Answer 1

Make sure to define this in your manifest file

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.android.app.myapp" >
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    ...
</manifest>

Answer 2

In my case i have an internet permission in AndroidManifest.xml, but anyway the internet did not work. The deal was in the dns server. It helped me:

1. Check environment emulator path and make sure it is like this:
MacOS:
~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator
Windows:
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator
2.Check your available emulators list:
emulator -list-avds
3.Run your available emulator with dns server set to 8.8.8.8:
emulator @{YourEmulator} -dns-server 8.8.8.8
And after you can get access to Google from your android emulator.
