I'm no expert, but it looks like you might be having trouble with the proxy rather than trouble setting a proxy from Android.
Can you use the proxy elsewhere, e.g. from a web browser? You say that setting the proxy worked until Android 1.6 -- can you use the proxy if you use an early SDK version? Here are some ways to use the emulator behind a proxy -- not sure which of these you've tried. 1. Set the default proxy from Windows > Preferences > Android > Launch. 2. Add '-http-proxy http://www.example.com:80' to Debug Configurations > Target (pane) > Additional Emulator Command Line Options (you need to resize the dialog to see this). 3. Set the proxy on the emulator from Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > T-Mobile US > ... For me, none of these works on its own -- though a colleague tells me that 2. works on his Mac. What works best for me in most contexts is to set the proxy on the emulator (as per 3.) and then use the following in my code: final String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost(); final int proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort(); // returns -1 if not set if (proxyPort != -1) { System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", proxyHost); System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", Integer.toString(proxyPort)); } With DefaultHttpClient, I do this: client = new DefaultHttpClient(); String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost(); int proxyPort = 0; proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort(); if (proxyPort > 0) // !!!hack: this means that a proxy has been set { HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, proxyPort); client.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, proxy); } else { Log.d("Proxy could not be set for port: ", Integer.toString(proxyPort)); } Sam Dutton On Feb 19, 12:37 pm, Vibhor Mahajan <mahajan.vib...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to configure http_proxy settings for Internet access from > Android emulator (behind a proxy).
