How to solve SocketException: Failed host lookup: 'www.xyz.com' (OS Error: No address associated with hostname, errno = 7)

Question

Whenever I try to do an http call after about 20 seconds I get in the console the following error:

E/flutter ( 8274): [ERROR:flutter/shell/common/shell.cc(1         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem while running the app on an emulator.

My laptop was connected to the internet through my phone's mobile hotspot. But apparently the emulator was unable to access the internet

Later, I switched to my Wi-Fi Router connection and the application proceeded smoothly as expected.

I'm not sure, but is there any special access to be granted?

Tip: Try googling something on the emulator to check internet connectivity
