Hello, I also had the same problem and spent an entire day messing with configurations and sugestions found on Google. No luck at all. Until I found a solution that seemed ridiculous, but... it worked!
Start the Emulator normally (even from eclipse), and in the GUI go to: Settings >> Wireless & networks >> Mobile networks >> Access Point Names Edit the existing one (just click on it). Fill the fields for Proxy and Port with the DNS server you want to use. For example: Proxy: 194.79.69.129 Port: 3128 Save, and... voilá. Try it now. It can now resolve DNS names in your application on HTTP calls. Hope it helps.
