Android 9 and newer disable http connections by default, so if you want to allow http connections you can add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to the application tag in AndroidManifest.xml

Or if you don't want to allow all http traffic, but just a few urls, check security-config docs: https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-config#CleartextTrafficPermitted
