Accessing localhost Web API from an android emulator on Windows

 There is a preconfigured IP address, for the emulator to access. 


The IP Address is 10.0.2.2

ie: use something like https://10.0.2.2:5001/api/customers


You'll end up with something like...


private string baseurl = Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android ?

    "https://10.0.2.2:5001/api" :

    "https://localhost:5001/api" ;

NMAP

It's been about 15 years since I used NMAP, I forgot how useful the tool is. To find out what services are running on an IP address simply use something like nmap -n -v -p1-10000 x.x.x.x -n tells nmap not to do name resolution (saves about 13 seconds if the IP you're scanning isn't in DNS_ -v verbose -p1-10000 says scan ports 1 to 10,000 (otherwise nmap will only scan the first 1000 ports)
