Seems like you have the basic localhost:8118 proxy support in already. Let's talk about what further tuning might be needed.

GLDroid only does HTTP requests through android HttpClient.
Is proxy enough to protect network traffic? Do we need something else/more?

There is risk of DNS leakage with HTTP, so using a properly configured SOCKS proxy with remote DNS resolution can handle that.

In addition, if the traffic is going to exit Tor, then it will need to be tested with HTTPS.

I think we should either only allow GLDroid to run over Tor or perform a check to see if OrBot is installed and if it isn't display a big fat disclaimer warning the user of the possible issues of not using Tor.
He should agree to this disclaimer and possibly display it every time until he installs OrBot.
