Answer 1

In eclipse go to DDMS

under DDMS select Emulator Control ,which contains Telephony Status in telephony status contain data -->select Home , this will enable your internet connection ,if you want disable internet connection for Emulator then --->select None

(Note: This will enable internet connections only if you PC/laptop on which you are running your eclipse have active internet connections.)

Answer 2

Within the Android emulator, turning Airplane Mode on, then off again worked for me.

Answer 3

If you're on MacOS with 2.2 and you keep seeing an error about data connectivity, try the above, it works.

• I removed all the network interfaces via Sys Prefs except LAN
• Even thought my DNS is provided by DHCP, I retyped DNS with just one server
• I used -http-proxy on the command line to specify one

It starts working at the office. Phew.

Answer 5

In my case I just had to launch the Android virtual device (AVD) from the "Android SDK and AVD Manager", and it was working

Answer 6

I also experienced the same problem. The simplest solution I found out is:

• Go to your Android\Sdk\emulator folder and open command prompt.
• Type emulator -list-avds to see available emulator names.
• Type emulator -avd name-of-your-device -netdelay none -netspeed full -dns-server 8.8.8.8 command and press enter.
