See if this little beastie will help you. It may be that you need this in the emulator image you are running.

Answer 2

You can set proxy in your code too.

   public void setProxy(DefaultHttpClient httpclient) {  
           final String PROXY_IP = "<insert your IP here>";  
            final int PROXY_PORT = <insert_PROXY_PORT#>;  

            httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(  
                    new AuthScope(PROXY_IP, PROXY_PORT),  
                    new UsernamePasswordCredentials(  
                            "username", "password"));  

           HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(PROXY_IP, PROXY_PORT);  

           httpclient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY,  
                   proxy);  


       }
