Xamarin Android Emulator. How to connect to Wifi?

Nikolay Renziglov 21

Hi there
I am debugging my mobile app (Xamarin Forms) communicating with the Web API. Both mobile and Web API are in the same solution and starts simultaneously when hit F5 in VS. The Web API server runs on my local IIS and configured to the endpoint like 192.168.1.19:3003.

When I start my physical device (Android A6 phone, obtained IP address, say, 192.168.1.20) as a mobile client, everything works Ok. When I switch to emulator (accelerated with HAXM), nothing go thru' from client to Web API server.

How to make the Android emulator work in my Wifi?
Thanks

Nikolay, please don't post duplicate threads with the same question. If you have additional information to add you can edit into the original post. I've deleted your other version of this.

Please provide more detailed information. What specifically isn't working (what are you trying to do, what behavior do you expect, and how does the actual behavior differ?) and what environment are you targeting? Which Android Emulator are you using? There are several. You tagged the Windows Subsystem for Android, but it doesn't use HAXM, so I've removed the tag.

Most emulators will use the host's networking to get to the internet, but will often be blocked from the local network. For Google's Android emulator (the default used by current versions of Visual Studio) see: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-networking
