I needed to figure out the system host IP address for the emulator  Nox App Player    Here is how I figured out it was 172 17 100 2    Installed Android Terminal Emulator from the app store Issue ip link show command to show all network interfaces   Of particular interest was the eth1 interface Issue ifconfig eth1 command  shows net as 172 17 100 15 255 255 255 0 Begin pinging addresses starting at 172 17 100 1  got a hit on  172 17 100 2    Not sure if a firewall would interfere but it didn t in my case   Maybe this can help someone else figure it out for other emulators

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

You can actually use localhost 8000 to connect to your machine s localhost by running below command each time when you run your emulator  tested on Mac only    adb reverse tcp 8000 tcp 8000   Just put it to Android Studio terminal   It basically sets up a reverse proxy in which a http server running on your phone accepts connections on a port and wires them to your computer or vice versa

If you are in windows you can go to simbol system and write ipconfig and check what ip is assigned to your machine

Try http   10 0 2 2 8080  where 8080 is your port number   It worked perfectly  If you just try 10 0 2 2 it won t work  You need to add port number to it  Also if Microsoft IIS has been installed try turning off that feature from control panel  if using any windows os  and then try as given above

If you using Android Emulator   You can connect to your Pc localhost by these IPs   10 0 2 2  port of your localhost    gt  if you set your machine port in xamp you must use that port   In my case 10 0 2 2 2080   Also you can use your network adapter IP  In CMD write ipconfig and find your adapter ip address     If emulator can not connect to this IPs close the emulator an open it by cold boot from AVD Manager    If you using Genymotion   You can connect to machine localhost by this IP   10 0 3 2  port number  Or your adapter IP address as I explained above  in my case   192 168 1 3 2080

Use 10 0 2 2 for default AVD and 10 0 3 2 for genymotion

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
