After wrestling with this for several days and following quite a few wrong suggestions, I found a solution that not only made a little sense, more importantly it actually worked, assuming this problem is occurring on a wireless connection.
Here's the source of this solution: http://blog.creativeworkline.com/2010/03/android-emulator-cannot-resolve-dns.html Bottom line: The emulator apparently uses the same DNS settings used by the LAN card, which probably isn't going work if you're on a wireless connection. Simply disable your LAN connection in Internet Connections and suddenly everything's groovy. Should've occurred to me when I noticed it worked fine on the company network but not at all on wireless. Hope this helps. -Vaughn On Apr 4, 9:37 pm, Gabriel Simões <gsim...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > Right now my app needs to use the device´s (emulator´s) internet > connection.
