Android cannot access localhost?

Question

I started a local http server on Android and it can be reached by other computers in the same local network. But if I try to access this server using opera on the same phone, it won't work. So this means we are not able to access localhost on Android? Thanks!

Answer 1

You shoud use next IP 10.0.2.2

Answer 2

Just check this http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/emulator.html#networkaddresses

If ur app running in localhost:3000, then try to use as 10.0.2.2:3000 in your android emulator

Answer 3

Try to use your ip address in your pc (ipconfig to see the ip address for your pc)

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.12

So, use: 192.168.1.12:3000
