyper-V virtual network adapter that can connect directly to your local network

Answer 2

The point is you should switch air-plane mode on-off once after fill this settings in Cellular network setting / Access point Names with this settings:

1. Set your system IP in -> Proxy
2. Set fiddler port number (8888 is default) in -> Port
3. Clear Username and Password field.
4. Save and exit.
5. Turn-on airplane mode and then turn it off.

Now your data will capturing by Fiddler.
