Proxy can not be resolved

Question

I used the same code with only little changes as follows from here :
Downloading File in Android

Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(
                    "Myproxy", 8080));   
                URL url = new URL(sUrl[0]);  
                HttpURLConnection uc = (HttpURLConnection) url
                    .openConnection(proxy);  
                 uc.connect();  
 int fileLength = uc.getContentLength();

I am getting following exception for this:
04-12 09:31:42.401: WARN/System.err(5181): java.net.UnknownHostException: Host is unresolved: Myproxy:8080

This is an issue in Android versions 2.2 that they do not support Proxy
But some phones like LG P500 works with OPera as the brwoser. There is a great detail about this on

http://android-proxy.blogspot.com/

But you can really achive this using proxoid, it is an HTTP proxy for Android.

code.google.com/p/proxoid/

More information can be had from this site.Hope this will help you.
