How to capture traffic from Android app?

I am trying to capture traffic on a page that I am developing and also from Android app, the app is using WebView and I tried using the package chrome but it just redirects to google, if I try to use an IP address then I cannot find it.

I tried the following packages. Org.chromium.android.wifi.NetworkMonitor#NetworkMonitor.Builder but it just shows up on my google tab as a blocked site.

Is there any way I can capture traffic. There is no API in Chrome for that kind of thing. It's not even possible to have an app access chrome network information because the communication between device and browser happens through an SSL channel. You need to communicate with a browser service.

What is the use of PCAPdroid?

For starters it's an open source Android app that was developed by the group of developers at the University of Cambridge.

The purpose of the application is to capture audio data that is played on the device through the use of microphone and to output that audio data to a file. In simple words PCAPdroid acts as a proxy between your phone or your tablet and your PC.

What can you do with PCAPdroid? It's basically like a remote recording software for mobile devices. You can access your recorded files on a PC in a manner similar to how you would have done it when recording on an external device.

You can do several things with it. You can make a backup of all your recording data without you having to do it manually. The reason is because, as mentioned before, this app comes bundled with an audio recorder that can automatically record from various applications on the phone, tablet or even a web browser on the desktop.

The reason why I think this app is really useful is because, once you get comfortable with it, it will become second nature to record every conversation you have without you having to take your phone with you. Imagine being able to send your messages to a PC through a virtual keyboard or a mouse click. I don't know about you but, I think that could be really useful!
