The solution was to start the emulator by using command line and passing the DNS: emulator -avd -dns-server. BTW, AND configure proxy as you said, inside Android.

Taskbar Not Working on Windows 10 [Fix] Liam-Dec 20.

Recently, while developing an Application, I was faced with a situation that wasted 2 hours of my time. The issue was simple, my app was not able to access internet from the Android Emulator. Initially I thought fixing the issue should have been straight forward, but life is not always that simple. So what was the real issue because of which my app was not able to access internet? There are multiple reasons because of which this issue could occur.

Hence, I decided to document my findings so that other could benefit from it. There are two main symptoms of no internet connection on android emulator. Basically, your app needs the Permission to access the internet. This can be done by adding the following line just before the end of tag in AndroidManifest.xml file of your application. A sample AndroidManifest.xml file with the added permission would look like Compile and re-install the app in the emulator and try to access the internet from your app. It should work! What is the use of uses-permissiontag: Android application can request certain permissions so that they can function properly.

Some examples of permissions are, get users location, make a call, access the internet etc. App has to explicitly specify this in the AndroidManifest.xml. When end users install such an app on their device, the android OS will notify the user that, app is requesting certain permissions. If users are fine with that, then only the app will be installed. Else users can deny the permission and the app will not be installed. Anonymous Hello Deep, Amateur again here.

I have tried almost everything. The google on my emulator works but app does not. I tried starting the emulator using google DNS and then installing app, tried my own DNS server IP.

I believe my DNS has port 53 while emulator defaults to port 55.My home network does not have a proxy. I tried all after shutting off WINDOWS firewall of my Vista OS on laptop, however no luck. I have wasted 2 days on this issue without getting on the real work:(. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

Hi Deep, I am also having the same problem that i am not getting internet on my emulator. I have tried it with the default browser and also with google maps. I am not behind a proxy. I am using a system with fedora 13 OS and am getting internet on my system.I am not running system with admin privilege. I was getting everything perfect and the connectivity suddenly failed one day. I think the issue may be due to DNS as you said.

How can i fix this issue.Is it through terminal.? Sincereley, Ashish.

I wasted my lot time to start internet in avd manager.But finally I used 'emulator.exe -avd AndroidMap -dns-server 8.8.8.8' command in 'Command Prompt' and start the internet and it was done.So great. Still, I have one problem, when I run application and start emulator in eclipse, while trying to use internet.I still get the error. I tried to solve it out by writing, '-avd Android -dns-server 8.8.8.8' and '-dns-server 8.8.8.8' in Eclipses in Window->Preferences->Android->Launch->'Default emulator Option' directory. I really have an emergency to solve out this problem. So, if you know where the problem is, then please provide me solution soon.

Thanks a lot in advance. Hi, I am developing a SIP protocol based Android application which is having calling features over VOIP. I am able to use internet connection when i run that application in emulator but when i run the same application in my samsung galaxy phone then its not able to access internet in it.

I have already put below line in my application's manifest.xml file But still i am facing issue in connecting internet from my phone. Note: I am already using SIP based other applications in my same phone, which is able to access internet and functionality also works fine, its just the issue with my developed application. Can you please suggest me a way to fix it out?
