[Fixed]My network requests are not working in Android Pie!
Recently I faced a weird situation where my app was working fine in all Android versions except Android Pie. After lots of debugging I came to know it was because my server was not secure ie it was using HTTP (not HTTPS). Android P uses HTTPS by default. What this means is that if you are using unencrypted HTTP requests in your app, the app will work fine in all versions of Android except Android P. Let’s consider two situations where your app won’t work properly in Android P. Firstly, if your server is on HTTP obviously it won’t work in Android P. Another case is when your server is on HTTPS but it is returning something like an image URL which is HTTP, you won’t be able to load the image in Android P. The good news is… there is a really simple and quick fix for the above problem so let’s get started. You just need to create a network_security_config file in the xml folder and then include it in the manifest in the following manner. <?xml version="1.0"
