Android TV SDK: setting proxy for emulator?

Question

I installed the Android TV SDK Developer for viewing on Windows. I am in a corporate intranet environment. I can start the emulator, but the main screen is endlessly looped with the animation "Preparation of recommendations." I can go to the settings and see that there is no network (no wired and no ethernet).

I suspect this may be a problem with the proxy server. I tried to start the emulator with the following command:

C:\Eclipse_w_Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140624\sdk\tools>emulator -avd AVD_for_Android_TV_1080p_by_Google_X86 -http-proxy http://MY_PROXY_IP:8080

(MY_PROXY_IP is replaced by the IP address of my company)

It starts the emulator, but has no effect on the network.

Has anyone else been able to get an Android TV emulator to fully boot in a highly secure gateway / proxy environment?

Answer 1

I thought I was experiencing this problem too (and initially commented on it), but later I realized that there was no connection problem. Two things to note:

• “Preparation of recommendations” will appear indefinitely, and I assume that this is simply because, by default, applications do not submit recommendations for filling this screen.
• Both Ethernet and Wireless will indicate that they are not connected. However, if you run an application that uses the network (a simple WebView is sufficient if the application has INTERNET permissions), you will see that it connects just fine.
