Proxy which requires authentication with Android Emulator
I Managed to do it in the Adndroid 2.2 Emulator.
Go to "Settings" -> "Wireless & Networks" -> "Mobile Networks" -> "Access Point Names" -> "Telkila"
Over there set the proxy host name in the property "Proxy"and the Proxy port in the property "Port"
It seems like SDK 1.5 onwards, the -http-proxy
flag also doesn't work. What did work for me is to boot the android image in the emulator and then once Android is running, go to Home > Menu > Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
and then setup the http proxy settings for the default access point.
With the APN proxy settings in place, I can get the emulator's browser to surf the web. However, other stuff like Maps still doesn't work.
I remember having the same problem - After searching on the web, I found this solution - From the command line,
1. > adb shell2. # sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db3. sqlite> INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,’http_proxy', 'proxy:port');4. sqlite>.exit
