Add a way to access http requests in app

⚠️ Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I am developing an Android TV app and use Chucker to view requests. Because TV doesn’t have split screen, we have to fully switch activities for view the list.

💡 Describe the solution you’d like

There are a few possible solutions for this:

• A view provided for use in app
• Expose the TransactionListFragment for use in app
• Expose a livedata/flow of HttpTransactionTuple from RepositoryProvider

📄 Additional context

A key use case for us would be on our video player fragments. We use ExoPlayer with OkHttp (same instance used for rest of app). We sometimes need to verify headers, params, etc for playback. Currently, we have a button on the remote launch the Chucker activity, but it would be much nicer to have inline.

🙋 Do you want to develop this feature yourself?

• Yes
• No Absolutely, wanted to get some feedback on the best way(s) to implement this

Random idea I just had, what about exposing a FragmentDialog?

Maybe I’m biased on this, but exposing a FragmentDialog feels like opening the pandora box to me. Like once we offer a non structured way to access the data, someone will necessarily ask for a more powerful API to do some filtering or querying of that data.

So to me having a FragmentDialog would solve your specific scenario, but it’s not really a general purpose solution (at least from my point of view).

Sounds good! Thanks!
