How to open localhost in flutter webview

Question

What I m trying:

Open a local host in flutter WebView. I am using This plugin and this project is running in Django with URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/. I want to open this in my flutter app.

What I have tried:

After searching SO answers, URL: http://myIPaddress:8000/.

UPDATE

I am providing internet from mobile.

I am using http://192.168.43.55:8080/ is not working and also http://192.168.43.1:8080/

Any suggestion will work, thanks.

What's not working? http://127.0.0.1:8000/. is not going to work as it's localhost in the device where you run the app and not the server localhost. http://myIPaddress:8000/. where myIPaddress is the ip of the server in the same network as the device, should work unless I miss something. – Frequentation

http://myIPaddress:8000/ is not working – Dancer

Have you tested http://myIPaddress:8000/ in desktop and mobile browser? Does it work? – Frequentation

Are you running / debugging in the Android emulator, the iOS simulator, on on device? In the Android emulator, you'd have to use a 10.0.2.2 based address - see developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-networking. For simulator, it should work as you have it. For device, see comment above from Claudio (there may be other options, but that might be simplest). – Gilbertogilbertson

Yes. In desktop and mobile, nothing is working. – Dancer

Yes, I have already gone through this. but I m using a physical device.which is my mobile and also from this device I'm providing internet to the desktop. – Dancer

What are you using in as myIPaddress? if http://127.0.0.1:8000/ works in the desktop, replacing 127.0.0.1 by a valid local ip should work too. – Frequentation

I have Updated the Question with myIPaddress but nothing works for me. – Dancer

Answer 1

Try with http://10.0.2.2:8000. If you get a cleartext error, in your AndroidManifest.xml add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" under the application tag

Answer 2

With Android emulator, you can access the localhost by providing the IPv4 with http:// that means http://192.168.43.55:8080/ should be accessible from your flutter webview application.
