HTTP proxy in Android Emulator works for browser, not for WebView
<p>My development environment is behind and HTTP proxy.  In the Android emulator, I am able to set my proxy address and credentials in the wifi preferences.  Then when I view the page in the browser, I get prompted to reenter my credentials for the host I specified.  Not sure why I have to enter them again, but it works and I'm able to view the page.</p>

<p>I then have an app with a WebView which loads the same page.  The app has internet permission:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/&gt;
&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>and supports platform notifications:</p>

<pre><code>WebView.enablePlatformNotifications();
</code></pre>

<p>But... when I try viewing the page I get the proxy's error page saying the username and password weren't entered correctly.  This suggests to me that the app is successfully reading the proxy address, but like the browser isn't reading the credentials.  It is then lacking the ability to show the same dialog as the browser asking for the credentials before completing the request.</p>

<p>Is there a way to enable this dialog (is it built in?) or a way to manually specify the proxy details?</p>
