    why don't you use the local ip address to connect to server? – ColdFire Jun 30 '12 at 15:07

    Not sure what you are asking there. But if your phone is on the same local network like your development server, then your phone can access your PC via its IP address or host name and the other way around. localhost is by the way an alias that points a network client to itself. – tiguchi Jun 30 '12 at 15:08

    @NobuGames and if i were on the same network , i just have to connect to the server via server's ip , nothing else? – Totti Jun 30 '12 at 15:09

    well, u used to connect to the local host via 10.0.2.2 in stead you can use the PC IP address to connect to the server as long as your phone and your PC are connected to the same network – ColdFire Jun 30 '12 at 15:10

    That is correct. Hostname resolution should work too – tiguchi Jun 30 '12 at 15:10

Firstly, check the URL and change the IP address from that of the local server to local IP address. Make sure that the mobile device is in the same network with the computer to access the script that fetches the API. Then service the request to get the results in terms of Javascript Object Notation (JSON).
