com.android.tools.profiler.support.network.httpurl.HttpURLConnection seems to get used instead of java.net.HttpURLConnection (which I use in the code) when I'm profiling using Android Studio's profiler. What is it and where can I find the source code?
I'm targetting API 23 (both compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion) with minSdkVersion = 18.
Googling "android profiler httplurlconnection" leads me to this site:
Inspect network traffic with Network Profiler | Android Developers
The Network Profiler displays realtime network activity on a timeline, showing data sent and received, as well as the current number of connections. This lets you examine how and when your app transfers data, and optimize the underlying code appropriately.
...
Currently, the Network Profiler supports only the HttpURLConnection and OkHttp libraries for network connections.
So, this class replaces java.net.HttpURLConnection when the profiler is running such that it can intercept and analyse network traffic.
Android Studio is an open source project, see this SO question for links
