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: - -<img src="android-shellwgetmitmproxyca.png"/> - - -## 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": - -<img src="android-settingssecuritymenu.png"/> - -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"/> - |
