emulator throwing hostunresolved exception in android?
<p>i have as my first activity in my application a request to a certain address, from where i get XML and then i parse it...
I have added the permission on for internet access in my android.manifest file.</p>

<p><strong>my problem</strong></p>

<p>whenever i run my application on my emulator the following exception is thrown:</p>

<pre><code>05-19 18:25:05.099: WARN/System.err(473): java.net.UnknownHostException: Host is unresolved: www.svgverlag.de:80
</code></pre>

<p>i don't understand what is going wrong.</p>

<p><em>when i open the same address in my browser it opens up fine</em></p>

<p>i have tried restarting the emulator several times.
i am using a mac.</p>

<p>thank you in advance.</p>

<p>EDIT:</p>

<p>i have tried creating several emulators and in all of them this is happening.Also i tried on my friends macbook pro, and the same thing is happening.
Also in the emulator's browser no webpage is opening.For some reason the emulator is not able to access the internet.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>

<p>I believe that there is a problem with the emulator on mac per se. No matter what i try:
<li>
set the dns in Eclipse Preferences using dns-server- 8.8.8.8</li>
<li>turn of my firewall</li>
nothing seems to make a difference and my emulator is not able to access the internet.</p>

<p>Also there is a 3G symbol at the top of my emulator but with no help regarding internet access.
While on a my windows machine, things seem to work fine without any settings from my side.</p>

<p>what do i do?</p>
