I’m trying to test an application that has on the Manifest:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

This was done to support Tablets without GSM capabilities.

The problem is… I don’t have a physical device to test, and I need to access the internet from the app. Whenever I create a emulator without GSM support… I cannot access the internet.

Does anybody have a clue on how to access the internet from the Android emulator when it doesn’t have GSM support?

The documentation that I read said that there is no WiFi support on the emulator, so.. is there anyway to use another thing?

UPDATE:

This question might help others with the same problem: How to disable/enable network, switch to Wifi in Android emulator?

    Have you looked at the Android-x86 project, it has wi-fi support so it will be able to do what you need. This screenshot shows wifi working.

    I know it isn’t exactly what your looking for, but as far as I’m aware you’re correct in thinking that wi-fi support is not possible on the default emulator.
