How to connect to my http://localhost web server from Android Emulator

What can I do in the Android emulator to connect it to my localhost web server page at http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1?

I've tried it, but the emulator still takes my request like a Google search for localhost or worse it says that it didn't found the page while my web server is normally running.

Solution 1:

The localhost refers to the device on which the code is running, in this case the emulator.

If you want to refer to the computer which is running the Android simulator, use the IP address 10.0.2.2 instead.

You can read more from here.

Solution 2:

Use 10.0.2.2 for default AVD and 10.0.3.2 for genymotion.

Solution 3:

I used 10.0.2.2 successfully on my home machine, but at work, it did not work. After hours of fooling around, I created a new emulator instance using the Android Virtual Device (AVD) manager, and finally the 10.0.2.2 worked.

I don't know what was wrong with the other emulator instance (the platform was the same), but if you find 10.0.2.2 does not work, try creating a new emulator instance.
