ProxyController

@AnyThread
public abstract class ProxyController

Manages setting and clearing a process-specific override for the Android system-wide proxy settings that govern network requests made by android.webkit.WebView.

WebView may make network requests in order to fetch content that is not otherwise read from the file system or provided directly by application code. In this case by default the system-wide Android network proxy settings are used to redirect requests to appropriate proxy servers.

In the rare case that it is necessary for an application to explicitly specify its proxy configuration, this API may be used to explicitly specify the proxy rules that govern WebView initiated network requests.

Example usage: 

ProxyConfig proxyConfig = new ProxyConfig.Builder().addProxyRule("myproxy.com")
                                                   .addBypassRule("www.excluded.*")
                                                   .build();
Executor executor = ...
Runnable listener = ...
ProxyController.getInstance().setProxyOverride(proxyConfig, executor, listener);
...
ProxyController.getInstance().clearProxyOverride(executor, listener);

Summary

Public methods

clearProxyOverride

Added in 1.1.0
public abstract void clearProxyOverride(@NonNull Executor executor, @NonNull Runnable listener)

Clears the proxy settings. Network connections are not guaranteed to immediately use the new proxy setting; wait for the listener before loading a page. This listener will be called in the provided executor.

Parameters
@NonNull Executor executor

Executor for the listener to be executed in
@NonNull Runnable listener

Listener called when the proxy setting change has been applied

getInstance

Added in 1.1.0
@RequiresFeature(name = WebViewFeature.PROXY_OVERRIDE, enforcement = "androidx.webkit.WebViewFeature#isFeatureSupported")
public static @NonNull ProxyController getInstance()

Returns the ProxyController instance.

Throws
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

if the PROXY_OVERRIDE feature is not supported. This should be checked before use with isFeatureSupported.

setProxyOverride

Added in 1.1.0
public abstract void setProxyOverride(
 @NonNull ProxyConfig proxyConfig,
 @NonNull Executor executor,
 @NonNull Runnable listener
)

Sets ProxyConfig which will be used by all WebViews in the app. URLs that match patterns in the bypass list will not be directed to any proxy. Instead, the request will be made directly to the origin specified by the URL. Network connections are not guaranteed to immediately use the new proxy setting; wait for the listener before loading a page. This listener will be called in the provided executor.

Note: calling setProxyOverride will cause any existing system wide setting to be ignored.

Parameters
@NonNull ProxyConfig proxyConfig

Proxy config to be applied
@NonNull Executor executor

Executor for the listener to be executed in
@NonNull Runnable listener

Listener called when the proxy setting change has been applied
