How to intercept network calls in android and ios apps?

By -

I have a chrome extension that works on a specific website by intercepting its network calls (xhr calls) performing some background processing and autofills the form for them and saves its users time.

Doing it on a chrome extension is pretty easy as we have XMLHttpRequest https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest

The website that my extension works has also launched a mobile app, and a lot of customers have migrated to the app instead of the desktop site.

I am interested in building an android/ios app that could do the same things.

  • Intercept the network calls made by the app.
  • And overlay the information on the that app.

I have tried to look into android/ios development docs for approaching this but couldn't get anything concrete. I believe my usecase is similar to what a VPN app does and I also know that drawing over other apps is also possible in mobile.

Just want to get some of input from mobile developers how can I go about building this, my primary background is in web and I am still quite new to mobile frameworks So, any pointers/documentations/suggestions would be appreciated.

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....

Hibernate Search - Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation

By -
Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation Elasticsearch ships with many features. It is possible that at some point, one feature you need will not be exposed by the Search DSL. To work around such limitations, Hibernate Search provides ways to: Transform the HTTP request sent to Elasticsearch for search queries. Read the raw JSON of the HTTP response received from Elasticsearch for search queries. Direct changes to the HTTP request may conflict with Hibernate Search features and be supported differently by different versions of Elasticsearch. Similarly, the content of the HTTP response may change depending on the version of Elasticsearch, depending on which Hibernate Search features are used, and even depending on how Hibernate Search features are implemented. Thus, features relying on direct access to HTTP requests or responses cannot be guaranteed to continue to work when upgrading Hibernate Search, even for micro upgrades (x.y.z to x.y.(z+1)). Use this at your own risk....
