Answer 1

I couldn't get rid of the emulator "UnknownHostExceptions" - and the emulator's browser wouldn't get a connection either. Tried all suggestions I could find at stack overflow and everywhere else.

Finally I deleted my AVD, shut down Eclipse, and then created the AVD via the command line. Then launched it via command line with the -dns-server 8.8.8.8. (on my Mac: ./emulator -avd Google-8 -dns-server 8.8.8.8) It finally worked!

Hope this helps someone else.
