Access localhost from Android device - android

I have a server in xampp in os x laptop, when I type: 10.0.2.2/myphpServer in the emulator web navigator, goes ok, but from a usb-connected real android device, I can not connect.

Check public ip of your pc by ifconfig command in terminal
then use YOUR_IP/myphpServer
If you are in local network (router or LAN) then use your local_ip/myphpServer (make sure your mobile is also in same network)
If your mobile doesn't have internet connection then go for Android USB Tethering

You need to connect both device to same network to access localhost in Android device.

Better use the IP Address of your laptop type in cmd ipconfig search for Local Area Connection: IPv4 Address

Access the localhost via android device Easyphp

I need to access a localhost on easyphp via a physical android device, but I'm not succeeding.
I tried to disable firewalls, both private and public, but nothing.
I tried using the ipv4 of the wireless wifi lan card, but nothing.
I've tried various solutions on stackoverflow, but nothing seems to work.
Os pc: windows 8.1
port localhost: 8080
Nodejs
I'm doing the tests from the mozilla browser of the android device.
Can it be a problem?
What can I do?
Use a fixed ip of server machine rather then local host.
and your mobile device and server machine having same network, like local network.
like:
your.ip.address:port/yourpath
try this method -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/56884341/8168420
I use localhost:4880 in your Case just put the "local address" -> localhost:8080 in the port forward and the Device port will be any port of your choice e.g (8888)

Android device access local host on laptop

I am new to android and backend development and came in a problem today. I have setup rails server on my computer and localhost:3000 shows ruby page. My android device (connected by usb) main activity has a webview and I tried localhost:3000
Use Your IP Address Instead of Localhost
Instructions if you're on a Mac. Other OS's, do something comparable.
Connect your computer and Android tablet to the same Wifi connection.
Open System Preferences.
Go to the Network section.
Click on your Wifi connection and copy your IP address from that window:
Make sure your Rails server is running on port 3000.
On your tablet, point to your computer IP address with port 3000,
192.168.0.14:3000
Hope that helps!

Just simple, you should try to do these steps same as below:
First, you type this command in order to show your ip address: ifconfig
Second, in your console, type this command: rails s -b your_ip_address
For example: rails s -b 192.168.1.102
Finally, open browser on your android and type: 192.168.1.102:3000
You can read this rails official to understand clearly.

http://smyck.net/2007/03/11/how-to-bind-webrick-to-any-ip-address/
You need to bind your webrick to ip address of your ethernet or wifi adapter.
if your laptop and device are on the same wifi, just connect to the hostname or IP of your laptop http://[laptop Ip or hostname]:3000

How can I access my localhost from my Android device?
use Connectify Software, and insert the IP address of the system, in your android code instead of 10.0.0.2.
For Windows 10 Users
go to Control Panel-> System and Security->Windows Defender Firewall->Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off.
Set both private and public network settings to off.

I used this with WIFI and it worked fine.

android connect to PC's localhost when debugger on mobile device

I want to debug my android application, I connect the android device to my PC using the USB cable. In my application there is a button to connect with localhost, ip for localhost is 10.0.2.2 and the port is 8080, I have read that when debugging on mobile, the ip 10.0.2.2 is the localhost for android device and not for my PC, so what changes should I make to the ip instead of 10.0.2.2? or do I have to make another change?
In this case my android device is sony ericsson xperia arc s.
Google has added support in Chrome 29 and higher to use reverse port forwarding to access a website hosted on your local development machine through the USB cable on Chrome for Android. Setup instructions can be found at the following URL:
Android Remote Debugging - Reverse Port Forwarding
Tools for Web Developers - Access Local Servers
As of desktop Chrome 30 Reverse Port Forwarding is no longer an experimental feature in Chrome. It can be accessed by typing about:inspect in the address bar of your PC, and by clicking the "Enable port forwarding" check box and clicking the "Configure port forwarding" button located to the top right of the window.
Once that is done, connect your mobile device via USB. Open Chrome on your mobile device to localhost:8000 (or whichever port you have configured on your local server).
The Reverse Port Forwarding functionality will make sure that your Android device now sees your PC's localhost.
As 10.0.2.2 is your system (pc)'s local host address (from emulator only). Actually android doesn't recognized localhost in url. so 10.0.2.2 is for that meant. Also for android device loopback address is 127.0.0.1.
Your url with 10.0.2.2 is correct. Also you can use Static IP of your system.
Just check for
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
in your application's manifest file.
EDIT:
Here you are using port 8080 so, try with adb command on your host machine.
adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080
Also please elaborate on this line "i want to debugger my application on my mobile".
Note:
If you are going to test on real device use your Network IP of system (PC).
For that you need to make some changes in your xampp server... Assign 1 static IP address to your system and then you need to put your xampp server in online mode. after that you can use that ip address in your android application instead of 10.0.2.2. Works fine for me as i am using my localhost with my android application.
You can share your Mac's Internet connection over Wi-Fi. Then your Android app can connect to a Servlet running on the Mac with HTTP over Wi-Fi. The steps are:
Run System Preference on Mac
Goto "Sharing" tab
Turn on "Internet Sharing"
Select "Ethernet" in the "Share your connection from" combo
Select "Wi-Fi" in the "To Computers Using" list box
Use "Wi-Fi Options..." button to configure Wi-Fi security. Now your Mac is a Wi-Fi server, and it is sharing its Ethernet Internet connection.
Configure your Android device's Wi-Fi to connect to your Mac (in Settings command)
On your Mac, goto the Network tab in System Preferences, and select Wi-Fi in list to find out the IP address of your Mac on the Wi-Fi network (for me it was 169.254.66.223)
In your Android App you can now connect to the Servlet in your Mac with "http://169.254.66.223:8080/YourServer/YourServlet"
I think you have two options
The first one is using 10.0.2.3 when you use your real android device.it works for me.
Your Second opt is creating hotspot from your pc and connect your android device to the hotspot.
Find the ip address using cmd type "ipconfig" replace localhost with the ip address.
Thanks.
