I'm trying to send a simple HTTP request to a ESP8266 from my Android phone. I'm following this tutorial. The code works for the URL used in the tutorial (https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2), however not for the URL that turns on the LED on ESP8266. (Turning on the LED is possible through a browser though, so it must be something with the code). The URL is https://192.168.137.78/led/1.
The stacktrace is quite long, but this is the first error,
2020-06-13 12:55:55.948 13594-13631/com.example.esp W/System.err: java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to /192.168.137.78:443
The rest of the stacktrace:

You're sending an HTTPS request, not an HTTP request. You haven't shared the code you're running on the ESP8266 but I'll bet that it's an HTTP server not an HTTPS server. Change the URL that you're trying to connect with to http:// instead of https://.
