Using ADB

Posted by David Van Loon on February 20, 2025

Getting Started

To configure an HTTP proxy in BlueStacks App Player on Windows, for example to use Fiddler or a similar tool to inspect and debug HTTP traffic, use the ADB interface for BlueStacks.

First, launch BlueStacks App Player.

Open Windows Terminal and navigate to the C:\Program Files\BlueStacks_nxt directory.

Confirm that the app player is visible by running .\HD-Adb.exe devices. You should see the emulator device attached.

Configure the Proxy

Use the following command to configure the HTTP proxy, replacing the IP address and port number as appropriate to your setup:

.\HD-Adb.exe shell settings put global http_proxy 192.168.1.1:1234

You may need to restart the app player for the setting to take effect.

Remove the Proxy Configuration

Run the following commands to remove the proxy configuration:

.\HD-Adb.exe shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_host
.\HD-Adb.exe shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_port
.\HD-Adb.exe shell settings delete global http_proxy

You may need to restart the app player for the setting to take effect.
