10.0.2.2:8080 in web browser in emulator is not working

Question

I have a wamp server in localhost. I tried to make http request from my android app. But cannot get it right. Many said 10.0.2.2:8080 will point to localhost from emulator. So i tried to open it in web browser from emulator. i typed in url as "10.0.2.2/cifi/test.php". But emulator popped error as "net:CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"

Need explanation: how to make my wamp server in local machine to listen 10.0.0.2:8080 from emulator's browser.

There is something you are not tell us. Is your emulator running in a Virtual Machine?? — RiggsFolly, Feb 04 '14 at 21:20
For Genymotion, 10.0.3.2 - from: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20914067/2162226 — Gene Bo, Mar 08 '15 at 22:45
Moved from answers to comments: It finally worked! I used "10.0.2.2:80/cifi/test.php". My wamp server listens only to that port. Thanks to everyone who wanted to help me! — IhtkaS, Jul 16 '20 at 09:00

Weirdly enough, in my case, I had to turn on and off the airplane mode to get it working.

Your Wamp Server seems to be accepting only localhost connections.

Left click on wamp icon -> put online

Additionnally you should type a url http://10.0.2.2:8080/cifi/test.php instead of http://1.0.2.2/cifi/test.php

You just wrote in your question : "i typed in url as "10.0.2.2/cifi/test.php". But emulator popped error as "net:CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"" – TheCopycat Feb 02 '14 at 12:18
Have you tried the other thing I mentioned in my answer ? left click on wamp icon -> click `Put online` – TheCopycat Feb 02 '14 at 12:32

Just got the same problem and resolved it by executing:

adb reverse tcp:8080 tcp:8080

That said, after I revoked forwarding, the host machine remained visible and all ports were working, so it is unclear how it works.

Make sure that

You don't have a proxy set in WIFI settings
If you do, then 10.0.2.2 is added to bypass without a mask
That you didn't make a typo, like you already did in the post with 10.0.0.2:8080

10.0.2.2:8080 in web browser in emulator is not working
