I can test my app on a mobile phone but cant get emulator working. Ive tried emulators using SDK 17, 26 & 29 but it always hands when it get to

var data = URL(params[0]).readText()

it hangs(I used a debugger and when it runs the code it just never comes back, the code is in AsyncTask.doInBackground (I know it depreciated, I am doing tutorials). Any advice? The URL is

This works fine if I just do it in InteliJ.

I know URL is Java but the readText extension is. if it's not enough Kotlinly can someone point me to a good alternative place to ask question?
