Accessing to laravel server from android phone at a port

Question

Trying to access to laravel server at localhost:8000 from android phone. What I did:

If I visit 192.168.0.110 then I can see the default page from php server. But when trying to connect to that port - shows error page saying:

This site can't be reached

In my laptop's browser I can visit localhost:8000

What's wrong I am doing? or what to do to connect?

For more OS:: Linux Mint and firewall (ufw) is turned off.

Update Couldn't solve the issue. Using ngrok instead. ngrok creates a publicly shareable url tunnelled to your localhost:port.

I encountered the same challenge when i was developing a barcode verification app. This was my solution:

I ran the following code so as to be able to use my system IP to access the laravel server

php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0

After running the code, I was able to access my laravel server from both my browser and android app through links like:

http://192.168.0.160/barcode/public/checker

or

http://192.168.0.160:8000/checker/

Also don't forget to include this in your manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

instead of localhost:8080 use
10.0.0.2:8000
this url.
