(**) I created an ASP.NET web server, hosting SignalR hub. I followed this tutorial. It works. Then I created a Xamarin.Android client(*). The problem is I can't connected to the server. I think, I can't connected because of "localhost" in my host address. The exception is pretty big.
If my suspicions are correct, how can I work around? How can I make localhost looks like normal server?
(*) - I also tried with Xamarin.Forms in general.
(**) - Please, look at the "EDIT" at the bottom of the question.
This is my method:
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
// Get our button from the layout resource,
// and attach an event to it
Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.MyButton);
button.Click += async delegate
{
button.Text = string.Format("{0} clicks!", count++);
var hubConnection = new HubConnection("http://localhost:64642");
var chatHubProxy = hubConnection.CreateHubProxy("ChatHub");
try
{
// Start the connection
await hubConnection.Start();
// Invoke the 'UpdateNick' method on the server
await chatHubProxy.Invoke("Send", new object[] { "TheMessage", "JohnDoe" });
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
};
}

EDIT:
as mason and Jason suggested, I probably have to use the proper IP instead of "localhost". The IP that Android Emulator see the actual localhost. I'm struggling to find that IP, it's somewhere in Android Settings. Any help would be great!
