Run Android Emulator with proxy configurations

As an Android developer we use proxy connections all the time to debug our network calls. Before I show you how to configure proxy on Android Emulator, you need to add security config settings to your application code, you can follow this blog post to do that.

Configure Proxy:

Step 1: start Android Emulator. I am using Nexus 5X With Android P

Step 2: Get IP address and port number of your proxy connection. My Proxy IP address is 10.180.181.7 and port number is 8888

Step 3: Go to Android Settings

Step 4: Select Network & Internet

Step 5: Select Mobile Network

Step 6: Expand Advanced

Step 7: Select Access Point Names

Step 8: Select + (plus icon) on the Toolbar

Step 9: Provide Name, APN, Proxy and Port

Step 10: Important — Select overflow menu and Save

Step 11: use newly created Access Point Name

That’s it now Android emulator is configured to use the proxy connection for all the network requests.
