I'm designing an android app that communicates with a web server. Till now i was hosting the server on my localhost and was accessing it with 10.0.2.2 on the emulator. Now I need to access a server hosted on the company's network PC vserver36 with address 192.168.1.124. How do I do this on the emulator?
You have just to use the address 192.168.1.124 instead of 10.0.2.2 ;)

How to get https on the localhost on my mobile device? When I start my .NET Core project on my PC there is https://localhost. But when I try to connect to localhost following these instructions: Access ASP.NET Core 2.1 web app hosted on localhost from mobile device what I get is HTTP. Is generating and installing SSL certificate on IP address the only solution? Or maybe there is another way to check how push messages look like on mobile device?
i have an Android app that needs to access offline a MySQL database that's hosted on my localhost (i'm using WampServer).
i can't use USB tethering or port forwarding because my laptop won't have internet connection too.
what can i do?
You can setup wifi, connect your system which contains server and your android device to same wifi. Assign a static IP to your server system and let your android connect to that server's MySql through the IP you assigned. Basically it is nothing much different then your web api and db hosted on cloud server and your android application connect to that cloud using either the domain or ip.
I want to learn client - server communication in Android. As per my understating, to communicate with the server we need a valid URL. My doubt is that, can I communicate Android mobile client with the local xammp server???? If yes, please explain me...
Thanks in advance...
yes you can do that if you are using android emulator then use http://10.0.2.2 ip address to access localhost, for genymotion use this http://10.0.3.2.
You can also use Google Chrome's port forwarding but you need google chrome on computer and emulator or device.
if you want to access localhost using port forwarding then open following address on google chrome chrome://inspect and enable port forwarding and set port and ip address.
i have an android application works on emulator and connect to server localhost , send an receive data, i want to make my application on real mobile and connect it to localhost via wireless, i am using servlet to connect from mobile android emulator to localhost server, what is the changes i have to do? and can I connect to localhost via wireless or i have to buy a real host?
Firstly, check the URL and change the IP address from that of the local server to local IP address. Make sure that the mobile device is in the same network with the computer to access the script that fetches the API. Then service the request to get the results in terms of Javascript Object Notation (JSON).
My web application runs in localhost server. In my emulator the URL is http://localhost:8080/myaction
Is it possible to retrieve the information from the server?
Localhost is device's own loopback interface, if you're trying to access your development machine use 10.0.2.2.
