Android emulator not able to access the internet

Question

I know that similar questions have been asked before  but my problem is new only after installing Android Studio 2 3  the latest version in March 2017   I have several years experience developing Android applications  and I have never encountered this problem before   After upgrading to version 2 3 of Android Studio  my emulator is no longer able to access the internet   I even uninstalled reinstalled Android Studio 2 3 from scratch and created a new emulator  and I am still getting the same error   This is not an app problem   I can t even access the internet from Chrome  and I wasn t having this problem last week   The message that I get says that the server DNS address could not be found -- DNS PROBE FINISHED BAD CONFIG   The only thing that has changed on my computer in the last week is the new version of Android plus possibly updates to Windows 10   And yes  my computer has access to the internet   Below is an image of my emulator when I try to use Chrome to search for  Google

After trying many of these solutions  I was going to just delete my current AVD and make it again  but when I clicked the down arrow on the AVD  I noticed  Cold Boot Now      On a whim I tried that   Lo and behold my emulator has internet connectivity again   EDIT   Ok  for those saying why not just wipe data and restart   Do you reformat your PC every time you restart it   Wiping data on the emulator is just like doing a factory reset to a phone or reformatting your hard drive on your PC and reinstalling your OS   It is unnecessary unless the data is totally corrupt     When you shut off the emulator and restart it  it is like putting your PC in hibernate or sleep mode   Memory is not wiped  it is saved    Doing a cold boot is the same as rebooting your phone or rebooting your PC   It resets memory and lets things reload  This allows the network emulation to start with clean memory and connect properly    So  don t wipe your data  Just cold boot  If it still doesn t work  then wipe  but save that as a last resort

Pro tips  using AVD with dnsmasq on Linux  To understand you to read Set up Android Emulator networking from Android Studio   The loopback of the emulated device is 127 0 0 1 and the host loopback can be accessed from the emulated device from 10 0 2 2   At startup  the emulated device set its DNS nameserver by picking those from the host in  etc resolv conf   But the point is  if you are using dnsmasq  you setnameserver 127 0 0 1in etc resolv conf  so the emulated device will hit it s own loopback where nothing is running instead of the host loopback where there is a DNS server running   To solve that  add -dns-server when running AVD from the CLI   For example    Cloudflare DNS    Android Sdk emulator emulator -avd Nexus 9 API 23 -dns-server 1 1 1 1 Host s dnsmasq    Android Sdk emulator emulator -avd Nexus 9 API 23 -dns-server 1 0 2 2

This was a problem for me last time the emulator updated itself and back then disabling other network adapters fixed it  Now it s cropped up again but the only adapter that is enabled is a single wifi one so I have nothing to disable    The issue only reappeared after I updated via a prompt the emulator tools to 26 1 1  I uninstalled and reinstalled the emulator via the SDK Tools update tab and thankfully the only option when installing again right now is to install 26 0 3  which seems to be working okay    Moral of the story is to be very wary of emulator updates

I found a temporary solution on an old Stack Overflow thread at Upgraded to SDK 2 3 - now no emulators have connectivity   Note that this thread talks about Android SDK 2 3  not Android Studio 2 3   The problem seems to be that the emulator can t find the DNS my computer is currently using  and the temporary workaround is to start the emulator from the command line and specify the DNS server   Whatever problem occurred back then must have reappeared in the latest version of Android Studio   The temporary solution outlined below fixes the problem with the emulator accessing the internet   However  it does not fix the problem that occurs when trying to run Android Device Monitor   Doing so will still make the emulator go offline as described above   Note that there are two files named  emulator exe  in the sdk -- one under sdk tools and another under sdk emulator   Either might work below  but I use the one under sdk emulator   The first step is to find where the SDK is located   Assuming a user name of  jdoe  and a default installation of Android Studio on Windows  the SDK is most likely in   C  Users jdoe AppData Local Android sdk   The second step is to determine the name of the AVD  emulator  that you want to run   The command   C  Users jdoe AppData Local Android sdk emulator emulator exe -list-avds   will show the names of your AVDs   On my computer  it shows only one  Nexus 5X API 25   To start the emulator from the command line with a specified DNS server  use something like the following   C  Users jdoe AppData Local Android sdk emulator emulator exe -avd Nexus 5X API 25 -dns-server 8 8 8 8   In this case  8 8 8 8 is a Google public domain name server   The above commands can be shortened if you create appropriate environment variables and edit your PATH environment variable  but I recommend caution when doing so
