The following code disables SSL certificate checking for any new instances of HttpsUrlConnection

Ignore certificate for HttpURLConnection in Android.java

    /**
     * Disables the SSL certificate checking for new instances of {@link HttpsURLConnection} This has been created to
     * aid testing on a local box, not for use on production.
     */
    private static void disableSSLCertificateChecking() {
        TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {
            public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                return null;
            }

            @Override
            public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException {
                // Not implemented
            }

            @Override
            public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException {
                // Not implemented
            }
        } };

        try {
            SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

            sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());

            HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
        } catch (KeyManagementException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Great, thanks!

Where to copy paste this code??

If you're here for NativeScript. You'll need to turn it into a Class, with the correct imports, then put the file in App_Resources/Android/src/main/

I have forked this Gist and ported it to be used in NativeScript. Better instructions are there.
