In emulator am use this 10.0.2.2 ip address to test the application it work fine,but it not work for testing in android device.am connect the device through USB cable.How to test the app in device with local host.Can anyone know help me.
Start Wamp server on pc
Click Wamp windows taskbar
Click "Put Online" (bottom of wamp)
Run command prompt
type ipconfig and enter
Note your IPv4 address (192.168.1.206 in my case)
Make sure your pc and android connect with same wifi
Make sure your wifi network as "Home Network"
Open browser on android
Type your IPv4 address
I hope this help.
use The WIFI That is The Best Solution of your Problem..And Use Your IP Address for Connection ...from android device to the local server..:-)
USB won't provide network to you.
Hope this will help you.
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.
open a command prompt. type ipconfig and note your IP.
on your android device open a browser and type in your pc's IP.
I used this with WIFI and it worked fine.

I know that when we use a virtual device for testing android applications, we have access to the machine with this IP : 10.0.2.2
But when I use a real hardware phone instead of a virtual one, I don't know how I can access to the machine?
Thanks for any help...
NOTE that currently I can run my applications on the connected phone.
To connect through Wifi
Install connectify software in laptop to make a wifi hotspot. Then connect your phone to this hotspot.
You can find your local network's IP by go to cmd or press Winkey + R then type in "ipconfig". It will give out some information and your local IP should look like 192.168.1.x .
Using this IP you can connect to your local host from your phone
To connect through USB:
You should go for REVERSE TETHERING......

I can not figure out how to access localhost from a Genymotion android emulator. By the way, Im using MAMP.
Update
After genymotion update to 2.2 you can use 10.0.3.2, ref
Another approach
To access your localhost through Genymotion is using your PC IP address. to get your IP address go to:
start -> cmd -> ipconfig
then search for IPv4, copy the IP and paste it in your URL. It should looks like the following:
String YourURL = "http://192.168.0.106:8888/your_script_location.php";
Hope this works too for you, give me a feedback.
P.S: if it didn't work, turn off the firewall and any anti-virus application you have in your PC.
you need this structure
Genymotion
http://10.0.3.2/
Default AVD
http://10.0.2.2/
the http it's very important and the port it's for default It depends on your server.
you can check this url in your browser the smartphone
The IP returned by ipconfig dit not work for me. However 10.0.3.2 worked for me even though the IP address in the Wifi setting is 10.0.3.15.
Genymotion 2.2.0
it works for me by using http://192.168.56.1:8080
to know your IP just use the following command
for
(mac and linux) ifconfig vboxnet0
windows command ipconfig vboxnet0
and make sure the port is collect.
I got the answer from : here
Genymotion! It works for me using IP 10.0.3.2 but depends on your localhost port. Apache it will be just IP and Tomcat with default port 8080. Here I take screenshots.

2. Tomcat Screenshot
Hope this is helpful. Thanks!
Intro:
Long story short, Genymotion is running on Virtualbox, and the default network configuration is “Host-Only.” This method essentially emulates a physical network that is shared by your Genymotion VM (the emulator) and your host machine. The name of the network is vboxnet0, and if you run “ifconfig vboxnet0” (or “ipconfig vboxnet0” if running Windows) on your host machine, you should receive the IP address of your host on the vboxnet0 network. The default IP is most likely 192.168.56.1.
Solution:
This is the IP address to use when accessing your host machine from the Genymotion emulator. For my Rails app, this meant calling “192.168.56.1:3000” instead of “10.0.2.2:3000.”

run xampp(def 127.0.0.1:80) and go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center
select connection
When i used genymotion in my ubuntu
i used the ip address of the virtual machine as local host and it worked .
in virtual box goto file > preferences > network > select host only network and select adapter tab copy the ipv4 address and use it instead of localhost ...
like http://192.168.56.1/qrstuff/json/
Check your Internet Connection on PC first,
then Turn on Wifi in your Genymotion Emulator Device
After goto Cmd by Pressing ctrl+r then type Cmd and hit enter you will see an command line window
type ipconfig and hit enter...
here you can see your ipv4 address type it in your Genymotion Emulator Device's Browser now you can connect to your local webserver....
In my case 10.0.3.2 didn't work. I changed to virtual box host-only network : 192.168.128.2 it works.
You have to try other virtualbox adapters IP if it doesn't work with 192.168.56.1.
My environment is behind a corporate proxy and I was running an embedded undertow server.
Hope it helps.
Situation: on PC installed server, and available address with this site: http://localhost
And installed Connectify Hotspot to share internet via wi-fi.
Also, I have android-device from which I need visit localhost on my PC. Via wi-fi is not principal.
How I can do this? I have read a lot of instructions, but they are for AVD (through 10.0.2.2), that I could do, but not with real device.
I made it.
Disable firewall while you testing connection.
Define your wi-fi IP-address by ipconfig.
On local server you need to create folder with this IP-address and put in this folder site or something, you want to open through wi-fi on mobile.
example: 192.168.77.1/www/index.php
Restart your server. After this you will be able to access to your site in PC-browser by your wi-fi IP-address. If not - restart server another once, or something going wrong :)
Turn on mobile wi-fi and in browser try to access to wi-fi IP-address.
Profit.
localhost on the device refers to the device itself, not to your computer. Get your computers IP address (ifconfig on linux or mac systems) and use this instead of localhost.
I have built an Android application using the emulator to test. It connects to localhost to get and send data which works well. Now I want to try that application on my mobile device. I have read that I have to:
connect my computer to my router network
connect my mobile to my router network
go to the code and replace the 10.0.2.2 with the IP of my computer
Am I right? If so, is that computer's IP the IP that connects my computer to internet?
If you are developing in Eclipse, all you have to do is:
Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable
Right click on the root of your app
Select "Run As" > Android Application
If your device is connected, it should automatically run
Note sometimes you have to select whether you run on your connected device or on your emulator, but a window will display your options and your just select one.
Simple as that.
You are correct, when you simply connect to your local router you can get to your localhost by changing the configuration to point to: "http://10.0.2.2:8080"
I found the other ways to be very tedious

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.
