Android App not connecting to internet on emulator

Question

The app does not connect to the internet. I have

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

in my manifest and I checked the other applications on the emulator for example youtube and google search works but the application isn't able to load the page. This is my main java file.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {


    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        WebView myWebview ;
        myWebview  = (WebView) this.findViewById(R.id.webz);

        myWebview.loadUrl("https://en.wikipedia.org/");

    }

}

and this is my main activity

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.hoda.myapplication.MainActivity">



    <WebView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/webz"></WebView>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

this is the error i get

[ERROR:gl_surface_egl.cc(289)] eglChooseConfig failed with error EGL_SUCCESS

Try enabling javascript and override the webviewclient to avoid redirection:

        WebView myWebview ;
        myWebview  = (WebView) this.findViewById(R.id.webz);
        myWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        myWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
        myWebview.loadUrl("https://en.wikipedia.org/");

and update the constraints of your WebView:

   <WebView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    android:id="@+id/webz"></WebView>
