Question

I have wasted a whole day trying out different solutions floating around in SO and other place mentioned to enable wifi on the android emulator but to no avail. Can anybody

Answer 1

My solution using Mac OSX 10.13

I read about it being caused by LAN card and WiFi being enabled, and some approaches seemed complicated to me, so I simply tried this, and it worked:

• Disabled WiFi on my laptop.
• Switched off the emulator.
• Did a cold boot on the emulator (AVD Manager -> on emulator actions -> Cold Boot Now).
• After reboot with laptop WiFi disabled the emulator showed proper WiFi connection (emulator still shows AndroidWifi but is connected to my laptop internet. WiFi symbol now look like this: WiFi symbol connected)
• I then enabled WiFi on my laptop and everything worked.
