Because it’s painful, here’s how I did it on OSX :

1) Download Android SDK

2) Install it

/Android/android-sdk-mac_86
cd /Android/android-sdk-mac_86/tools

3) Setup the Emulator

./android
  • A Java app opens
  • Click SDK Platform Android 2.1 and download Archive for MacOS X
  • Click Virtual Devices and New
  • Give a name (AndroidTest), set the target to the SDK you downloaded
  • Set Size to 512
  • Create the AVD (Android Virtual Device)

4) Run the Emulator

./emulator -avd AndroidTest -partition-size 128

5) Setup the Hosts file

Set the device to read-write

./adb remount
./adb pull /etc/hosts

Edit the hosts with the following

nano hosts
10.0.2.2 localhost
./adb remount
./adb push hosts /system/etc

Congratulations you should now be able to browse the hosts

If you need to access SVN remotely, by default it runs on port TCP port 3690, so you need to make sure it is open in your firewall etc.
