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 both an Asus Transformer Prime TF201 (Android 4.0.3) and a Nexus 4 -(Android 4.4.4) in the examples below - your device may differ, but the broad -process should be similar. On **emulated devices**, there are some [additional -quirks](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/issues/204#issuecomment-32837093) -to consider. - - -## Getting the certificate onto the device - -The easiest way to get the certificate to the device is to use [the web -app](@!urlTo("webapp.html")!@). In the rare cases where the web app doesn't -work, you will need to get the __mitmproxy-ca-cert.cer__ file into the -__/sdcard__ folder on the device (/sdcard/Download on older devices). This can -be accomplished in a number of ways: - -- If you have the Android Developer Tools installed, you can use [__adb -push__](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html). -- Using a file transfer program like wget (installed on the Android device) to -copy the file over. -- Transfer the file using external media like an SD Card. - -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. - - -## Installing the certificate - -You should now see something like this (you may have to explicitly name the -certificate): - -<img src="android-settingssecurityinstallca.png"/> - -Click OK, and you should then see the certificate listed in the Trusted -Credentials store: - -<img src="android-settingssecurityuserinstalledca.png"/> - |
