How do I disable the Internet connection in Android Emulator?

Question

I am trying to check Internet connectivity on Android using the following method. I have a Wi-Fi connection.

private boolean checkInternetConnection() {     ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);      // Test for connection     if (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null             && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isAvailable()             && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) {         return true;     }     else {         // No conection         return false;     } } 

I disconnect my PC from the Internet and then try to run the above method. Still it always returns true!? Why?

Answer 1

From Eclipse

To disable the Internet connection, go to Eclipse and do

menu Window -> Show view -> Other -> Android -> Devices 

Now select your running emulator and again go to:

menu Window -> Show View -> Other -> Android -> Emulator Control 

Now in that... set Data to Unregister from Home.

From Device and Emulator

On the device or in the emulator, go to:

Setting -> Wireless & networks -> Airplane Mode -> OK
