title: how to use proxy for HTTP connection on android?
body: <p>The usual java way doesnt seem to work - i put in bogus values in there and it still "works", so it seems that android doesnt read those properties.
  I also put this info into Settings section of OS (via GUI). 
  ANy ideas? Thx.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Properties props = System.getProperties();
      props.put("http.proxyHost", "190.128.1.69");
      props.put("http.proxyPort", "80"); 
  </code></pre>
