Android: Making your Android emulator work through a proxy

Well, lets face it. Most of the android developers work in firms with stringent IT policies which include accessing the internet through proxies. I had a harrowing time trying to get internet access on my emulator. Here's a solution that worked for me. Hope it will help others facing the same issue:


In your Emulator go to:

1. Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.
2. You will find an APN called as "TelKila". Click on it.
3. Add your proxy server and port there.

In your Eclipse go to:

1. Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Launch
2. Add the following command in "Default emulator options"

  -http-proxy -debug-proxy http:// < server >:< port >


3. If you have a username and a password then you can add:

    -http-proxy -debug-proxy http:// < username >:< password >@ < server >:< port >


Now you can browse the internet on the emulator browser!

Hope this helps!
