Using maps under a proxy.

[Alok Sharma]

Hi,

well...Its working...I just tried the map application on the google api level 7, and it was working fine...there is just a different way to start the AVD. Heres how:

-Launch cmd in elevated mode..as in right click and launch as admin.

-change the directory to the place where ur emulator.exe is located ( program files\android\android-sdk-windows\tools )
-and type the following cmnd: emulator -avd ur_emulator_name -http-proxy http://your.proxy.address.here:8080

The above cmnd is all in one line...this will launch the AVD. I havent tried this with the app that i was making, but it was working fine on the pre-installed maps application so im guessing it will work with any other app thats using the map API. Also i tried this in API level 7.
Do reply back if its working with ur own apps or in any other API levels..
Thx.

Hey even if you add this as an emulator option it works! Right click
on your project -> Run As -> Run Configurations -> Target ->
Additional Emulator Options. Then type in -http-proxy 10.1.8.30:8080
(your own proxy) there.

I initially though it was one of BITS net's quirks (it still might be).
