How to access localhost from a Genymotion android

Question

I can not figure out how to access localhost from a Genymotion android emulator. By the way, Im using MAMP.

Answer 1

Update

After genymotion update to 2.2 you can use 10.0.3.2, ref

Another approach

To access your localhost through Genymotion is using your PC IP address. to get your IP address go to:

start -> cmd -> ipconfig

then search for IPv4, copy the IP and paste it in your URL. It should looks like the following:

String YourURL = "http://192.168.0.106:8888/your_script_location.php";

Hope this works too for you, give me a feedback.

P.S: if it didn't work, turn off the firewall and any anti-virus application you have in your PC.

Answer 2

When i used genymotion in my ubuntu

i used the ip address of the virtual machine as local host and it worked .

in virtual box goto file > preferences > network > select host only network and select adapter tab copy the ipv4 address and use it instead of localhost ...

like http://192.168.56.1/qrstuff/json/

Answer 3

you need this structure

Genymotion

http://10.0.3.2/

Default AVD

http://10.0.2.2/

the http it's very important and the port it's for default It depends on your server.

you can check this url in your browser the smartphone

Answer 4

Genymotion! It works for me using IP 10.0.3.2 but depends on your localhost port. Apache it will be just IP and Tomcat with default port 8080. Here I take screenshots.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks!

Answer 5

Intro:

Long story short, Genymotion is running on Virtualbox, and the default network configuration is “Host-Only.” This method essentially emulates a physical network that is shared by your Genymotion VM (the emulator) and your host machine. The name of the network is vboxnet0, and if you run “ifconfig vboxnet0” (or “ipconfig vboxnet0” if running Windows) on your host machine, you should receive the IP address of your host on the vboxnet0 network. The default IP is most likely 192.168.56.1.

Solution:

This is the IP address to use when accessing your host machine from the Genymotion emulator. For my Rails app, this meant calling “192.168.56.1:3000” instead of “10.0.2.2:3000.”
