Android Studio Emulator Cannot connect to Internet

Question

I'm having trouble connecting Android studio emulator to Internet behind proxy.

I have enabled permission in android Manifest.xml

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

And the app works perfectly well in USB Debug mode. This is the error i get when i run the app on Emulator. Following is my Logcat .
