One way to set this is by "HostResolverRules" experimental option.

Sample usage : https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/components/cronet/android/test/javatests/src/org/chromium/net/ExperimentalOptionsTest.java

2. Cronet will respect system wide proxy settings but we don't currently provide an API to change proxies on per-request or per-engine basis (https://crbug.com/418111).

3. Cronet doesn't support setting timeouts for requests individually. You can find some details why it's the case in code comments and this mail thread. You can implement your own timeout logic on top of Cronet, cancelling the UrlRequest if it's not completed in a timely fashion.

"Cronet will respect system wide proxy settings"

Do you mean the user configurable proxy settings in the Android's Settings app? or something else...

[Dan Stahr]

Yes, that's what I was referring to.
