WatchTower - Observe OKHttp API Calls With Request And Response Details Right In Your Browser!

Download

Add the dependencies to your project:

implementation 'com.snakyapps.watchtower:core:1.0.0'
debugImplementation 'com.snakyapps.watchtower:interceptor-okhttp:1.0.0'
releaseImplementation 'com.snakyapps.watchtower:interceptor-okhttp-no-op:1.0.0' // no-op dependency for non-debug build variants

Setup

Add the interceptor to your OKHttp Client

        val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
                        .client(
                            OkHttpClient.Builder()
                            .addInterceptor(WatchTowerInterceptor())
                            .build()
                        )
                        // ...
                .build()

        WatchTower.start(WebWatchTowerObserver(port = 8085)) // in Application class

Note: you should call watchTower.shutDown() whenever your application/activity is terminating, which shuts down WatchTower-related services. If you're using it on Android, It's best to start and shut down the WatchTower inside an Android service (using onCreate and onDestroy of an Android Service)

Features

Response success and failure status, size, date and latency

Observing the events using your browser Connect the device that is running the app to the same network that you want to observe the data. If you are on a WiFi, both devices should be connected to the same WiFi so they can communicate with each other. After running your application, you can navigate to http://yourip:8085/ and view the network calls. If you don't know what yourip is, It will be printed out to the console with the message of WatchTower started, listening on ... when Watchtower.start() is called.
