I have a network problem with my Android Emulator when I'm in my company office.

My DNS server and my proxy server is the same machine : 192.168.4.3

I launch my emulator with the following command to display network debug messages and to configure proxy and DNS servers :

Code: Select all

emulator -debug-proxy -debug-slirp -avd AVD_1.6_SDcard_64M -dns-server 192.168.4.3 -http-proxy http://192.168.4.3:3128

And I get the following messages in console when I try to connect to http://www.google.com from the web browser :

Code: Select all

### WARNING: can't resolve DNS server name '192.168.4.3'
### WARNING: will use system default DNS server
emulator: DNS Servers:

http_service_connect: using HTTP rewriter
tcp:209.85.229.105:80(1488): cannot connect to proxy: <unknown error>

Althought there are "###WARNING" messages about the DNS at the beginning, DNS resolution works because http://www.google.com was replaced by its IP address 209.85.229.105.


I also try to enter http_proxy inside the database but it does not work...

Code: Select all

adb shell

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,'http_proxy','192.168.4.3:3128');

Does anyone know how to solve this network problem ?
I want to solve it, not only for the web browser, but for all applications because I will develop applications that need to access network.

Thanks for you help !

Solution herein :

Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile networks > Access Point Name

Create a new APN with parameter :
Proxy : 192.168.4.3
Port : 3128

No need to make a database insertion or use command line options when launching the emulator.

hi,
try using :

Code: Select all

$ emulator -avd MY_EMULATOR -http-proxy http://10.255.11.11:8080 -verbose -wipe-data

Replace the emulator name 'MY_EMULATOR' and the proxy value with values applicable to you.
This works for me on my Mac machine...i.e., I can access the internet from the emulator's browser.
However, the same setting on my windows setup, does not give me internet access on the emulator.
