Error connecting to localhost:5554 - Connection refused: connect error #16

Closed RiccoSuave closed 3 years ago

I am using Chrome and Windows 10; do I need to update Windows firewall to permit 5554? I did add a rule to allow 5554, and yet I still get an error as follows: "Error connecting to localhost:5554 - 0" Given that I am very new at programming, could you tell me what language this uses, so I can learn more about it?

Do you have the emulator up and running before trying to connect? I think it tries to auto-connect at launch, so you may need to press the Connect button to try again.

Other than that, I don't have a Windows machine with the Android emulator to test against, so I can't try to reproduce the problem. I wouldn't expect Windows to block a localhost connection, but I really don't know. Sorry I can't be more help.

The program is written in Java and uses GWT.

i have the same message, but i think the problem is: it only works on the emulator. i want to forward this to my real device. any hints for that?

@veitk This is intended to be used with the Android Emulator, not a real device. I think you need to run an app on your phone to allow you to set a fake geolocation. This tool might work with something like that. Maybe take a look at https://github.com/luv/mockgeofix
