Answer 1

From Eclipse

To disable the Internet connection, go to Eclipse and do

menu Window -> Show view -> Other -> Android -> Devices

Now select your running emulator and again go to:

menu Window -> Show View -> Other -> Android -> Emulator Control

Now in that... set Data to Unregister from Home.

From Device and Emulator

On the device or in the emulator, go to:

Setting -> Wireless & networks -> Airplane Mode -> OK

Answer 3

Steps to disable Internet in the Android emulator:

1. First install the application into the emulator
2. Long press the power button of your emulator
3. Choose Airplane Mode

Now your emulator won't accept an Internet connection.

Note: Here after Airplan mode, you can't install and run your app in the emulator, so before putint it into Airplane mode, run your app in your emulator.

For changing to normal once again, long press emulator and choose the same option.

Answer 4

Try the below command

WIFI:
$ adb shell svc wifi enable
$ adb shell svc wifi disable
MOBILE DATA:
$ adb shell svc data enable
$ adb shell svc data disable

Answer 5

There are many methods. I am explaining two methods here.

1. Just hit the F8 key to enable or disable the Internet connection.
2. Just start your emulator, hold on the power button and then select:

Airplane mode Off

It will disconnect your emulator from the Internet. If you want to connect again, just hold on the power button again and select:

Airplane Mode ON

And your emulator's Internet connection will start working!
