How to install Charles certificate on Android mobile?

How do I use Charles proxy in Chrome?

The instructions that I've read on the interweb are for using Charles proxy in Firefox.

I don't understand how it works and I need to use it in Chrome. Can someone please explain how to use it? Also, I cannot seem to get an image to load when I navigate to certain websites using ajax.

I'm not much of an expert when it comes to computers. I know what to do, just can't figure out how to set this up. All the instructions I've seen were for Firefox, which is very frustrating.

There are multiple ways to use Charles Proxy for Chrome. Charles Proxy uses a proxy server running on the local machine, on which you install the Charles Proxy tools and then connect to it from the browser. Use the chrome-extension (which also installs Charles Proxy): Download the Charles Proxy binary as an app from here: Use command line to run Charles proxy. First download the Charles Proxy binary from here and unzip the file./charles-proxy --host-ip=192.168.30.6
--host-address=0.0 --port=8880. --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x8664; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0"
--no-reload. --no-https. --auth-file=/etc/charlesproxy/authorizedkeys. --data-dir=/var/cache/charles.

Does Charles proxy work on Android?

Hi.

This might be answered somewhere already, but I have no clue where to look.

Here's my setup: I have installed Charles Proxy on my Android device (T-mobile G1). When I type in Charles url in the browser it seems that Charles is not getting redirected but Charles logs tells me otherwise (here).

Now question: am I doing something wrong? Do I need to configure some files etc? Do I have to add my hostname to the proxy list before installing the proxy on the Android phone. If so, what URL do I add? Or is the only thing I have to configure after installing the Proxy is to enable the proxy from within my network provider app? Please give answer if anyone knows - thanks :-) As a long term Android developer I can only answer that if the phone runs on Gingerbread or earlier versions of Android then you might want to take another approach that works for those phones as you may not get an update to Ice Cream Sandwich unless it is made available for your phone model and/or network provider. If you are able to upgrade then please let us know. The following assumes you do have an "Android Market" enabled device. To access the market go to find your phone's OS and version, hit "Downloads", and then hit on the application that you want. You might also want to read this link which talks about how to configure you phone so you can download the desired "Market" application from the Android store directly:
Another alternative to running any software not approved in the "Market" is to use the "Android SDK" installed with your phone's SDK installation tools. The SDK installation tools have a "Tools" folder that will allow you to run programs from that folder on your computer that are either installed in that folder or installed "externally". You could download the SDK here and look in the directory /android-sdk-windows/samples/. There are lots of sample applications there that might be helpful.

If you have been paying attention to the latest version of android.com you might notice the new "Android 2.3" page and even "Android 3.0" page has changed.
