我无法在Android设备上访问localhost域

Question

I want to test a site that I am developing in my localhost environment on my Android device. I did set up my Android and PC and they are connected. When I open my remote devices in chrome, my Phone is connected. I can also open a normal url from the tool and it will open in my phone.

But I am not able to open a domain which I have set in my environment like this:

127.0.0.1 wptest.local

I would now like to op this URL: http://wptest.local/wordpress/ in my phone, but I get: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.

I get an Apache notice "Object not found" when entering:

192.168.178.21/wptest.local/

so I am close I guess?

I have read through this question but can not figure out what to do: How can I access my localhost from my Android device?

I hope someone can explain me what to do to get access to my localhost domain?

Edit to clarify a bit: My PC and Android are connected by USB to the same WIFI and I am able to get to the localhost. That is, when I insert my IP4 address, it will go to the first "localhost name resolution" in my hosts file. That is now: 127.0.0.1 wptest.local

In my httpd-vhosts.conf, I have this code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName wptest.local
    DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/wptest/public

    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"

    <Directory C:/xampp/htdocs/wptest/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The folder for my site is: C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\wptest\\public\\wordpress

In there is the index.php file.

When I enter my IPV I do get: Index of / and the wordpress folder on my phone. But I can not get any further. As soon as I choose that wordpress folder and hoping to open the index.php file in there, it resolves to: wptest.local/wordpress/ and that can not be found.

Clearly I am new to this stuff, but hope that this clarifies it a bit.
