Hello I have a problem in accessing the localhost in my android device. I can't open my localhost in my browser. I installed an application that supports httpd, php and mysql. But when I have a connection in the Internet there's no error in displaying the localhost. But if I disable it, I can't open the localhost. Is there a configuration file that I need to configure in my device? I am using ICS. I am using 127.0.0.1 as my localhost I also did 127.0.0.1:8080 but it doesn't work also.
If you're trying to access your web server over your local network, then you'll need to bind the web server to an IP address that the device can access - this is not 127.0.0.1. Assuming you're on wifi with your android, you'll want to have your web server listen to something along the lines of 192.168.1.X. If you use 0.0.0.0 it will accept on all interfaces, this should work as well. Either case, you'll need to access your web server from your device using your web server's local IP address, not localhost and not 127.0.0.1
Localhost as the url in a browser should access the server running on that device.it sounds to me maybe you are connected to a remote desktop or something. Tcp/ip utilities in particular try tracert localhoast or route. config /release maybe your touting tables are messed up,weird
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 127.0.0.1. You can read more from here.
I encountered the same problem while working with my localhost too. The problem turns out to be with the antivirus that i was using. I was able to access my locahost again after turning the antivirus off. But because i cannot continue using my machine without an antivirus I just have to change the antivirus to another one. It worked for me, Hope it will for you too.

I have a offline website installed on my localhost PC , I am using xampp with apache. I installed everything and I can access the website from browsers normally. But when I am trying to send any PHP POST or GET requests to this localhost from anywhere like PostMan or any other online website I got connection Refused Error. Also its happen with file_get_contents.
I don't have much experience in Windows firewall or apache configuration so I need advice for what can I do?
it was a CSF firewall error from the online server side. it was not allow me to send the requests outside the server without whitelisted the requested server :)
Thanks
I am currently doing POST request from android to PHP WAMP server. I am facing one problem, that is ,it refused to connect with the server (error 403) by using my mobile phone. On the other hand, my android emulator able to connect and perform POST action to PHP server.
String urlAddress = "http://192.168.43.133/Test/php_script.php";
HttpURLConnection con=Connector.connect(urlAddress);
int responseCode=con.getResponseCode();
In mobile phone debugger mode, I got 403 for the responseCode. Anyone faced this kind of problem before?
By default WAMPServer comes configured as a single desktop secure environment, to protect beginners form getting hacked.
So to access it from another device you must tell Apache that that is allowed.
Edit the httpd-vhosts.conf file. This is where the locahost Virtual Host is defined. Use the WAMPServer menu system.
wampmanager-> Apache -> httpd-vhosts.conf
Look for this line inside the ` and tag
Require local
If you want to allow access from your WiFi network then change it to comething liek this
Require ip 192.168.43
Note I used only 3 of the 4 quartiles. This says allow any ip address in the 192.168.43 range to connect to this Apache Virtual host
Try and avoid using
Require all granted
That is a hammer to crack a nut approach and if you ever open up your router would allow anybody in the universe to access your site.
Once you have edited the file and saved it, dont forget to restart Apache
wampmanager->Apache-> Service Administration->Restart Apache
This is network issue so make sure you have the following checked:
You firewall
Both your pc and phone are in the same LAN
Check if you can access your server from another device on the network
I had this issue, WAMP by defdault only accept conections coming from the same computer, so trying to access it from another device even though on the same network won't work, for that you need to first disable any firewall installed on your computer then go to windows firewall and add WAMP as an exception, and then try, if it doesn't work, then google how to allow connection from external devices to WAMP
I am using BrainTree Payment service in my android app.For server ,I am using php and XAMPP. Now when I use emulator and access server with "http://10.0.2.2:80".
IP address, everything works fine but if I put my laptop's IP address(where server is running),it does't work on android device and emulator.
I am getting :
"Connection Timeout Error"
Thank You !It turned out to be McAfee was blocking the connection request..SO after disabling McAfee,it worked!
(1) make sure both your android device and your laptop are on the exact same wireless network. This has to be the same router so I would avoid testing in a public area where there may be many routers serving a network.
(2) sometimes your firewall a might be blocking incoming connections, temporarily disable it.
(3) double check you're connecting to the correct IP address in your code. CMD -> ipconfig, then it's ipv4
Make sure you are using the ipv4 that you see when you type ipconfig into command prompt.
Try to disable Windows Defender, change Apache's require all granted config among others and try disabling the Windows firewall.
I have a Dart application, which communicates to the server with POST-requests. At the moment, the server is on my local machine where I also test the application in the browser, so obviously, I have to send the POST-Req to localhost. But when the server is on one computer and the client anywhere else, it seems not to work with localhost even though both the webapp and the server are hosted on the same machine.
For example, I have to replace localhost:8080/web/info.php with 192.168.0.6/web/info.phpif the client machine is my phone that is in the same Wlan as the server. So does that mean that a request to localhostfrom dart code refers to the client machine? I assume so but want to be sure.
Localhost is just an easy way of identifying the current computer. It does not work when trying to access another server unless you view it from the server itself. If you want to access it from another server, you should either refer to your server by IP, or by a domain name.
According to James McLaughlin's answer, the localhost (http://127.0.0.1) could be server and client.
Other explanation for using the localhost for the client and server testing is at the localhost question.
I am trying to test a php website using the web browser in android device (Google Nexus S). The Android version is 4.0.3. I have installed WampServer on my machine (running Windows 7) and have copied my php code in the wamp/www directory. I am able to test the code by browsing to localhost from the web browser on my machine. To test from my android device I tried browsing to my machine's public IP address, but the browser just gets stuck and doesn't load the page.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem ?
Thanks.
If you are browsing to your PUBLIC IP you need to ensure your Windows 7 firewall is allowing traffic on that port. Browsing from your localhost most likely works because your firewall doesn't block local traffic. Browsing to your PUBLIC IP means you are going out to the internet, hitting your firewall (router/windows 7?), and then trying to get to your server. Do you have port forwarding setup on your router? Have you tried accessing your local LAN IP rather than your public IP?
Here's what I did:

I changed Apache httpd.conf to listen at port 8080 instead of 80.
Also I added a new inbound rule in my windows firewall to allow port 8080 TCP connections.
