I want to capture network data packets on android app. Do you have any suggestions or source code to help me understand if this is possible?
Debug Proxy Debug Proxy is another Wireshark alternative for Android that's a dedicated traffic sniffer. Just like Packet Capture, it can capture traffic, monitor all your HTTP and HTTPS traffic, decrypt SSL traffic using MITM technique and view live traffic.
To capture network traffic, you can use tcpdump. This is a packet sniffer that can observe and record network traffic on an interface. In the following example, we capture 1,000 packets using tcpdump. An easier way to analyze network traffic is to use an actual network traffic analyzer, such as Wireshark.
Using tPacketCapture is very easy, captured packet save into a PCAP file that can be easily analyzed by using a network protocol analyzer application such as Wireshark. You can route your android mobile traffic to PC and capture the traffic in the desktop using any network sniffing tool.
From the Android Studio navigation bar, select View > Tool Windows > App Inspection. After the app inspection window automatically connects to an app process, select Network Inspector from the tabs.
Without root you will have to use a pass-thru method.
