Android Request Inspector WebView

Inspect and intercept full HTTP requests (including all headers, cookies and body) sent from Android WebViews.

This project is inspired by android-post-webview and request_data_webviewclient and draws some code from both projects.

Installation

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file:

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.acsbendi:Android-Request-Inspector-WebView:1.0.3'
}

Get the latest version on JitPack

Usage

To log the requests (default functionality):

    val webView = WebView(this)
    webView.webViewClient = RequestInspectorWebViewClient(webView)

To manually process requests:

    val webView = WebView(this)
    webView.webViewClient = object : RequestInspectorWebViewClient(webView) {
        override fun shouldInterceptRequest(
            view: WebView,
            webViewRequest: WebViewRequest
        ): WebResourceResponse? {
            TODO("handle request manually based on data from webViewRequest and return custom response")
            return super.shouldInterceptRequest(view, webViewRequest)
        }
    }

Caveats

Detailed data (e.g. request body) is not available for requests sent from iframes as it's not possible to execute JavaScript code in iframes in Android WebViews.
