I'm assuming you can have a machine somewhere on your network. You'd
then setup a transparent proxy in a configuration like the following:

Android client device
        |
      Wifi (lan)
        |
     OpenWRT (lan) -> mitm proxy ->
        |                         |
     OpenWRT (wan) <---------------
        |
    Internet

See this for a basic recipe:
