How to fix cleartext traffic not permitted issue in Xiomi Redmi 3S with Android 6.0.1

Question

When i am using URL with http then it shows an error "CLEARTEXT communication to (domain name) not permitted by network security policy" . I have tried cleartextTrafficPermitted = true in manifest.xml file but it is not compatible with payment gateway i use, which need cleartextTrafficPermitted = false. As it is API level 23 so, networkSecurityConfig = "@xml/network_security_config" doesn't work in it. I am using Retrofit as networking Library.

It is device specific issue Xiomi Redmi 3S, MIUI Global 10.2, Android version 6.0.1.

Any suggestion about this issue.

The error message clearly shows that the networkSecurityConfig is active. As you don't provide a custom on the system default networkSecurityConfig is used. Therefore provide your own networkSecurityConfig, it will be used if the device is running API23 or higher. — Robert, May 09 '19 at 12:34
I have used networkSecurityConfig and it working for Android Pie, but not in my Redmi 3S device. — Rahul Khatri, May 09 '19 at 12:39

Finally i got solution by medium post , Code i used :

Step 1: create file : res/xml/network_security_config.xml Add code in this file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true" />
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">Your URL(ex: 127.0.0.1)</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

Step 2: Add line in AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <application
        ...
        android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
        ...>
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>
