http-relayer

A simple Http call visual debugger. Display a small dialog on the bottom right of your app screen with an ongoing Http call's status code, message, time taken, and endpoint you are calling.

How it Works

http-relayer is a Jitpack artifact. Add jitpack url to your repositories and the library to your dependencies:

  //project build.gradle
  repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
   }
   
   // app build.gradle
   dependencies {
         implementation 'com.github.Pfuster12:http-relayer:1.0.0'
   }

As a debug tool, the dialog has an option to remain null and not appear. To get a nullable dialog object you must pass the context and a boolean flag whether the dialog should appear or not. The isRelayerOn flag defaults to false. Finally call .create() to create the dialog and listener.

val relayer = HttpRelayer.with(context=this, isRelayerOn=true)?.create()

Once created you can trigger the dialog to appear by triggering its callback listener in your network calls. For example using okhttp:

val client = OkHttpClient()
val request: Request = Request.Builder()
    .url(TEST_URL)
    .build()
    
val relayReq = HttpRelayerRequest(TEST_URL)

relayer?.listener?.onInterceptRequest(relayReq)

client.newCall(request).enqueue(object : Callback {
    override fun onFailure(call: Call, e: IOException) {
        val handler = Handler(context.mainLooper)
        handler.post {
            relayer?.listener?.onInterceptResponse(
                HttpRelayerResponse(
                    relayReq,
                    400,
                    e.message))
        }
    }

    override fun onResponse(call: Call, response: Response) {
        val handler = Handler(context.mainLooper)
        handler.post {
            callback.invoke(response.body?.string() ?: "")
            relayer?.listener?.onInterceptResponse(
                HttpRelayerResponse(
                    relayReq,
                    response.code,
                    response.message
                )
            )
        }
    }
})

In order to make the dialog expandable and see more information about the Http call such as time taken and endpoint call the setVerbose() method on the dialog object before triggering the listener callbacks:

val relayer = HttpRelayer.with(context=this, isRelayerOn=true)?.create()
relayer?.setVerbose()
