You first need to enable remote access to IIS Express, this link can help you on the subject: https://www.justinwalker.me/2014/07/07/access-your-iis-localhost-from-another-computer/ , then the IP you will use is the one assigned to the machine where you are running the API

CodePudding user response：

localhost of an Android device is localhost.

You need to use the IP address of the computer, on whatever network that the computer and the device share. You cannot access localhost on one machine from another machine, by definition.

And you can get the ip address by running ipconfig from dos prompt.
