When using bluestacks emulator - http://localhost/nairaland becomes http://10.0.2.2/nairaland in your emulator
but some other types of emulators like genymotion - it becomes http://10.0.3.2/nairaland

I know that sir, I'm referring to the ability to use an Android phone in this case.

^^^I have done it once in the past, and unfortunately did not document exactly how i did it, but i have not been able to re-duplicate the steps again. when i gerrit again, i will let you know how.

Ok. Thanks

I just found a very simple walk-around on it?

FrankLampard:
I wanted to do some test on my localhost. That is why I needed the Android Emulator.

I will try and download Genymotion.

Or is there a way I can use to my phone to connect to MySQL on my localhost using WiFi or Cable.

Get your laptop IP address By this->
cmd -> ipconfig.

Next, Click on WAMP icon on the window TaskBar and Click on "put online" inside the menu popup...
After that, you can access your URL like this from anywhere......http://your.ip.adress/YourRootFolder/script.php...

Not that, I meant connecting to my laptop to my phone using IP address like someone explained above.

Okok.

It must work, u just have to make sure you have a very good internet for your PC and Phone.

I believe it was because of some security thangs i have installed on my laptop that is causing that - not that i dont know the right steps.

Try and connect your phone and laptop to the same network. E.g, turn on your phone mobile Data and Hotspott and connect to the hotspot with your laptop. It should work that way...

E no work for me. Maybe is spectra net blocking it

OK Bro

Good day my bosses.

When creating an Android App with section that has SETTINGS in it. And I want to save some user data and the rest.

How do I achieve this? because, I would like to use the preference later in the App.

Is it through SQLite, SharePreference or what?

Please, I would like anyone with experience in this to tell me how to achieve this with little explanation.
Thank you.

SHAREDPREFERENCE can save stuffs persistently - at least until the app gets uninstalled. You can even convert a json object/array to string and save them to sharedpreference.
However, if you wish to use sql statements to retrieve the data, or you wish to store very large json with like 100, or thousands of data - you need to use sqlite (or an online alternative).

Mobile data is not required

Yes. It's very possible. If the app you're building has rest backend, just check your machine IP address using cmd - > ipconfig. Then use your IP address to connect em together. NB: TURN ON YOUR MACHINE WI-FI AND CONNECT YOUR PHONE To it FOR BEST RESULT
