I am following a tutorial on connecting my android app to mySQL server. I am currently encountering an error that other post on StackOverflow cant solve, at least not for me.

The error is "java.net.SocketException: socket failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted)" which shows up both on the emulator and my physical device. Other relating topics on stackoverflow has suggested that I add the lines

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
to my AndroidManifest.xml then un-installing the application, to which I have but the error still persist.

As requested, the php signup used to connect the android app to the mySQL server
require "DataBase.php";
$db = new DataBase();
if (isset($_POST['fullname']) && isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) {
    if ($db->dbConnect()) {
        if ($db->signUp("users", $_POST['fullname'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['username'], $_POST['password'])) {
            echo "Sign Up Success";
        } else echo "Sign up Failed";
    } else echo "Error: Database connection";
} else echo "All fields are required";
database config file
class DataBaseConfig
    public $servername;
    public $username;
    public $password;
    public $databasename;
    public function __construct()
        $this->servername = '%';
        $this->username = 'test1';
        $this->password = 'n8wOs3tx@3d!TGJl';
        $this->databasename = 'test';
                Well an external php file was used to forward the data fields so im not sure if the problem exists there, if im told this code is good i would think that the php is the issue. The php file is based on "github.com/VishnuSivadasVS/Advanced-HttpURLConnection" @AymDev

Looking at my own code, I spelt android wrong in the Manifest.xml file
  <uses-permission android:name="andriod.permission.INTERNET" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
correction
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
