Android Hello Map View problems on the emulator

I'm trying to run the Android Hello Map View tutorial app on the Android emulator. The Google Map view displays, but the tiles are blank.

Judging by the errors below (taken from LogCat) the app is unable to connect to the internet. The web browser on the emulator connects without problems. I've also double-checked the API key.

I'm using the 1.5 Google APIs SDK, from Eclipse Galileo, on Windows XP SP3, behind a corporate firewall.

I've tried two methods to add proxy information:

1. Add -http-proxy http://www.foo.co.uk:80 to Additional Emulator Command Line Options in the Target Page in Debug Configurations.

2. Remove settings in 1. and add proxy information at Home > Menu > Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.

Neither seems to help.

Any other ideas? Should I be adding proxy information within the app? If so, how?

AMENDMENT: internet permission has been added to the manifest application element:

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

Did the same thing, moved the "" above the "

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

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
 <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

    <activity android:name=".HelloMapView"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

</application>

are you setting the internet permission in the manifest file??

I am sure you must have just checking:)

Looks like this is a bug: Issue 3764: Google Maps fails via mandatory web proxy.

for me I put the permission in the wrong place in Manifest file. It shouldn't be within application node, instead it should be at the same level as application node..
