Fetch, Axios not working on Android KitKat Emulator

[sanjeevyadavIT]

Description

I am trying to make an https request either using fetch or axios library on Android Kitkat(Api level 17) and I am getting network error. I am unable to make a network call.

This is the url I'm trying to hit

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1

NOTE: I'm not trying to hit local server or http server, I'm hitting a https server that is hosted on internet
