I tried after removing http in the server name and it worked for me.

emulator -avd myavd -http-proxy 168.192.1.2:3300

This will not help for the browser, but you can also define a proxy in your code to use with a HTTP client:

// proxy
private static final String PROXY = "123.123.123.123";
// proxy host
private static final HttpHost PROXY_HOST = new HttpHost(PROXY, 8080);
HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
httpClient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, PROXY_HOST);

---

On Android Studio:

Click on Edit Configuration under App Menu

Go to App or Android App (as default settings) tap on Debugger Tap on LLDB startup command Tap + Add you command -http-proxy http://168.192.1.2:3300

that`s it.

More cool stuff if you wanna use your PC IP, use this command:

-http-proxy "$(ipconfig getifaddr en0)":8888 on MacOS

-http-proxy "$(hostname -i)":8888 on Linux

====== UPDATE 23.2.2022 ======

Currently I'm using these commands for enable/disable proxy:

adb shell settings put global http_proxy 127.0.0.1 :8889

or dynamically taking my pc as host

adb shell settings put global http_proxy $(ipconfig getifaddr en0) :8889

To disable that proxy use:

adb shell settings put global http_proxy :0

---

I had no luck until I tried setting the environment variable http_proxy

http://developer.android.com/tools/help/emulator.html

"If the -http-proxy command is not supplied, the emulator looks up the http_proxy environment variable and automatically uses any value matching the format described above."

For setting proxy server we need to set APNS setting. To do this:

Go to Setting Go to wireless and networks Go to mobile networks Go to access point names. Use menu to add new apns Set Proxy = localhost Set Port = port that you are using to make proxy server, in my case it is 8989 For setting Name and apn here is the link: According to your sim card you can see the table

---

Easiest way is to delete default APN from emulator(in my case its T- mobile) and create new APN with your proxy settings.

Note: i have tried all command line options and also tried setting the proxy for emulators default APN but nothing worked.

---

Install Proxifier in your host computer. Setup proxifier to use your proxy. You don't need to do anything else. You will be fine. Proxifier traps the calls from the system (including the android emulator) and route it through the configured proxy.

---

For some leanback (TV) emulators you can use cmd:

adb shell settings put global http_proxy 10.0.2.2:8888

8888 - is a port of proxy on a local machine (host), so on a local machine the http proxy will be 127.0.0.1:8888

To remove proxy (run sequentially in cmd line):

adb shell settings delete global http_proxy

adb shell settings put global global_http_proxy_host ""

adb shell settings put global global_http_proxy_port ""

nothin of that worked i am using eclipse on windows 64-bit: do the folllowing steps... it worked for me: Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Launch -> Default Emulator Options -http-proxy="http://10.1.8.30:8080"

in your eclipse window

---

Sometime even after setting all it may not work. I have tried all the methods like

Setting the proxy in Emulator APN Setting it thru eclipse preferences --> Android --> Launch

Nothing worked. Then I did the following which worked instantly.

Goto eclipse Run --> run configurations. Under Android Applications you can see you application. Now, on the right hand side click on the Target tab. Under the 'Additional Emulator Command line options' add the following.

-dns-server -http-proxy http://:

The catch here is that the DNS Server setting should be from your local system. Goto cmd prompt and run ipconfig to check your DNS servers. Same with the proxy server and port. Whatever works for your browser should be put in here.

Depending on which environment you are using to run the emulator, check the logs to see how the emulator is started. Mine is started as:

C:\Users\johan\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_5X_API_23

Then you add the -http-proxy option, in my case:

C:\Users\johan\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_5X_API_23 -http-proxy 192.168.0.22:8888

---

In case if you are under proxy environment and internet is not running in your emulator, then please don't change any setting in emulator. Go to your eclipse project, right click , click on "Run as" then click on "Run Configuration". In pop up window choose "Target" and scroll down a little, you will find "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" Enter your proxy setting here in "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" as i entered

-http-proxy http://ee11s040:Om1l2ng3d4n2!08@hproxy.iitm.ac.in:3128

Then start a new Emulator.

the best way to set corporate proxy with ntlm authentication is to use cntlm:

http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/

Install and configure in C:\Program Files\Cntlm\cntlm.ini By default cntlm, listens to 127.0.0.1:3128

In android device set a new APN with proxy host 10.0.2.2 and port 3128 10.0.2.2 is a special alias to your host loopback interface (127.0.0.1 on your development machine)

see also http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#emulatornetworking

Are you sure that your address is 168.192.1.2 and not 192.168.1.2?

Notice the swapped first two numbers.

---

In console start the next command:

emulator -avd emulator_name -http-proxy you_proxy_ip_address:8080

---

Having the AVD android emulator:

Open the simulator ( "..\android-sdk\AVD Manager.exe") Go to Tools Go to Options On Proxy settings:

On the first field(HTTP Proxy Server) set only the IP address where is your proxy (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) on the second field set the port of your proxy (example: 8080)

Then, click Close on the window and start the emulator

---- Added ... Then the alex steps works on my case:

Click on Menu
Click on Settings
Click on Wireless & Networks
Go to Mobile Networks
Go to Access Point Names
Here you will Telkila Internet (or other name), click on it.
In the Edit access point section, input the "proxy" and "port"

---

You can set the proxy in your app. This can be done using Settings class. For example you can add following line to your "onCreate" method.

 Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.HTTP_PROXY, "myproxy:8080"); 

To change the proxy settings you have to have the android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

---

For 2022 you can use adb command like below:

adb shell settings put global http_proxy "your_PC_IP:PORT_YOU_LISTEN"

and you can disable your proxy with command below:

adb shell settings put global http_proxy :0
