Chuckx is a simple in-app HTTP inspector that depends on Androidx for Android OkHttp clients. Chuckx intercepts and persists all HTTP requests and responses inside your application, and provides a UI for inspecting their content.
As you can see, this repository is forked from jgilfelt/chuck, which is a great library and helped me a lot, but the original repository seems to have stopped being maintained, so I migrated it to Androidx, and continue to maintain it.
Apps using Chuckx will display a notification showing a summary of ongoing HTTP activity. Tapping on the notification launches the full Chuckx UI. Apps can optionally suppress the notification, and launch the Chuckx UI directly from within their own interface. HTTP interactions and their contents can be exported via a share intent.
The main Chuckx activity is launched in its own task, allowing it to be displayed alongside the host app UI using Android 7.x multi-window support.
Chuckx requires Android 5+ (minSdkVersion = 21) and OkHttp 3.x.
Warning: The data generated and stored when using this interceptor may contain sensitive information such as Authorization or Cookie headers, and the contents of request and response bodies. It is intended for use during development, and not in release builds or other production deployments.
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}Add the dependency
dependencies {
releaseImplementation 'com.github.Dkaishu.chuckx:library-no-op:v2.1.0'
debugImplementation 'com.github.Dkaishu.chuckx:library:v2.1.0'
}In your application code, create an instance of ChuckInterceptor (you'll need to provide it with a Context, because Android) and add it as an interceptor when building your OkHttp client:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.addInterceptor(new ChuckInterceptor(context))
.build();That's it! Chuckx will now record all HTTP interactions made by your OkHttp client. You can optionally disable the notification by calling showNotification(false) on the interceptor instance, and launch the Chuck UI directly within your app with the intent from Chuck.getLaunchIntent().
- Why are some of my request headers missing?
- Why are retries and redirects not being captured discretely?
- Why are my encoded request/response bodies not appearing as plain text?
Please refer to this section of the OkHttp wiki. You can choose to use Chuck as either an application or network interceptor, depending on your requirements.
