Hello ...

I am trying to access a website on my local server from the Android emulator: http://localhost:5000/test.html

The Android browser replies "Network error: Error 80 connection refused"

Is there a workaround available which enables the emulator to access local pages?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Your emulator has it's own network stack. With lo/127.0.0.1 - so localhost won't work as you try to connect to a serversocket on the emulator. Connection refused is quite logical if the port isn't open

Try to access http://<your_computer_ip>:5000/test.html - this should work. If you don't have an IP simply configure eth0 or your wired network adapter with a static ip - preferable 10.X.Y.Z or 192.168.X.Y. Hope this helps.

It works!

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
