For those of you who know, ping utility does not work on Android Emulator. This is because emulator has no ICMP support on QEMU with user mode networking. QEMU user networking mode details can be found here. The solution to get ping working on emulator is by adding another virtual network interface on the emulator.

We start with installing uml-utilities package on the host machine.

apt-get install uml-utilities

This would enable us to create a virtual interface on the underlying host. A virtual interface on the host can be created using following command

tunctl -u $(USER_NAME) -t tap0

	version: 2
	ethernets:
	eth0:
	dhcp4: true
	match:
	macaddress: <MAC_ADDRESS_1>
	set-name: eth0
	eth1:
	dhcp4: true
