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
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" />
If you are using the web browser, refer to Donal's post
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!
android emulator's wifi says connected no internet
have you tried this?
your_path_of_android_sdk\tools\emulator -avd -dns-server 8.8.8.8
Internet stopped working on Android Emulator (Mac OS)
In Mac OS go to:
System Preferences -> Network -> select Wi-Fi os left panel -> Advanced on right panel -> DNS -> add new DNS server; for example 8.8.8.8
and 8.8.4.4
(Google Public DNS) or 1.1.1.1
and 1.0.0.1
(Cloudflare and APNIC DNS) or another public DNS provider. Then restart the emulator so the changes take effect.

Another option is to pass dns-server params when start Android emulator.
According with this solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/51858653/3328566, I changed the emulator executable name and I created a bash script to load the AVD with param -dns-server 8.8.8.8
.
In your Android SDK default folder /Users/[MY_USER_ACCOUNT]/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator
- Rename the binary
emulator
toemulator_original
- Create a bash script named
emulator
that contains:
#!/bin/bash
/Users/[MY_USER_ACCOUNT]/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator_original -dns-server 8.8.8.8 $@
- Change the script permissions with
chmod +x emulator
Now, you can start AVD from Android Studio normally
In this case, you don't need to set DNS server in System Preferences. You are setting the DNS server only for the emulator, avoiding other problems
No internet connection for Visual Studio Android Emulator
It looks like Android is unable to acquire an IP address from DHCP.
In Hyper-V Manager
(virtmgmt.msc
), select the VM for the emulator profile you are trying to start and go to its Settings...
(right click for context menu or see action pane on right side).
Under Hardware
, make sure there are two virtual switches:
Emulator Internal Network Adapter
Emulator External Network Adapter
Emulator External Network Adapter
must be listed as the second adapter -- the order matters. If they are ordered incorrectly, delete the External adapter and recreate it, giving it the same settings it had before. You can create it by clicking Add Hardware
in the VM's hardware list.
