How to connect android emulator to the internet

Question

How can I connect my Android emulator to the internet, e.g. to use the browser? I\'ve found lots of advice on what do to when your connected through a proxy, but that\'s not

Answer 1

There are different solutions to this problem . One of these , i will show you on my experiment and outcomes seen on results using a recent android studio and AVD images downloaded 2017.

1. First thing you have to do is launch your AVD from android studio.(in my case i choose NEXUSAPI25 android 7.1 image)

2. Goto Settings->Wirless and Networking - > Cellular Network - > Access Points -> (+) press add - > enter the following if you dont have NTLM proxy or proxy at all (that means you are directly connected)

   a. add apn name as myAPN b. add apn server => www c. save and try browsing the internet.

if this doesn work add 'ANDROID_SDK_ROOT' in you environment variable

Then , launch AVD using emulator command as follow

emulator -avd Nexus25 -dns-server 8.8.8.8

3. For those who use NTLM proxies , i will show you how it work for me next.

4. add your Android_sdk_root path into your environment variable. THis make command line code read succesfully like using AVD names and so on.

5. Launch your emaulator using the following command

>emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_25 -http-proxy http://username:password@ipaddress:port
