android emulator and local site

Question

I've started android emulator app and trying to open from embeded browser locally started web-site, but local dns name (from /etc/hosts) is not resolved. Is there any option to enable local resolving?

Answer 1

Refer this URL. The issue is 127.0.0.1 is not the correct IP for accessing local server sites on emulator.

http://localhost:8080/MyTestPage.html // URL to use in computer browser
http://10.0.2.2:8080/MyTestPage.html  // URL to use in emulator browser

However, you need to do some configuration changes as suggested in the URL.
