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.
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("http.proxyHost", "190.128.1.69");
props.put("http.proxyPort", "80");
