android connect error when RNFetchBlob.fetch url includes localhost or 127.0.0.1

[liushmh]

const url= `http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/info`
await RNFetchBlob.fetch('GET', url, {});

when running it on IOS virtual device, it works fine,
running it on Android virtual device,
if set url with http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/info , get an error: Failed to connect to /127.0.0.1:3000
if set url with http://localhost:3000/api/info , get an error: Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:3000

Thanks @dhamdani666

@PAVITHRA88
how did you solve this in details

Afaik on Android you need to reference 10.0.0.2 in order to point to the host machine's localhost (from Android simulator). 127.0.0.1 is the virtual phone's localhost
