Question: Is it possible to make a setup example for android kotlin with network plugin?

[twboc]

I recently implemented flipper for ios react-native app debugging. So far I can see my network requests coming from a iPhone simulator.

Unfortunately I have not been so successful with android kotlin version. I managed to connect flipper and get logs and crashes through adb but the network plugin is not working.

It is added as part of dependencies and I initialise so the app compiles. Unfortunately I cannot see any requests. Tried different solutions but with no luck.

The error I am getting is similar to the one reported here -> Flipper requests not showing - flipper issues

This is also complicated with the fact that I am using OkHttp.

Although I have put everything in place (in my opinion) and the code complies the requests are not showing.

QUESTION: Is it possible for anyone to create a react-native example using kotlin like the one in here. Android Java Example react-native app

I asume this would be beneficial for other developers in the future.

Hey @twboc ,

This worked for me

AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:name="com.facebook.flipper.android.diagnostics.FlipperDiagnosticActivity" android:exported="true"/>

MainApplication.kt import update

import com.facebook.flipper.android.AndroidFlipperClient
import com.facebook.flipper.android.utils.FlipperUtils
import com.facebook.flipper.core.FlipperClient
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.inspector.DescriptorMapping
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.inspector.InspectorFlipperPlugin
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.NetworkFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.FlipperOkhttpInterceptor;
import com.facebook.react.modules.network.NetworkingModule
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient.Builder

Update to MainApplication.kt onCreate method

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    SoLoader.init(this, false)
    if (BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED) {
      load()
    }
    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG && FlipperUtils.shouldEnableFlipper(this)) {

      val client = AndroidFlipperClient.getInstance(this)
      client.addPlugin(InspectorFlipperPlugin(this, DescriptorMapping.withDefaults()))
//      client.addPlugin(networkFlipperPlugin)
      val networkFlipperPlugin: NetworkFlipperPlugin = NetworkFlipperPlugin()
      NetworkingModule.setCustomClientBuilder(
        object : NetworkingModule.CustomClientBuilder {
          override fun apply(builder: Builder) {
            builder.addNetworkInterceptor(FlipperOkhttpInterceptor(networkFlipperPlugin))
          }
        })
      client.addPlugin(networkFlipperPlugin)
      client.start()
    }
  }

Hope this helps
