Hello. I'm trying to connect my app to my node.js server. If I run this anywhere but within a compiled android app, it works fine. Also, if I substitute the ip.address with an myfile.html local reference, it works fine. Am I doing something wrong? Am I able to open an ip address in the url? Please help.
Here's html file:

<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src *; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'">

<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
window.location.href = "http://192.168.0.1:3000";
}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="load()">
<h1>Connecting to Server...</h1>
</body>
</html>

Literally, "http://ip.address"? :-)

No haha, my ip address 192.168.0.1:3000 connects to my node.js server.

Is your client on the same LAN as node.js server? This is not Internet address...
Does anything work if you simply enter this address in browser address line? I guess, not.

Yes it is LAN. It is not a public IP. Through browsers on same router can easily access server with putting the ip address:3000 in url. My android phone works too using a browser, but if I try compiling into an App and running it on the phone, it gets stuck on "Connecting to Server...". I have been at it for 3 days trying everything ):

Does your phone support javascript?

Yes. I've made plenty of apps on it, it works all well, just the code doesn't.
