无法通过 Android 应用访问我的笔记本电脑的本地主机

Question

So I did a research before posting this and the solutions I found didn't work, more precisely:

-Connecting to my laptop's IPv4 192.168.XXX.XXX - didn't work

-Conecting to 10.0.2.2 (plus the port) - didn't work

I need to test an API i built using Django Rest framework so I can get the json it returns, but i cant access through an Android app i'm building (I'm testing with a real device, not an emulator). Internet permissions are set on Manifest and i can access remote websites normally. Just can't reach my laptop's localhost(they are in the same network)

I'm pretty new to Android and Python and Django as well (used to built Django's Rest Framework API).

EDIT: I use localhost:8000/snippets.json or smth like this to connect on my laptop.

PS: I read something about XAMP server... do I need it in this case?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Have you started the server like this?

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Then, try to connect to 192.168.XXX.XXX:8000

Answer 2

I tried the above, but failed to work in my case. Then with running python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 I also had to add my IP to ALLOWED_HOSTS in settings.py, which solved this issue.

eg. Add your ip to allowed hosts in settings.py ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['192.168.XXX.XXX']

Then run the server python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Answer 3

Others have already given the answer but those solutions didn't work for me when I was running Django server on Ubuntu and was trying to access it from my Mobile app.

Following is what worked for me:

Step 1: Run server to access it from your IP

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Step 2: Open port in firewall (Missing step in above given answers - Needed for Ubuntu)

$ sudo ufw enable 
$ sudo ufw allow 8000
