Ionic: the connection to the server was unsuccessful


I've have a problem when I use the --livereload in following command: ionic run android --livereload. If I does not use --livereload the app works fine. This also only occurs when I test on a physical device. On an emulator there are no issues.

I've already tried several options like:

<preference name="loadUrlTimeoutValue" value="700000" />

Or the index to main.html solution like explaned here: How to fix the connection to the server was unsuccessful. (file ///android_asset/www/index.html)

Does anyone know what is the cause of the problem and how to solve it?


Solution

  • After a time I've noticed that when I've closed my terminal window in Intelij the problem never occured. Now I end the process and then close the terminal.

    It seems that somehow the process remained active after "stopping" it. I'm running my ionic run android --livereload --target=emulator-5554 command in a new terminal now.
