Hi,

Silly question but why doesn’t google “fix” Android to support proxies via the GUI (connection properies)? I’m amazed that this is missing.

There is a much easier way of doing this.

With in the emulator GUI you can go Menu > Settings > Wireless
Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and create a new Access Point which connects to your proxy server. Taken me several hours to locate this but it seems to have worked a dream )

This fix doesn’t seem to be working anymore. Maybe something changes with the 1.5 release?

1. Connect to the emulator using the “adb shell” command (From “tools” folder of SDK)
adb shell
enter this..
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite> INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,’http_proxy’,':’);

2. Use the below command to check if the value is inserted
sqlite> SELECT * FROM system;

3. Restart the emulator and check for the browser to work.

4. An alternate if this doesnt work is, Go to Run -> Run Configurations ->Target in eclipse and enter
-http-proxy : in Additional emulator command line options.

I am using WebView.enablePlatformNotifications() this line in my OnCreate()
of my application but still not working. Is anybody tried this API and working? If so please suggest me how to use.

Hi, the reason that Browser works and Maps doesn’t is that Browser calls an API in WebView called ‘enablePlatformNotifications’ – this API will cause a listener to be setup which will eventually set the proxy for the current request queue.

If you were to write your own Activity and use WebView, all you would need to do would be to call WebView.enablePlatformNotifications() … you could rebuild Maps from source and add that line in the Activity onCreate method…
