Android Application Internet Access Behind Proxy

Question

I have an android application(Android 2.2) accessing internet behind proxy.

I have tried setting an APN with proxy host & port and it works fine in emulator browser. But the application fails to connect to internet.

I have also tried command line option of -http-proxy, it doesn't work.

Can somebody help me with it?

set Permission for your APP to access the Internet on your Manifest File.like..

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Answer 3

String myProxy=Proxy.getDefaultHost() ;
        int myPort=Proxy.getDefaultPort();
        HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(myProxy,myPort,"http");
        client.getParams().setParameter (ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, proxy); 

try giving this within your java file. before that change your proxy settings in emulator!
