Answer 1

Finally i got what i want and here is the result :

There is no UI for proxy settings for android web browser. But the android web browser will read the proxy settings in its settings database. Here is the instructions to enable the proxy in the android web browser.

1. adb shell
2. sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. sqlite> INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,'http_proxy', 'proxy:port');
4. sqlite>.exit
