if you have USB internet like me the emulator seems to dislike connection being turned on and off so you may need to restart the emulator

Also  make sure that your device isn t on airplane mode and or that data usage is enabled

If you see this intermittently on wifi or LAN  but your mobile internet connection seems ok  it is most likely your ISP s cheap gateway router is experiencing high traffic load   You should trap these errors and display a reminder to the user to close any other apps using the network   Test by running a couple of HD youtube videos on your desktop to reproduce  or just go to a busy Starbucks

Restarting the emulator works in some scenario

May you have taken permission  lt uses-permission android name  quot android permission INTERNET quot    gt   lt uses-permission android name  quot android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE quot    gt   BUT You may have forgot to TURN ON Internet in Mobile or Whatever Device

My bet is that you forgot to give your app the permission to use the internet  Try adding this to your android manifest    lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET    gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE    gt

I got the same error and for the issue was that I was on VPN and I didn t realize that  After disconnecting the VPN and reconnecting the wifi resolved it

Are you able to reach that url from within the built-in browser   If not  it means that your network setup is not correct  If you are in the emulator  you may have a look at the networking section of the docs   If you are on OS X  the emulator is using  the first  interface  en0 even if you are on wireless  en1   as en0 without a cable is still marked as up  You can issue ifconfig en0 down and restart the emulator  I think I have read about similar behavior on Windows   If you are on Wifi 3G  call your network provider for the correct DNS settings
