Does not send to local tcp ip server

[nitnahtnit]

I'm trying to send data to a local c++ tcp/ip server listening on 127.0.0.1:27015 using:

var socket = new SocketIO("http://127.0.0.1:27015"); socket.connect();

socket.on('connect', () => console.log('connected')); socket.emit('test', 'hi');

But the server is not receiving anything. I am on same network and running from a physical android device. Can this be done? I need to send data from android to windows pc.

Android version ?

@triniwiz running on Android 9

Since you are using v9 a quick fix would be to add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to your application tag in the AndroidManifest but the perfect solution would be adding it to your networkSecurityConfig ..... example

oh I almost forgot you will need to use the ip of your computer not the localhost address

That worked well, thank you. The server is programmed to shut down once client disconnects, is there a way to keep the connection alive? SocketIO is closing connection after sending the first payload
