needs to access the same API

Question

I have a API.

I am developing a MAUI Android app that needs to access the same API but I can't make it work.

HttpClient client = new();

Uri baseurl = new Uri("http://localhost:8086/api/Login/");

Any ideas how to solve this or any way around or some Emulator config?

Answer 1

Hello,

Emulated device can't detect your development machine or other emulator instances on the network. It detects only that it is connected through ethernet to a router or firewall. The virtual router for each instance manages the 10.0.2/24 network address space. All addresses managed by the router are in the form of 10.0.2.xx, where xx is a number. Addresses within this space are pre-allocated by the emulator or router as follows:

From Google emulator network addresses document, you can set the 10.0.2.xx to replace localhost.

Or please use android devices and connect to the same network environment.

Best Regards,

Leon Lu
