How to Set Internet Options for Android Emulator

How to connect android emulator to the internet

I think some of the answers may have addressed this, however obliquely, but here's what worked for me.

Assuming your problem is occurring when you're on a wireless network and you have a LAN card installed, the issue is that the emulator tries to obtain its DNS settings from that LAN card. Not a problem when you're connected via that LAN, but utterly useless if you're on a wireless connection. I noticed this when I was on my laptop.


So, how to fix? Simple: Disable your LAN card. Really. Just go to your Network connections, find your LAN card, right click it and choose disable. Now try your emulator. If you're like me, it suddenly ... works!

Not able to activate internet on android emulator...?

I solved this issue myself. Posting what I have tried so that it helps others

I have proxy setting as below :

IP : 10.1.2.23
Password : admin123

1) Run :

If you are starting android emulator from command line then try below command :

emulator.exe -avd MyAVD -no-audio -http-proxy http://puser1:admin123@10.1.2.23:8080 -dns-server 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

If you are starting android emulator from eclipse then make sure you have added below setting :

Window --> Preferences --> Android --> Launch --> Default Emumator Options : -dns-server 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

Run --> Run Configurations --> Android Application Name --> Under Target Tab Select Emumator --> Additional Emumator Command Line Options : -no-audio -http-proxy http://puser1:admin123@10.1.2.23:8080

2) Add Proxy Setting in android Emumator :

Setting --> Wireless networks --> Celluler Network / Mobile Network --> Access Points Names --> Edit Default One (In my case --> T-Mobile US,epc.tmobile.com) and add proxy setting with username and password. 

Don't forget to save setting.

Do not change or enter any others settings.

3) If Still Internet is not active then try to turn on / off mobile internet 2 to 3 times.

4) If still Internet is not active then try to turn on / off Airplane Mode 2 / 3 times keeping mobile internet on.

Android Studio - Android Emulator Wifi Connected with No Internet

@TheBaj : I figured the problem with this and fixed it. The problem is when you are connected through the router, the androidwifi in your emulator uses the settings and the sets the DNS to something other than 8.8.8.8 which is the google DNS(I presume this is kinda mandatory setting for the androidwifi to gain internet access). But if i change the DNS in my network settings, the google-services plugin which fetches your dependencies especially the one's getting downloaded from jcenter() will not be downloaded and hence your sync will fail which eventually fails your build.

So the trick is that you have your google DNS(8.8.8.8) configured in your network settings after your default router settings - this part takes care of downloading the dependencies from jcenter() and the sync and build succeeds.

Now launch your emulator with emulator @Nexus_5X_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8 command from the terminal which forces the emulator to use 8.8.8.8 as its DNS and the emulator will have internet.

I am working on a react-native app, so for me android studio is needless and i have configured my bashrc to launch the different emulators as follows,

   function emunex5 {
    emulator @Nexus_5X_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
 }

  function emunex6 {
    emulator @Nexus_6_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
  }

  function emupix {
    emulator @Pixel_XL_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
   }

So from one terminal i launch the emulator of my choice and then run the build on another terminal which runs my app on the launched emulator and MY FREAKING EMULATOR HAS INTERNET ACCESS. :)

Try this out and i hope this helps.

Thanks,
Vikram

Android: how to set Wifi settings to access Internet connection in Android simulator?

The emulator should connect by default to the internet. A 3G icon should be present in the notification bar.

Restart the emulator a couple of times until appears. At least that how works for me on a Windows. Don't forget to add permission to use the Internet in your manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

No internet on Android emulator - why and how to fix?

If by "use internet", you mean you can not access the internet from an activity while testing on the emulator, make sure you have set the internet permission in your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
