I want to to use the browser inside the Android emulator, and I want to use the proxy settings on my machine. How can I set this up?

Reading the very good Android manuals, they tell me that I should start Android using the following command:

emulator -avd myavd -http-proxy http://168.192.1.2:3300

But I am still not able to use the emulator browser. Please note that I am using the IP address for my proxy server.

What am I doing wrong?

  3. Tap on LLDB startup command
  4. Tap +
  5. Add you command -http-proxy http://168.192.1.2:3300

enter image description here

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

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

  1. Go to Setting

  2. Go to wireless and networks

  3. Go to mobile networks

  4. 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:

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 ""

In console start the next command:

emulator -avd emulator_name -http-proxy you_proxy_ip_address:8080

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
