Configuring the emulator DNS settings

Question

I am struggling to get the Android emulator to use a custom DNS server, which is running on localhost (127.0.0.1).

As of now, I have tried various approaches trying to convince the emulator to use my DNS server, so far without success. In the end, it always boils down to the following error message:

net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

I tried configuring the Emulator's DNS Settings from Emulator guide but still not luck http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#dns

Answer 1

You may be able to give this guide a go, I use this for my dev setup and have modes to test local dns servers.

• Download (Daedalus) and open the application.
• Click on the menu then click “Servers”

• Click the add button and add the two google servers “8.8.8.8” and “8.8.4.4”, You can substitute these for your preferred DNS provider as well.

• Activate these dns servers in the menu by clicking on “Settings”

• Then select Google and Google 2 from the settings.
