How to access local virtualhost with android device

Question

i setup few virtualhosts on my laptop, and all of them are name based for example :

  www.example1.dev
  www.example2.dev
  ...

and i want to access them with my real android device using USB cable. and im already conncted to same wifi network as well.

but everytime i try to access one of my virtualhost from my android device i get address not found i also checked this question How can I access my localhost from my Android device? but its related to ip address while im using name based virtualhost

this is one of my virtual host setup that im trying to accessing it from my android device:

/etc/apache2/sites-avaliable/examplesite1.dev.conf :

<VirtualHost *:80>

    <Directory /var/www/examplesite1>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    
    ServerName examplesite1.dev.com
    ServerAlias www.examplesite1.dev.com
    
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/examplesite1


    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

and /etc/hosts :

127.0.0.1   examplesite1.dev.com
192.168.250.1   examplesite1.dev.com
192.168.1.51    examplesite1.dev.com

You can get access to the local host via:

http://192.168.1.1/{{service end points}}

it will help you to access the localhost from your mobile
