Android Studio - Android Emulator Wifi Connected with No Internet

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

On Mac OSX (Catalina for me), the problem is caused by the fact that the emulator automatically picks up the nameserver by looking at /etc/resolv.conf and picking the first one, in my case an IPv6 address. Source: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-networking#dns

Simply edit the file (sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf) and move the IPv4 address (192.168.1.1 in my case) to be first, before the IPv6 addresses. Seriously, that was it.
