can't connect to the server inside emulator from outside localhost

Question

I have a server running inside and android emulator listening in port 8080.

after the port forwarding i was able to connect to the server via my web browser "from the host(my real os)", but only if i put 127.0.0.1:8080, the problem is i can't connect if i put 192.168.1.12:8080 which is my LAN address.

some explication and how to fix it please.

other way to explain the problem: i'm in USA running a server inside my android emulator, i want some one from japan,canada...to be able to access and connect to it. or i want my second laptop to access to my server in first laptop which is the same network.

Answer 1

resolved,

the thing is that adb accept connection only from 12.0.0.1 no thing else.

so i install android in virtual-Box and redirect connection from 192.162.2.101 "my lan ip address" to 10.0.2.10 "android ip address in the emulator"(i do that in the virtual-box network UI".

and every thing work well.

adb "google emulator" is designed to be used/access in single host.
