How to point to localhost:8000 with the Dart http package in Flutter?

问题

I'm following the Flutter Networking/HTTP tutorial to do a GET request to a server running on my localhost:8000. Visiting my localhost via my browser works fine. My code looks like this:

var url = 'http://localhost:8000';
Future<String> getUnits(String category) async {
    var response = await httpClient.get('$url/$category');
    return response.body;
}

This works fine when I point to any real URL, such as https://example.com, but when I point to https://localhost:8000 or https://localhost (or any variations of these), I get an error starting with:

E/flutter ( 4879): [ERROR:topaz/lib/tonic/logging/dart_error.cc(16)] Unhandled exception:
E/flutter ( 4879): SocketException: OS Error: Connection refused, errno = 111, address = localhost, port = 47060
E/flutter ( 4879): #0      IOClient.send (package:http/src/io_client.dart:30:23)

The port in the error above changes each time I reload the app. I looked in the http package code and it doesn't seem like there is a way to specify the port for the URL. How do I point to my localhost?

Short answer: You can pass an Uri instead of a string as parameter

      var client = createHttpClient();
      client.get(new Uri.http("locahost:8000", "/category"));

Replacing the string localhost with 10.0.2.2 resolved it for me, since I was running the code in the Android emulator, which is running in a VM. It's essentially a duplicate of this question.

replace 'localhost' in your url to wifi connection ip e.g : 'http://localhost:8000' => 'http://192.168.1.102:8000'. you can get your wifi ip from command prompt with cmd>ipconfig (wireless LAN adapter WI-FI.

var url = 'http://192.168.1.102:8000';
Future<String> getUnits(String category) async {
    var response = await httpClient.get('$url/$category');
    return response.body;
}

do this in Ubuntu

go to setting
click on network tab
now click on wired network and copy the ip address and replace with localhost

note: your connection should be wired it may be LAN , USB Tethering but not Bluetooth Tethering (in my case Bluetooth Tethering is giving me error )
