The WebView running in the emulator in Android studio cannot access internet, but Chrome can?

I installed Android studio 1.0.1 and followed this page https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/webview/gettingstarted to wrap a website to an app.

However, I got the following error when running it in emulator.

Webpage not available

The webpage at https://..... could not be loaded because:

net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

However, I tried to click the link and it launched the website in Chrome without any problem.

It may be a bit late, but my solution was to add the port to the address: https://www.XXXXX.com:443

It may be a bit late, but still. You have to make sure that you included ALL the following permissions.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Sometimes, you need to connect to your VPN provider to get rid of net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error. This is unrelated to the host VPN connection for the host computer if you're at some emulator. You need VPN at the emulator's Android, too.

This may sound kind of obvious, but make sure 3G is turned on in your emulator:enter image description here

To do so, turn on Cellular Data (on is the switch to the right):

enter image description here

Then notice the 3G symbol shows up above the signal strength symbol: enter image description here

I've been trying to manage connection state and stumbled onto this question and know that's a possible reason for that error. It's a little late, but hopefully helps someone down the line.

Provided you've given access to internet in manifest.xml, and still emulator can't access internet, this solution worked for me on windows 7:

Click Start -->Run, type in cmd, press OK. Copy and paste this into the Command prompt: netsh winsock reset catalog Press Enter Then copy and paste this in: netsh int ip reset reset.log Press Enter. When finished restart your computer.
