To set up a proxy server that handles Android requests for Mixpanel, you can follow these steps: 1. Set up a proxy server: The simplest way is to use Mixpanel's sample nginx configuration. You can find this configuration in their tracking-proxy GitHub repository. This config will redirect calls made to your proxy server to Mixpanel.2. Point the Android SDK to your proxy server: When initializing the Mixpanel instance in your Android app, you need to set the server URL to your proxy domain. Here's how you can do it: LBKSString serverURL = '<YOUR_PROXY_DOMAIN> '; // set the server URL to your proxy boolean trackAutomaticEvents = false;LBKS// create an instance of Mixpanel using your project token // with the configuration options above MixpanelAPI mixpanel = new MixpanelAPI( 'YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN', trackAutomaticEvents, serverURL );LBKS// initialize Mixpanel mixpanel.init();LBKSReplace <YOUR_PROXY_DOMAIN> with the domain of your proxy server.By following these steps, you can route events from Mixpanel's Android SDK through your proxy server. This approach can help reduce the likelihood of ad-blockers impacting your tracking.For more detailed information, you can refer to the Mixpanel Android SDK documentation.
