Android Emulator - No internet connectivity - android

I know that there are several threads posted about this issue, however I believe my problem to be a bit different:
I had my Android emulator working without any problems (using Eclipse plugin). I could start the emulator, run applications, and those apps would be able to connect to my computers internet. I then updated the Android SDK's (as I wanted to try out my application on 2.2). Since the update, the emulator will not connect to the internet. If I go to the browser, the page will not be displayed. I have tried everything - reverting back to the 2.1 SDK, even completely reinstalling Eclipse + Android, and the issue still remains.
I know that I have no firewall/proxy type issues. What could be causing this? Does anyone have any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it...
Thanks!

The answer to my question:
Upgraded to SDK 2.3 - now no emulators have connectivity
should help
In particular "It doesn't seem to like systems that have 'obtain DNS automatically' set. I changed it to manual set to Norton's Public DNS and the emulator browser works straight off "

Android app slow when installed from Android Studio, but runs fine when installed from adb

I'm not really sure how to word this.For some reason when I install an app that I'm working on from Android Studio it runs very slow (when an option is pressed it takes 10-20 seconds to register). But if I install the app from either my coworkers Android studio or adb from my own machine it works fine.
My specs are:
OS: Windows 10
Android Studio Version: 3.0.1
Phone OS: Android API 24
It was working fine this morning, but during the course of the day, something has happened. Has anyone run into this sort of problem before?
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S8 physical device. I have tried a factory reset on the phone which worked for one install after I changed some things I'm back where I started. I have also restarted both the machine and phone multiple times. I'm at a loss as to what is going on. If you guys need any more info let me know. Also INSTANT RUN IS NOT ON.
EDIT: I'm at a total loss as to why this is happening. I've tried everything from restoring the phone, reinstalling Android Studio, changing wires, changing settings, but nothing is working. If anyone has a suggestion I will gladly try anything.
I've finally found a solid solution to my problem. I'm positive now that something went wrong with m usb drivers for windows 10. I went to this page https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/windows-10-slow-usb-30-transfer-speeds/a5e1eebb-74bb-4777-8902-5131f3e8ec3e and I completed the steps in method 1 and that did the trick for me. it took a while to find this out, but hopefully, someone else will find this helpful.
Have you compared your yesterday build and today build which is making your app slow. Any Significant change in code?
Have you set up breakpoints or similar? Some debugging options can significantly slow the app down at runtime. When this happens, if you disconnect the phone from ADB - e.g. pull out the cable - and it speeds up again, then it's likely related to your debug connection to that particular instance of Android Studio.

Android SDK Manager showing no System Images

I have been fighting this all day with no success. I have removed & re-installed the SDK multiple times, I've tried http:// and https://, I've cleared cache.. I'm at a loss.
I'm on W10 x64. My Android SDK Manager shows no System Images available for download at all. It shows everything else - all the platforms, documentation, etc. - but no images of ANY kind.
I have tried all the possible combinations of "New/Updates", "Installed", and "Obsolete" to no avail. I have run the SDK Manager as Administrator, and I am not getting any errors in the log (ie, some users reported "Connection refused" errors). By all accounts, everything works - but I have no images available.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance!!
I had the exact same issue, I do think it was definitely some server-side package thing - the images never showed up as options to select for installation, even after Android Studio was reinstalled twice and over two different machines.
For me, it was fixed by upgrading to Android Studio 2.1 when it came out, though I had to wait for that...

