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

2) Install it

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

3) Setup the Emulator

./android

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
