Android emulator not able to access the internet

Question

I know that similar questions have been asked before, but my problem is new only after installing Android Studio 2.3, the latest version in March 2017. I have several years experience developing Android applications, and I have never encountered this problem before. After upgrading to version 2.3 of Android Studio, my emulator is no longer able to access the internet. I even uninstalled/reinstalled Android Studio 2.3 from scratch and created a new emulator, and I am still getting the same error. This is not an app problem. I can't even access the internet from Chrome, and I wasn't having this problem last week. The message that I get says that the server DNS address could not be found -- DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG. The only thing that has changed on my computer in the last week is the new version of Android plus possibly updates to Windows 10. And yes, my computer has access to the internet. Below is an image of my emulator when I try to use Chrome to search for "Google".

I have discovered an additional issue with Android Studio 2.3 that is not related to internet access but could somehow be related to the one above. With Android Studio open to a project and an emulator running, I can run the app on the emulator just fine. But if I open Android Device Monitor, it tells me that the emulator is offline. Then, if I close Android Device Monitor and go back to Android Studio, it also tells me that the emulator is offline. I have to close and restart the emulator before Android Studio can find it again. This problem, like the one above, is repeatable. — John Moore, Mar 11 '17 at 14:12
Another update. I installed Android Studio 2.3 on another, older/slower Windows 10 computer, and the problem still occurs. Also, at one point I thought that the problem might be related to a bad Microsoft WPD patch, but the older computer did not have the patch installed. Plus, after several unsuccessful attempts, I was able to remove the bad patch from my main computer, and still no success in getting Chrome to work on an emulator. At this point I feel more certain that the problem lies with Android Studio 2.3. — John Moore, Mar 12 '17 at 21:01

1st try "Cold booting" the emulator as suggested here.
If cold booting doesn't work, try changing the DNS address of your network to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS) or another of your preference:

MacOSX:

Open "System Preferences"
Click on "Network"
Select the network which your computer is connected and click on "Advanced"
Select "DNS", Select the "+" button, type "8.8.8.8" (Google's DNS) or if you prefer OpenDNS, "208.67.222.222"
Select "Ok" and "Apply"

Windows & Linux:

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

After that close the emulator and start it again.

If you don't want your DNS traffic going through Google, use OpenDNS settings instead. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 – Justin Noel Oct 11 '18 at 16:58

You can also instead of "brute forcing" your whole computer to use a new DNS server (And then by defaults having your emulator inherit those changes) just change the DNS settings for the emulator... There are a bunch of ways to do it.

The problem is having partially invalid DNS settings in general. Reset them to something valid, and it'll work, doesn't have to be 8.8.8.8. My Mac was set up with 3 DNS servers, the first 2 of which were invalid. It still worked for other things since the third was ok, but I'm guessing the simulator only took the first two (it's common to only have primary and secondary) or is otherwise not as robust against this misconfiguration. – sudo Nov 27 '19 at 19:23

After trying many of these solutions, I was going to just delete my current AVD and make it again, but when I clicked the down arrow on the AVD, I noticed "Cold Boot Now".

On a whim I tried that. Lo and behold my emulator has internet connectivity again!

Command-line approach

In case you start Emulator through command, pass -no-snapshot-load option, like:

%ANDROID_HOME%/emulator/emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -no-snapshot-load -avd Pixel_2_API_28

Or for MacOSX:

$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -netdelay none -netspeed full -no-snapshot-load -avd Pixel_2_API_28

Note that you may need to change -avd Pixel_2_API_28 part (with your own Virtual-Device name).

Also, most tools use ANDROID_HOME environment-variable name, hence define that (if not already), but nowadays ANDROID_ROOT is yet another naming-option.

Decision ^(edit)

Ok, for those saying why not just wipe data and restart. Do you reformat your PC every time you restart it? Wiping data on the emulator is just like doing a factory reset to a phone or reformatting your hard drive on your PC and reinstalling your OS. It is unnecessary unless the data is totally corrupt.

When you shut off the emulator and restart it, it is like putting your PC in hibernate or sleep mode. Memory is not wiped, it is saved.

Doing a cold boot is the same as rebooting your phone or rebooting your PC. It resets memory and lets things reload. This allows the network emulation to start with clean memory and connect properly.

So, don't wipe your data. Just cold boot. If it still doesn't work, then wipe, but save that as a last resort.

The problems seems to be that the emulator is still somehow connected to the previous connection configuration, so when the emulator is start with Cold Boot Now the network config is restarted and everything start working again.

Do you wipe your phone every time you reboot? That's what a cold start is on the emulator, a cold reboot. It's the same as shutting off your phone and turning it back on. There is no need to wipe data from the emulator after a cold boot unless it still has issues. – Timothy Winters Jun 18 '19 at 12:56

I found a temporary solution on an old Stack Overflow thread at Upgraded to SDK 2.3 - now no emulators have connectivity. Note that this thread talks about Android SDK 2.3, not Android Studio 2.3. The problem seems to be that the emulator can't find the DNS my computer is currently using, and the temporary workaround is to start the emulator from the command line and specify the DNS server. Whatever problem occurred back then must have reappeared in the latest version of Android Studio.

