When you try to connect with a server via HTTP, you got the exception like below

Cannot send data to the server
    java.net.UnknownServiceException: CLEARTEXT communication to 192.168.1.175 not permitted by network security policy

W/vbcc-tag: Cannot send data to the server

The cause of title problem is that it’s required to add special security policy if the application connects to the server via HTTP instead of HTTPS protocol.

Solution #1: Use HTTPS instead of HTTP

Using encrypted transfer protocol is recommended way of communication between android application and server. It means that you should configure server to use encrypted traffic. How? It depends on whtat exactly server do you use, but just google “server name https configuration”

Solution #2: Add exception to the security policy

Add src\main\res\xml\network_security_config.xml with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">your domain or ip address</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

Then register policy file in AndroidManifest.xml by setting the android:networkSecurityConfig attribute.

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
