Android Socket Connection Refused ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)

Question

I have created a server on my PC (localhost and port is 8080) and am trying to connect to it on my android device. But every time i try it gives me this error:

java.net.ConnectException: failed to connect to /10.0.2.2 (port 8080): connect failed: ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)

I have been looking online forever and looked at countless pages and have tried everything I could find.

-Switched the android host to 10.0.2.2

-Turned off firewall

-Changed the port

-Made sure both the PC and the android device where connected to the same internet connection

The Server code is written in Java and, just to make sure it works I tried making a connection to the server with another Java app. And it worked.

Thank you for your help, if you need any more info just let me know.

Answer 1

Do not use 10.0.2.2. That is for if your app runs on an emulator.

Use the LAN ip of your pc.

Find out with ipconfig.
