I don't think that unless you also share the network via USB interface, you can access the PC's localhost.
Quote: When I paste this into the browser I get data back:
"https://localhost:44302/api/Customer/Get?Id=1"
Because your "PC browser" has a process that is internally listening on the localhost (127.0.0.1) @ 44302. So it works.
Quote: When I paste this into the browser
"https://192.168.1.149:44302/api/Customer/Get?Id=1"
This would "only" work if you have a machine or a process that is listening on 192.168.1.149 @ 44302. This is more likely a networking issue rather than an Android/PC problem. And, when you are on the same machine, you should always use 127.0.0.1 (aka localhost) instead of the machine's own private IP address.
Oh, one more tip, try only http:// and not the https://, or you will end up running in the SSL errors and you might assume the machine is down.

This is all confusing to me. All I want to do is write a simple test Xamarin Forms app that connects to a Web API. I'm testing on my phone which is connected via USB to my PC.
WHat's the right way to do this? Can you point me to any resources for consuming a web API from Xamarin Forms?

I think if you use the emulator in vs2019 you may be able to access localhost (a guess). The issue is that the phone is a separate device without the infrastructure to access you PCs IIS server.

How do I create an operating system using C programming language, and install it on my smartphone

You would need to write device drivers, boot sequence, kernel, support libraries etc. It will probably take a while.

I'm going to be bulding a Xamarin Forms app for a client in the construction industry. I can publish directly to my tablet via Visual Studio. But what options are there for gettting the app and updates to my client's tablets?
This isn't going to be a commercially available app that anyone can download from the app store. It's only for use on my client's tablets.
Thanks

Hi,
Iam using VS2015, Windows-10 Home. When I try to install Visual Studio Android Emulator in Windows 10 Home, It asked me to install Hyper-V. Then I installed. But now Iam getting the error message

The message is clear, the Android emulator cannot be run on that version of Windows.

Hi,
I am totally new to mobile app development, i am looking to develop a mobile app (hybrid) where a user can flip through a book (pdf) pages and place book marks where required.
I need some guidance as to which tech stack / framework to use. Any pointers will be of great help. If there is any similar app or sample project that will be awesome.
Regards,
SA

In that case you first need to decide which language to use. If you already know Java then go for Android Studio, if C# then you may like to try Xamarin Forms. If you are not experienced in either of these languages then you have a long way to go before you can even start to think about how to build this application. There are lots of articles at Mobile Development[^] which can help.

Thanks Richard,
I am quite comfortable with C#, i was wondering if i can do something with ionic or any other mobile dev framework.

Sure ill check xamarin and also wait if someone else might have some other suggestions.
Thanks once again.

Just have to agree on Xamarin, imo the best option out there

I'm a long time WPF developer. I am working on a WPF business app for a client and I'm going to be developing an Android tablet app to go with it. This is my first Xamarin Forms project, so bear with me...
I followed the tutorials here Xamarin documentation - Xamarin | Microsoft Docs under "Get started with Xamarin.Forms", "Build Your First App". I went through all four projects. Everything works fine.
So I then decided to convert the project to MVVM. One thing that I found through Googling is that if you want a View Model to open a new page, your View Model has to know about the INavigation property on the Page See this. What concerns me is that INavigation has to be passed from the UI into the CTOR of the VM. IMHO, This creates a few problems:
1) The VM must be set in the CTOR of the view. That prevents you from doing this.
2) A UI property now has to be passed to the VM.
3) Doing it this way means that you cannot share VMs between WPF and Xamrin Forms projects as WPF doesn't have INavigation.
One this last point... I got the impression from reading up on Xamarin Forms that it's all about sharing code. It seems to me that I could have VMs in a shared project, and use the them in both WPF and Xamarin Forms apps. For example, a LoginViewModel is a good candidate.
Again, I'm very new to Xamarin Forms. I would like to share VMs if I can. I'm open to hearing how this should work.
Thanks

hi Kevin
Why do you want to mix Xamarin form and WPF if i may ask ?
You can create a Xamarin Standard Project and create the content pages there and other types of pages or views you want to add , after that do your UI there and if there is a limitation on the Xamarin Forms you can use Custom Renders and this UI changes you have made in the standard form will be outputted to different platforms which is ios and Android.
i know you have knowledge of WPF , you can use it on Xamarin Form. but leave WPF out of Mobile dev for now.

I am plotting out how to design an app I have in mind, but I wanted to get advice on what the best path to success would be.
End Format -> iOS, Amazon Fire TV
App Purpose -> Music player, organize playlists.
Two methods of playback are play on the server using something like mpg123, or easier method will be playback on device that is accessing files over the network.
The music sits on a Samba share but I would like any kind of NFS style share comparability.
This is partially a programming exercise, as I'm sure plenty of options already exist.
My first thoughts on approach:
C# -> Very Verbose and I only know basics
Delphi / Free Pascal -> Much more readable, though far fewer guides to help.
JS/PHP -> WebApp maybe the easiest to write, I have some PHP experience. Though get the impression my execution would be "hacky". Lots of ducktape.

To be honest, you don't have a lot of choice. iOS and Amazon Fire TV are very different beasts - one it iOS (IPhone, iPad) and the other is Android (as hacked about by Amazon) - so unless you want to write two different apps, your best approach is browser based, or Xamarin - and that means C#.
And do bear in mind that "play on the server" means just that: the client will not be able to see of hear anything unless they are in the same room ... mpg123 is a unix based music player, it won't magically make the sound come out of speakers a thousand miles away.

Thanks OG, that's my concern is cross platform is still no man's land to some degree.
The hacky/easiest way I could think of is hook up speakers to my server (Raspberry Pi clone) and toggle music on and off with mpg123. I would at least like the option for both, play on local device or server.
I read a little about bringing webapps to Amazon Fire. Are there any ways to bring a web app onto iOS? My concern is that a web app would not have capability to reach out to a local (not internet facing) NFS share.