Emulator refuses to boot past Android screen

I am currently a QA intern at an app publisher and I use the AVD to test apps on various Android platforms and hardware builds. I touch nothing else within the Android SDK, just launch the android exec through the terminal and go from there.
I installed and started using AVDs with no issue about a month ago, installed the Intel HAXM with no issue, etc. It randomly stopped working for me about two weeks ago and I've been struggling with it since then. I've deleted everything from the Android SDK and reinstalled several times, tried using adb to no avail, nothing. I haven't been using Eclipse to get to the AVD Manager, but even when I do it makes no difference.
I've run into a dead end after trying every potential solution I could find on the Internet. Help me before I go insane.
Also using a Retina MacBook Pro, not that I think that'd make a difference, but just incase.
I am going to put this up as an answer just because I really found it to be the best solution to all of my native AVD issues (my default AVD emulators would creep even on my faster machines). I downloaded genymotion and must say that I am a million times happier with the emulation. It is faster, smoother, has more options, it just makes the native AVD look even worse than it already does on its own. Even if genymotion isn't for you, I highly recommend looking into third party emulators. It will make QA, development, etc. with Android that much easier. Assuming ARM isn't required (don't think it does ARM emulation)

Android SDK Emulator won't load

So i'm having awful trouble trying to get the Emulators in the Android SDK to start up. I can create the AVDs just fine, and then when hitting the 'start' button from the SDK Manager, bring up the small loading console window, indicating that the emulator is launching. However, after that, nothing happens!!
I have read many threads and posts with people having the same problem, maybe to do with the settings requiring too much memory, with some people waiting 30 minutes for the emulator to load!!
When trying to run the AVD emulator through terminal, I simply get a 'Bus Error' with no further indication of what could be going wrong...could it be a memory issue?
What I did to get where I am now:
Download the Android SDK package for Mac. I'm extracting the sdk only, not eclipse. I'm on Mac 10.6.8.
Install the SDK, and download the latest version of Android in the SDK Manager, along with default tools.
create a AVD and hit start.
window pops up to boot the emulator, that process is complete and window closes.
Nothing happens.
My knowledge of the sdk tools are very limited, all I want is to be able to do some testing...
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Actually, the simplest way to get emulators running right now is probably GenyMotion. They provide an interface, and pre-configured emulator images to make it pretty simple to get running.
This is not an endorsement (I use the standard ADT myself) but a lot of people find their tools useful.
Here is my suggestion: instead of using AVD, start using espresso and virtual remote android hardware emulator from Google servers - also known as android-test-kit. You will have the possibility to run and test you App on several different devices, without the need to spend money on actually all different devices for developing and testing purposes before releasing your Apps. You find further details here:
android-test-kit
Why Espresso
The 2 videos are somewhat long, but worth watching.
Taking this approach will solve your problem, save you money, and improve your productivity.
I run into the same issue on my mac 10.6 and it only works if i do
emulator64-x86 -avd my_android
Besides, my virtual device has to configured using x86 but not ARM
maybe this link can help you.

Eclipse won't recognize G-tablet

I am trying to view a sample app on a real device (a ViewSonic G-tablet), but the device won't display in the "Choose a running Android device" area. The virtual devices show, but no real devices show (there is only one plugged in, the G-tablet). Some other information...
I am using a Mac with Eclipse SDK 3.7.1 w/Android
App is noted as debuggable in manifest file (android:debuggable="true")
G-Tablet is set to allow debugging
Device selection is set to manual in SDK
I CAN view files on G-Tablet using Finder
I have reviewed Android developer docs
I have searched a lot online for a fix, without success
Please also note...
There is NO option on G-tablet to allow "unknown sources". However, I have downloaded apps outside the customary channels (e.g. Firefox from the Firefox site) and it works fine.
I do NOT want to do anything to the G-tablet to void the warranty.
I have already checked for/installed updates using the Android SDK Manager.
The fixes I was able to find on StackOverflow related to this problem did not work for me. I am thinking the problem may be device specific. One fix discussed getting a driver for the device, but I couldn't find one.
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the SDK to recognize my device? I'd appreciate any insight on this.
Can you export the app as an .apk and run that on your G-tablet?
also is the android:minSdkVersion set to a value lower than your G-tablet's version?
Found the answer after trying a zillion things. All that needed to be done to fix the problem was turn to OFF 'USB debugging' and then turn it right back on. I found the idea on this page... http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/showthread.php?t=156247 . Hope that might save someone else hours of time.
