How to access localhost from a Genymotion android emulator?

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.
