Only re-creating the AVD could help reliably. Sometimes it works, sometimes not on the same AVD. I always have to start the emulator with the -http-proxy command to get it to work.
My ambient: MAC OS ambient + android emulator and parallels windows 7 with fiddler proxy The reference is /studio/run/emulator-networking.html#proxy.I am using Android Studio 1.0.1 and having proxy in my office system. for proxy with username and password use this format: -http-proxy error emulator is not recognized as a command in my case.do i need to add anything in PATH variable?.what eclipse version is that? i don't see this interface :(.this also worked with Volley! added just in case someone was grepping that.this answer should be the accepted one! Works with Burpsuite on mac!.This doesn't work anymore on android 5 images (api 21).It doesn't work on Android emulator 2.3.3, but works on emulator 4.1.2 for me.probably adding port forwarding, but that is a pain too Does not work with the most common use case of running Fiddler2 or other proxy on localhost.
