Hello Android People !
I spent a few days on this kind of problems, so here is my feedback.
duykham : your tip (setting proxy in APN) works... for the browser app
only.
Once you have done this configuration, you need to write specific code
in your apps to handle a http proxy.
If you use java.net.* components, then you shoud set the default
ProxySelector in a static way :
final String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost();
final int proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort();
ProxySelector.setDefault(new ProxySelector() {
@Override
public void connectFailed(URI uri, SocketAddress sa,
IOException
ioe) {
}
@Override
public List<Proxy> select(URI uri) {
ArrayList<Proxy> l = new ArrayList<Proxy>();
SocketAddress sa = new
InetSocketAddress(proxyHost, proxyPort);
l.add(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, sa));
return l;
}
});
By the way, maybe you shouldn't use getDefaultHost/Post but rather
getHost/Port(Context) .
If you use a http client, then here is the solution :
final String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost();
final int proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort();
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, proxyPort);
client.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY,
proxy);
So, this is quite cool... and works on a per httpclient instance basis
HOWEVER
Google Maps still doesn't work. The reason is that the components that
download all the stuff for Google Maps uses their own HttpClients. And
we don't have any reference to this client, to be able to tweak them.
IT SEEMS THAT GOOGLE MAPS COMPONENTS WERE NOT INTENDED TO WORK WITH
HTTP PROXIES.
I even tried to use the debugger and conditional breakpoints to inject
a new HttpProxy in DefaultHttpRoutePlanner.determineRoute (line 104).
But the debugger wouldn't allow any HttpHost instanciation, and says
UnsupportedOperationException. I can edit strings, but not create new
objects. Sad.
If you have any clue, you are welcome to answer. And if someone find
this mail in the archives some days and have a solution, please email
me ;-) .
I have read somewhere that a solution could be to disable anything
related to proxies on Android, but rather use a Windows (or Linux)
local software that would redirect all requests getting outside to the
real proxy. I have no idea of how I could do this. Any idea ?
Cheers,
Piwaï
