How to set Internet options for Android emulator

Question

I ve been using this method to gain access to internet from my Android emulator emulator -http-proxy  lt  lt proxy-name gt  gt  -avd  lt  lt avd name gt  gt   It works but is that the best way to do it  It just doesn t feel right that I need to open the emulator from command line and can t just do it from Eclipse or something   Can t seem to find an internet option on the  AVD Manager  either

By default  you should be able to toggle the Internet access to your emulator with F8  on Windows  and Fn   F8  on Mac OS X  - I think F8 also works for Linux  but I m not 100  sure   With this shortcut  you get the ACTION BACKGROUND DATA SETTING CHANGED  dispatched   Hope that helps

On a slightly different note  I had to make a virtual device without GSM Modem Support so that the internet on my emulator would work

I ve seen various suggestions how code can find out whether it runs on the emulator  but none are quite satisfactory  or  future-proof   For the time being I ve settled on reading the device ID  which is all zeros for the emulator   TelephonyManager telmgr    TelephonyManager  getSystemService Context TELEPHONY SERVICE   boolean isEmulator    000000000000000  equals telmgr getDeviceId      But on a deployed app that requires the READ PHONE STATE permission

You could also try explicitly specifying DNS server settings  this worked for me   In Eclipse   Window Preferences Android Launch  Default emulator options  -dns-server 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 4

delete the existing one and recreate the emulator  The machine windows mac  should have internet access and android emulator gets internet access by default

User · Answer

It was setting the DNS that did the trick for me  If you are using the Eclipse or Netbeans plugins  you can set it through Default Emulator options  or Emulator Options respectively  You can also use set it from the command line if you start your emulator from CLI  In all cases  the option is  -dns-server x x x x x x x x  without the quotes  There is no option in the ADB gui to permanently associate the option with your virtual device
