Thanks a lot!

Hi.
I am working on the simple Android Basic Map application.
However, after running the BasicMap application, only the Blank screen without any map show on my Android emulator.
Would you please tell me how to active the Map application under the network with proxy and require Auth username and password?

Thanks a lot!

Hi.

plusminus

Thanks for you reply.
I've already tried this method many times, but it did not work for my system.
I use Windows XP SP2 and the firewall was closed and only one connection enabled.
The only thing is my proxy server need authentication.
In the Eclipse, I use the same proxy server and it works. But in android emulator, it never works.
Please help! Thanks a lot

Hello gaojinxuan,

the last thing that I could find is from the GoogleGroups:

You can launch your emulator through a software that would direct all the application traffic through a proxy
i would suggest sockcap32 in case u have a sock4/5 proxy or proxifier or proxychain if u have a http proxy like squid

Download sockcap32 : http://www.onlinedown.com/detail/4894.htm

Never been using that program, nothing I can tell about it or how to use it

Hey Adrian thats a bad news ....
but i guess its not all that bad ....there is one last option i can
think of but it'll be bit slow ...
but u'll have internet access on ur emulator...but don't try maps on
its coz it wud give u speeds of around 10kBps

get HTTPTunnel ( http://www.http-tunnel.com/html/ ) ....
install it and set it to use your proxy server
it's establish a tunnel over http(something that'll never be blocked)
it'll run a socks proxy on port 1080 by default ...
so make proxifier use this proxy (localhost:1080)
and make sure HTTPTunnel is excluded from proxifier...or else it'll
get stuck in a loop
best option proxify only ur emulator


this should probably help...
in case it doesn't IM me i'm online till 2 in the night Indian
Standard Time

I got the proxifier tool and HttpTunnel tool. Follow his suggestion, I made it finally.
One important information is that my proxy server can not support https connection. And even the speed is quite slow. My Android emulator can connect to the internet. Great!
Thanks.

is that possible to download a piece of map to local system and use it in the further in case of offline.

Hello tp.hrbeu,

hm, I don't know how long the AndroidOS caches the Map-Data downloaded... As the required data after browsing the maps for some minutes would be pretty large, I think they are just cached but not saved.

Hii,plusminus

How to locate the statue of liberty exactly(Point(x,y) in the your source code )

I want to locate another place .How to define a position ? can you show me ??

Thanks

Hello inter,

you want GPS-Locations of other places

I do it this way:
http://maps.google.com/
There you'll see a link in the right, just above the map, named "Link to this page".
Everytime you pan the map it gets updated. You'll find the Lat/Lng within it.

Hi Plusminus,

I wrote a small application which needs to connection with internet.
In my office we use http proxy.

we set up the http proxy in emulator in this way:

-First started android emulator
- opened the adb shell from tools directory
- then entered the command
sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system
VALUES(99,'http_proxy','HOST:PORT');"

-where HOST: HOST server address
and port is for us it was 80

and then
- Re started the emulator
- enter this command to see http proxy was properly configured
sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "SELECT * FROM system"

and we got the result like this:
1|music_volume|3
2|voice_volume|3
3|ringer_volume|3
4|dim_screen|0
5|stay_on_while_plugged_in|1
6|screen_off_timeout|30000
7|font_scale|1.0
8|debug_app|
9|wait_for_debugger|1
10|show_processes|1
99|http_proxy|wwwproxy:80

- After that we opened the android emulator and select Browser
- It opened the web brower with google.com
-But when i entered some search string for eg: java
- i got ERROR:

Network Error
----------------
Failed to Connect server

This is the problem. Can anyone help me

Thanks in advance

regards,
Jyothi