The temporary solution outlined below fixes the problem with the emulator accessing the internet. However, it does not fix the problem that occurs when trying to run Android Device Monitor. Doing so will still make the emulator go offline as described above.

Note that there are two files named "emulator.exe" in the sdk -- one under sdk\tools and another under sdk\emulator. Either might work below, but I use the one under sdk\emulator.

The first step is to find where the SDK is located. Assuming a user name of "jdoe" and a default installation of Android Studio on Windows, the SDK is most likely in

C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

The second step is to determine the name of the AVD (emulator) that you want to run. The command

C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -list-avds

will show the names of your AVDs. On my computer, it shows only one, Nexus_5X_API_25.

To start the emulator from the command line with a specified DNS server, use something like the following:

C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Nexus_5X_API_25 -dns-server 8.8.8.8

In this case, 8.8.8.8 is a Google public domain name server.

The above commands can be shortened if you create appropriate environment variables and edit your PATH environment variable, but I recommend caution when doing so.

Emulator must be restarted after DNS Server has been added (Thanks to @kapusch)

For Apple Silicon users

as per @bourdier-jonathan You can fix the Silicon issue here: Emulator appearing offline on M1 Mac after the last update of arm64-v8a

By replacing the AVD system images you have downloaded with the r02 images. Because It appears r03, r04, and r05 all don't work on m1

I experienced this same issue after upgrade. Upon opening the Chrome browser in the emulator, google.com could no longer be reached.

I found a post on SO that suggested the problem was with the emulator trying to use a disconnected network adapter. For me the problem was occurring when I was connected to a LAN. Disabling the wireless LAN adapter fixed the issue.

To disable the adapter:

Navigate to Network connections
Find the adapter
Right click and choose disable

Thanks for the tip. I was beginning to suspect something like this since I noticed that connecting via the wired LAN adapter also solved the problem. It should also be possible to fix this problem by changing the priority of the two adapters, but either way seems to be a drastic fix. Why can't Google simply fix the emulators to use the connection that my computer is using. As I said, this was not an issue before I upgraded to Android Studio 2.3. For now I will stick with the other solution where I specify the DNS server. – John Moore Mar 17 '17 at 12:13

This happend to me when the emulator froze and I had to kill the process. The signal icon always showed the small "x" as in the screenshot and no internet connection was successful.

The only thing that helped was uninstalling and reinstalling the emulator (not the AVD images)

In Android Studio:

Tools-> Android -> SDK Manager Uncheck "Android Emulator" and let it uninstall then check again and let it install again.

I am also facing the same problem, but I am trying to solve the problem using various posts. Today I discovered this problem. Your computer configuration is most likely the problemm, not Android Studio and the Android Emulator.

The problem is coming from your Network setup. Just set the Primary DNS Server to 8.8.8.8, which will solve the problem.

I got a simple and permanent solution for this issue in windows.

Go to network and internet option->

click on Etherenet or wifi(for which you are connected) option ->

Click on change adapter option ->

Right click on the network for which you have connected.

A dialog box will be opened and just click on Internet protocal version (TCP/IPv4) option.

Another dialog box will be opened and there just neglect the first set about the IP address (Keep as it is set) and click radio button of Use the following DNS server addresses: and enter as 8.8.8.8 in Preferred DNS server: and 8.8.4.4 in Alternate DNS server:

Now you can open your emulator whenever and you will get internet in the android emulators.

None of the other solutions worked for me, but this one worked! As a mention: I'm on LAN cable, so I've made the changes on this setting instead of the Wifi connection. — Zbarcea Christian, Jan 16 '19 at 10:12

For me the problem was caused when I took my laptop home without restarting the emulator. From what I have read, when the emulator starts up it reads your PC's DNS settings and uses them. When I was on my home network, my work DNS settings were failing.

This was a problem for me last time the emulator updated itself and back then disabling other network adapters fixed it. Now it's cropped up again but the only adapter that is enabled is a single wifi one so I have nothing to disable.

The issue only reappeared after I updated via a prompt the emulator tools to 26.1.1. I uninstalled and reinstalled the emulator via the SDK Tools update tab and thankfully the only option when installing again right now is to install 26.0.3 (which seems to be working okay).

Moral of the story is to be very wary of emulator updates.

Solution for MacOS that does not use a custom DNS for your whole machine

Step 1

Locate the emulator executable Android Studio is using inside the Android SDK and rename it to emulator-original.

Mine is located /usr/local/share/android-sdk/emulator/emulator but it might vary based on individual setups.

Step 2

Add a new file called emulator in the place of the original file containing the following command (or using your DNS server of choice).

#!/bin/bash
$0-original "$@" -dns-server 8.8.8.8

Step 3

Make the new emulator file executable.

chmod +x emulator

Step 4

Restart the emulator using Android Studio.

With Some Indian ISPs and others, there is some issue with IPv6 routing which leads to the problem of our app not connecting to the internet or the backend API server.

To resolve this, We can manually assign the IPv4 addresses to the emulator which resolves this issue.

