I have wasted a whole day trying out different solutions floating around in SO and other place mentioned to enable wifi on the android emulator but to no avail. Can anybody help me figure out how do I enable inte.net on my android emulator?
I have Nexus 5X API 27 and target being Android 8.1 (Google Play) and Nexus 5 API P and target being Android 7.1.1.
I believe there should be a way to enable inte.net on it or else the whole point of providing virtual wifi on the emulator seems to be waste.
I am on mac OS HS 10.13.4 directly connected to my router with no proxy.
I even tried deleting all the AVDs, re-installing them. I even tried having installed the latest Pixel 2 with Oreo Android 8.1
Nothing seems to be working. Has anybody faced this issue and found a solution?
Any help would be of great help
Thanks, Vikram
Update: When I connect my computer through my phone as hotspot wifi, the emulator has inte.net through wifi, but it fails when I connect my computer to my home router.
Stated below are the solutions for Windows and Mac, but similar solutions will work on any OS:
On Windows
Set the Preferred and Alternate DNS servers as (Screenshot below) :
8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
On Mac
Delete whatever entries you have there and add these two entries (Screenshot below):
8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Note: For Mac users, if the entries field is disabled and you're not able to edit it, click on the 'Lock' icon in the bottom area of that window and enter the password to be able to make changes
Restart the emulator, and it should solve:

Edit: This is the fix for a situation when the emulator's wifi has changed the DNS to some non-working DNS. While this works most of the time, there might also be other reasons which may not fix from this solution.
My solution using Mac OSX 10.13
I read about it being caused by LAN card and WiFi being enabled, and some approaches seemed complicated to me, so I simply tried this, and it worked:
It seems the previous answers to this problem no longer work in 2021 (Using Android Studio 4.1.2). The problem is the DNS settings on the Emulator. It no longer works to just change the DNS Servers on your local PC. You have to change the DNS settings within the Emulator. The following steps are for an emulator running Android 11. Other versions will be similar:
This fixed it for me after I unsuccessfully tried all the other solutions found on this page and many others. I hope it works for you.
@TheBaj : I figured the problem with this and fixed it. The problem is when you are connected through the router, the androidwifi in your emulator uses the settings and the sets the DNS to something other than 8.8.8.8 which is the google DNS(I presume this is kinda mandatory setting for the androidwifi to gain internet access). But if i change the DNS in my network settings, the google-services plugin which fetches your dependencies especially the one's getting downloaded from jcenter()
will not be downloaded and hence your sync will fail which eventually fails your build.
So the trick is that you have your google DNS(8.8.8.8) configured in your network settings after your default router settings - this part takes care of downloading the dependencies from jcenter()
and the sync and build succeeds.
Now launch your emulator with emulator @Nexus_5X_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
command from the terminal which forces the emulator to use 8.8.8.8 as its DNS and the emulator will have internet.
I am working on a react-native app, so for me android studio is needless and i have configured my bashrc to launch the different emulators as follows,
function emunex5 {
emulator @Nexus_5X_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
}
function emunex6 {
emulator @Nexus_6_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
}
function emupix {
emulator @Pixel_XL_API_27 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
}
So from one terminal i launch the emulator of my choice and then run the build on another terminal which runs my app on the launched emulator and MY FREAKING EMULATOR HAS INTERNET ACCESS. :)
Try this out and i hope this helps.
Thanks, Vikram
On macOS:
Solution for Windows:
emulator -avd Nexus_4_API_29 -gpu host -dns-server 8.8.8.8
. Here Nexus_4_API_29
will be your emulator device name (You can find it out devices list from Android Studio -> AVD Manager). This command will run your specified device and WIFI will have Internet connected.Hope this helps.
On Mac OSX (Catalina for me), the problem is caused by the fact that the emulator automatically picks up the nameserver by looking at /etc/resolv.conf and picking the first one, in my case an IPv6 address. Source: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-networking#dns
Simply edit the file (sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf) and move the IPv4 address (192.168.1.1 in my case) to be first, before the IPv6 addresses. Seriously, that was it.

100% Working on Windows 10
Android AVD come with Google DSN configured inside emulators. So we need to set same to network sharing for accessing same.
Google Public DNS IP addresses The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
The Google Public DNS IPv6 addresses are as follows:
2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844 You can use either address as your primary or secondary DNS server.
Here I show for setting v4 IP steps
Note : If VPN is enabled then it will not work need to disconnect your VPN
My environment is Android Studio 4.2.0 in Mac 11.3.1 Big Sur
Step 0. I close all of my emulator, and close Android Studio too .
Step 1. Then I open Android Studio. AVD Manager -> Cold Boot Now
Step 2. Close Wifi on emulator. Then LTE can work
Step 3. (Optional) By the way, My DNS setting of my mac Network is
If step0 -> step 1 -> step 2 is not work, you can set DNS like step 3. and then go through Step0 -> Step1 -> Step2 again.
And it will work.
