Webservice call from android says permission denied

Question

I have a web service in .net and I call it from android in localhost. It is to show a string in emulator display but it's not working. It shows access denied in the emulator.

SoapTestActivity.java

package com.sample;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

import org.ksoap2.*;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapPrimitive;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.*;



public class SoapTestActivity extends Activity {
    TextView result;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        result = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.result);

        final String NAMESPACE = "http://sample.com/";
        final String METHOD_NAME = "SayHello";    
        final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://sample.com/SayHello";
        final String URL = "http://192.168.1.108/WebService1/Service1.asmx";

        try {
            SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);            
            SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
            envelope.dotNet = true;
            envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

            HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
            androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
            SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive)envelope.getResponse();
            String resultValue = response.toString();

            result.setText(resultValue);           
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            result.setText(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

manifest.xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.sample"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.sample.SoapTestActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

the url shown i the firefox browser is

http://localhost:5460/Service1.asmx

no error is there. app is running but , emulator displays "permission denied" — sadab, Dec 07 '13 at 11:52
dont know exactly but look like response is from server (as you caught exception and display it in textview). so check if need to grant permission at server side to call Webservice — Kalpesh Lakhani, Dec 07 '13 at 11:57
yes.. is there any changes in URL i have to make while running in localhost — sadab, Dec 07 '13 at 11:59
