I’m working on an app with a node js server (localhost) and my app works fine with

> ionic cordova run browser

But it’s not sending request to the server when I run on my android device with the command

> ionic cordova run android

I resolved my problem by changing my localhost url to the ip address  
change  
back\_end\_URL: ‘[http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)’  
to  
back\_end\_URL: ‘[http://192.165.5.201:3000/](http://192.165.5.201:3000/)’
