Answer 1

Please find the working code,

PROXY_SERVER set to a valid proxy server and port for http I am using is 8080

proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(PROXY_SERVER, PROXY_PORT));

And when you establish the connection pass the proxy as an argument.

urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) ((new URL(URI).openConnection(proxy)));
