first of all I'd like to say that I've been looking for answers in a lot of places, but I just can't seem to find any that work for me. At the end I'll list all the options I've tried already. I'm new to Android and this is driving me nuts.
What I'm trying to do is submit a simple GET request to a local Laravel database running on my Mac. I'm trying to call this request from an Android app on an emulator. My Laravel server is running on 127.0.0.1:8000 and it is turned on. In the .env file it states that DB_PORT=3306, but when changing the port in the request it doesn't matter.
What I'm doing in Android:
String url = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/recipes"; // More on the IP at the end
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
Log.d("heeftGewerkt", response.substring(30));
errorMessage = "Succesful register";
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d("heeftNietGewerkt", error.getMessage());
errorMessage = "Unsuccesful register";
}
});
My androidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

I understand that when sending a request to 127.0.0.1 it might look for a server on the android device, which it obviously can't find. So I've tried to replace 127.0.0.1:8000 with localhost:8000, local-ip:8000 and public-ip:8000. None of these seem to work.
When I make a request to the Laravel server using Postman (http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/recipes) it works and I get all the recipes in my database. Can anyone clear this up for me?
EDIT: The error I get is 'Failed to connect to /127.0.0.1:8000'. Looking at this it might be because I'm not passing in any DB credentials anywhere, but I'm also not sure if I should.