First let's note down the IP address dynamically being assigned to your emulator.

You can see this by going to the emulator's Settings -> Network & Internet -> Internet Android Wifi -> Android Wifi.
Note down the IPv4 address, Gateway, and subnet mask.

Now click on the top right Edit icon. Click on Advance options. Select IP settings to static. Enter the IP address you have noted down in the previous step. and in the DNS1 use 8.8.8.8. Click on the Save button. Now your internet should work.

As pointed by @osama buzdar, the DNS settings the emulator looks first might be specified in /etc/resolv.conf. In my case, as of macOS Catalina 10.15.7, there was 2 addresses in that file: the first one was a IPv6 and the second, IPv4 and for some reason the emulator was probably having trouble with the IPv6.

Then I edited the file (sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf) and moved the IPv4 up to be the first entry of the file, before the IPv6. Restarted the emulator and it worked.

Pro tips: using AVD with dnsmasq on Linux

To understand you to read Set up Android Emulator networking from Android Studio.

The loopback of the emulated device is 127.0.0.1 and the host loopback can be accessed from the emulated device from 10.0.2.2.

At startup, the emulated device set its DNS nameserver by picking those from the host in /etc/resolv.conf.

But the point is, if you are using dnsmasq, you setnameserver 127.0.0.1in/etc/resolv.conf` so the emulated device will hit it's own loopback where nothing is running instead of the host loopback where there is a DNS server running.

To solve that, add -dns-server when running AVD from the CLI.

For example:

Cloudflare DNS: ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator -avd Nexus_9_API_23 -dns-server 1.1.1.1
Host's dnsmasq: ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator -avd Nexus_9_API_23 -dns-server 1.0.2.2

AVD picks the first DNS entry. And does not support IPv6, so in my autogenerated resolve.conf the IPV6 address is stated first, and that fails the AVD. Using -dns-server options solves this problem. 8.8.8.8 is also a valid DNS entry (Google) — Hugo Logmans, Jan 17 '22 at 07:52

Select the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then click Properties.

Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. If there are any DNS server IP addresses listed there, write them down for future reference, and remove them from this window.

Click OK.

Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down for future reference.

Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers:

Repeat the procedure for additional network connections you want to change.

macOS DNS settings are specified in the Network window.

Example: Changing DNS server settings on macOS 10.15

Click Apple menu > System Preferences > Network. If the lock icon in the lower left-hand corner of the window is locked, click the icon to make changes, and when prompted to authenticate, enter your password. Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. For example: To change the settings for a Wi-Fi connection, select Wi-Fi, and click Advanced. To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, select Built-In Ethernet, and click Advanced. Select the DNS tab. Click + to replace any listed addresses with, or add, the Google IP addresses at the top of the list: For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4. For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844.

For example: To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, select the Wired tab, then select your network interface in the list. It is usually called eth0. To change the settings for a wireless connection, select the Wireless tab, then select the appropriate wireless network. Click Edit, and in the window that appears, select the IPv4 Settings or IPv6 Settings tab. If the selected method is Automatic (DHCP), open the dropdown and select Automatic (DHCP) addresses only instead. If the method is set to something else, do not change it. In the DNS servers field, enter the Google Public DNS IP addresses, separated by a comma: For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4. For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844. For IPv6-only: you can use Google Public DNS64 instead of the IPv6 addresses in the previous point. Click Apply to save the change. If you are prompted for a password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Test that your setup is working correctly; see Test your new settings. Repeat the procedure for additional network connections you want to change. If your distribution doesn't use Network Manager, your DNS settings are specified in /etc/resolv.conf.

Example: Changing DNS server settings on a Debian server Edit /etc/resolv.conf:

sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf

If any nameserver lines appear, write down the IP addresses for future reference.

Replace the nameserver lines with, or add, the following lines:

For IPv4:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

For IPv6:

nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8888
nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8844

For IPv6-only, you can use Google Public DNS64 instead of the above IPv6 addresses.

Save and exit.

Restart any Internet clients you are using.

Test that your setup is working correctly; see Test your new settings.

One of the quick and easiest way to solve this is choose a device with API 29 or below, there is some issue on higher API for the internet. The DNS thing was not working for me, so I tried degrading the device API level, and chrome, etc. started working. My application however was able to use the internet as we were able to fetch the data from BackEnd on higher API but having chrome issues testing some other functionality.

I've been having this issue for the past 8 hours, figuring out a way to solve it. It happened after my house had a power outage. My emulator would not longer connect to my pc's internet. I tried every solution here. The changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 worked, but I didn't want to route all my traffic through google.

What FINALLY worked was. I know this is insane, but unplugging my wifi router/modem. One quick unplug and replug fixed this issue. I TRIED EVERYTHING on this SO question and 5 other questions. I even redownloaded Android Studio and the Emulators. None of it worked. Try unplugging your router/modem.

Overriding the DNS in the Android emulator works for me.

On the device (Android 9+):

Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced > Private DNS.
Select Private DNS provider hostname.
Enter dns.google as the hostname of the DNS provider.
Click Save.
