Android device won't connect to local server

Question

I made an app that connects to a php file. The code is working using the AVD without a problem. Now when I tried the app in my android device it force closes. My android device is connected through a wifi network. I'm using wamp server on windows 7.

I have pinpointed the problem but I cannot resolve it. I'm hoping one of you good guys can help me. This is my culprit (192.168.1.100 is the machines IP):

private static String url_all_products = "http://192.168.1.100/android_connect/get_all_products.php";

How can this be solved? 100% working in AVD but won't work in actual android device.

What happens if you type that address into your device's default browser? — NickT, Mar 15 '13 at 11:30
Try to open your url on device browser,check if is it working ? If its not working there, means your device is unable to connect to your local machine using wifi — Amitabh Sarkar, Mar 15 '13 at 11:35

I already tried that. To no avail. I've also been here: [link](http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#networkaddresses) – droidH Mar 15 '13 at 12:09

You need to check two things :

Your external IP address i.e if you are using windows use command "ipconfig" and get IPv4 address.
Check you permissions in AndroidManifest :

uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"

Also check : https://stackoverflow.com/a/16510143/644011

Do this:

first, put both your android device and your computer into the same network as described here
then, make your device connect directly to your computer via its IP in that network (find the IP as here)

Try to connect your mobile to the same network as your computer. I used virtual router to make my mobile in same network as my laptop
Then use ip address of your computer to access your computer web server from your mobile.
