DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL: The emulator CLI's -dns-server option does not seem to work on API 31 or newer.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Run a local dns server and log queries: dnsmasq -dq
Start an API 31 emulator: emulator -avd emulator31 -dns-server 127.0.0.1
Resolve a domain: adb shell ping www.reddit.com
dnsmasq does not show that domain in the log.

However, on API 30, these same steps will result in the dnsmasq showing the queries to reddit.com:

dnsmasq: query[A] www.reddit.com from 127.0.0.1
dnsmasq: forwarded www.reddit.com to <ip>
dnsmasq: reply www.reddit.com is <CNAME>
dnsmasq: reply reddit.map.fastly.net is <ip>

We need to override some DNS entries in order to test our app in environments that do not have external internet access, but it stopped working in API 31 or newer.

Hello everyone. Is this bug going to be fixed? I have to install 3rd party app to emulate the location. I really need this feature. Please, fix it.

Marked as fixed.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 22.04. There is for a quick moment a white square where the map should be, but it is gone in a blink. Not sure if it is related, but when selecting a saved route, a grey overlay with the text "Loading Saved Route.." appears. This remain in place forever until the emulator is closed. (screenshot attached)

Same, blank map, white square at first but then nothing.
Also keeps loading when uploading saved route.

SDK does not change anything, I'll try changing API 33 to another one maybe that's the issue.

Ubuntu 22.04

Same happening to me on Ubuntu 22.04.
I tried several API emulators (23 to 33).
Also tried deleting and creating emulators again.
Also tried rolling back the emulator version a couple of versions prior.
Calling the emulator in the command line instead of in the IDE, does not solve it either.
Nothing worked and I have both problems: map does not appear and when clicking the routes, it gets stuck on Loading.

I also opened an issue in stackoveflow,

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71316605/google-maps-missing-in-extended-controls-android-emulator a while back, but issue is still ongoing this seems like it is a Linux related issue, I can confirm it works on Windows and Mac, this issue needs to get fixed at this point.

For now as a workaround you can you the flatpak version as suggested by @Torben
