Answer 1

Have you tried adding the android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the application tag in your AndroidManifest.xml file? Also try to add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> over your application tag.

If that does not help, than you can also try out this: https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-config.html
