Mobile Study: Proxy with Android Emulator

http://markp3rry.wordpress.com/2012/08/24/android-x86-emulator-in-virtualbox-setting-http-proxy/

There are plenty of tutorials out there for installing and running an Android x86 emulator on VirtualBox in Windows (best one I found was herehttp://brunocosta.com/blog/pt/2011/11/02/speeding-up-android-development-with-android-x86-and-virtualbox/). Doing this gives you a much more responsive Android emulator than the one you get with Eclipse. But it's also a bit of a pain to set up.

The thing that had me stumped for a while was how I set up the proxy settings so that the browser could access the Internet. Android (v2.3 at least) doesn't have the option to set proxy settings like Windows does, you have to set it in the Linux command prompt. Do ALT-F1 in Android and in the command prompt type

setprop net.gprs.http-proxy http://1.2.3.4:8080

and substitute the correct IP address and port for your proxy.

That should be all you need to do – fire up the browser and see if you can hit Google.

Proxy Server

Sorry, I find a way to config proxy http://www.cnblogs.com/DesignPatterns/archive/2008/10/10/1307898.html.
But it only be in effect when reboot machine. LiveAndroid save data in memory, after reboot, all
go back to initial setting. We'll change it soon.