Maybe this would help someone. I tried all the solutions above. Changing DNS, cold booting, etc. After several hours of trial and error, I went to the official docs, which said that the emulator picks up the DNS config. of host machine at emulator's boot time. I had VMWare installed on my machine, which installs a few network adapters. So, I just changed the DNS config. of all the adapters (including VMWare adapters), and cold booted my emulator. OMG, the problem which didn't seem to go away for hours, just got right!
Now, what I find odd is, I switched back the DNS config. of all the adapters to auto, and cold booted my emulator again. The WiFi still works just fine. OS: Windows 10.
If you have any VPN connected - try disconnecting it.
For me it was VPN through Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
. Once I've closed the Cisco client (which terminates the VPN connection), WiFi on Android emulator started working.
我希望我能减轻别人的痛苦,我在这里尝试了大家所说的一切,更改了每个网络适配器的 DNS,重新安装了所有东西,SDK,模拟器,甚至 android studio,没有任何效果,如果你发现自己处于同样的位置检查您是否安装了 VMware,如果安装了,请不要打扰 DNS,只需进入控制面板->网络和共享中心->更改适配器设置,然后禁用任何和所有 VMware 网络适配器,然后冷启动,即可解决问题立即,您甚至可以稍后启用它们,它仍然有效
On Windows :
After testing some solutions, I found my one by clicking the down arrow on the AVD, option "Cold Boot Now". after booting, Android had access to internet so it worked for me.
What worked for me:
A simple cold boot worked for me, no need to start other emulators or wiping memory.
Just close your emulator and select the "Cold Boot Now" option on the drop menu adjacent to the play button. If not look for any of the more comprehensive options listed here, but I suggest always starting with the simplest solution.
Good luck!
Solution for issue on Apple M1 :
Here is the link for the android studio releases list: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
(Worked for me)
如果 wifi 点发生了变化,只需重新启动模拟器,让模拟器从 dhcp 服务刷新网络设置。
在 Android 模拟器上重置网络设置可解决此问题。
For new searcher users: Sometimes VPN is your solution Changing of network setting is not possible always because of networking issues. If you are in ip addresses that google does not responding for these regions,your solution is using of vpn.Use a proper vpn (a vpn that trough it you could update your android studio).When your vpn is on start your avd device (ofcourse api level of your emulator is important for example I have not any problem with api 22 but for api 28 is need using of vpn !).This was my experience about android emulator internet.
Change the location of the emulator and set it to your current location.
Steps : -
I had the same issue - in the emulator I was connected to the wifi/lte but I couldn't access any website.
The solution for me was to fix the IP of my home DNS server:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
search home
nameserver 192.168.1.1 #was 192.168.0.1 - it used to work when I was connected to a different router
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1
you don't really need to use google dns
If anyone quick fix:
Step 1: Go to AVD Manager
Step 2: Stop the device
Step 3: Run Android Studio project
Under Extended Controls ( which can be enabled by pressing the more button (3 dots ... ) at bottom.
Then under Proxy tab, Select no proxy.
Maybe try using LAN if available. That works as a charm for me...
I had a similar problem that was kind of weird. The emulator used to work just fine but then I went to a cafe and connected to their wifi then the emulator wifi stopped working. I wiped the data made cold boot from the AVD manager then everything worked without any change in settings. I guess cold boot only would have worked without wiping data so you might try that before wiping the data.
On Android Studio 4.2, I was experience this issue where both Emulator Wifi/LTE was connected but no internet.
Solutions that did NOT work for me: Turning Wifi on and off, setting location/proxy, cold booting, wiping data, VPN, etc. None of the other solutions were working.
Solution that worked for me: Upgrading to Android Studio 4.2.1 and rebooting emulator.
This may not solve everyone's problem but I disconnected my wifi and used the Ethernet connection. This resolved my issue.
None of this worked for me then I turned on "Mobile HotSpot" on windows. It exists on Taskbar next to "Airplane Mode". Everything started working.
I tried all the above in WINDOWS 11 system without results. Finally i ran the check disk - chkdsk c: /f /r - and after PC restart i recreated the device. And it's finally worked.
尝试禁用您的防病毒软件,然后重新启动对我有帮助的模拟器。
只需重新启动 android studio 即可解决问题。
My situation is I have internet connection in browser but not in Google map/Google play store. So I try to disable my VPN. Then it solve this issue and my emulator network is active
There are 2 ways to fix this bug.
I tried all of these solutions with no results. I am using Windows 10 OS
What finally worked for me was:
1. Closing all instances of AVD devices
2. Navigating to:
C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
3. Then entering the following command:
.\emulator.exe -avd avd_device_name -dns-server 8.8.8.8
After doing these steps make sure you don't have any VPN software active .
Open Network and Sharing Center
Right Click on current internet connection
Select Properties
Double Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Select Use the following DNS server address
Set the Preferred and Alternate DNS server
Prefered DNS Server : 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS Server : 8.8.4.4
Click on OK
Restart Android AVD
