There is many ways to do that but one of them is fiddler

Fiddler Configuration

Go to options
In HTTPS tab, enable Capture HTTPS Connects and Decrypt HTTPS traffic
In Connections tab, enable Allow remote computers to connect
Restart fiddler

Android Configuration

Connect to same network
Modify network settings
Add proxy for connection with your PC's IP address ( or hostname ) and default fiddler's port ( 8888 / you can change that in settings )

Now you can see full log from your device in fiddler

Also you can find a full instruction here
