Xamarin Forms HttpClient not working

Question

Hi,

 

I am new to Xamarin Cross-Flatform technology (C#). I am developing one small application where I need to call the http url, get the json data, parse it and display it on the screen.

 

I am using System.Net.Http for achieving the http call. Below is the code i am using to achieve it.

But request is not reaching to http url

 

namespace EmployeeInfo

{

class HttpCommunicator

{

public async Task<RootObject> sendRequest()

{

RootObject rootObject = new RootObject();

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, "http://192.168.1.36:8080/JsonReader/JsonReader");

var result = await client.SendAsync(request);

result.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

var content = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

//client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://172.19.4.176:8080/JsonReader/JsonReader");

//var response = await client.GetAsync("http://172.19.4.176:8080/JsonReader/JsonReader");

//var placesJson = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

if ( null != content)

{

rootObject = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(content);

}

return rootObject;

}

}

}
