Answer 1

You shouldn't need to "turn on" the wifi of the AVD. It should work using your computers internet connection. Here is what worked for me when wifi on my AVD stops working(I needed to reset my AVD):

• Close AVD and confirm it is not running
• Open AVD Manager in Android Studio (Tools > AVD Manager)
• Click on the dropdown arrow on the right side of the emulator
• Click "Wipe Data"
• Confirm the internet on your computer is working then re-launch AVD

This issue recurs for me sometimes but after I complete the above steps it works again.

Answer 2

I think, sometimes emulator wont connect to internet if you start the emulator after connecting your internet connection to the computer... try connecting the internet first and then starting the emulator....

Answer 3

1. Shut down the emulator.
2. Turn off Ethernet, Firewire, and any other network interfaces. All of them. And I mean completely shut them off, e.g. on a Mac, open System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Configure > OFF. Simply unplugging the Ethernet cable is not enough.
3. Enable Wifi and verify it works.
4. Launch the Android emulator.

It should now display a 3G icon (or similar) in the status bar, and you should be now able to surf the web.

Answer 4

I made a factory reset in VS in manage android devices and after that emulator was connected to wifi!
