Hi, I recently wrote a backend with ktor, now I'm running it locally on http://localhost:8080 and trying to call it with retrofit, but I'm getting failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:8080 when usins "http://localhost:8080" as the base URL. How do I setup the thing?

Use http://10.0.2.2 instead

To expand on the previous response, 10.0.2.2 is the address of your computer as seen by a simulator. On a real device on the same network, you want to find out the computer's address on the network.
