Chucker An HTTP inspector for Android & OkHTTP (like Charles but on device)

Chucker simplifies the inspection of HTTP(S) requests/responses fired by your Android App. Chucker works as an OkHttp Interceptor persisting all those events inside your application, and providing a UI for inspecting and sharing their content.

Apps using Chucker will display a notification showing a summary of ongoing HTTP activity. Tapping on the notification launches the full Chucker UI. Apps can optionally suppress the notification, and launch the Chucker UI directly from within their own interface.

Getting Started 👣

Chucker is distributed through Maven Central. To use it you need to add the following Gradle dependency to your build.gradle file of you android app module (NOT the root file).

Please note that you should add both the library and the the library-no-opvariant to isolate Chucker from release builds as follows:

dependencies {
  debugImplementation "com.github.chuckerteam.chucker:library:3.5.2"
  releaseImplementation "com.github.chuckerteam.chucker:library-no-op:3.5.2"
}

To start using Chucker, just plug it a new ChuckerInterceptor to your OkHttp Client Builder:

val client = OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .addInterceptor(ChuckerInterceptor(context))
                .build()

Enable Java 8 support.

android {
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }

  // For Kotlin projects add also this line
  kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}

That's it! 🎉 Chucker will now record all HTTP interactions made by your OkHttp client.

Historically, Chucker was distributed through JitPack. You can find older version of Chucker here: https://jitpack.io/#ChuckerTeam/chucker
