Please provide some code, it could be that your application is using the Main Thread, where Network Connections are not allowed. – Erdinc Ay Feb 23 '15 at 10:01

You must be accessing the web service on your local network (localhost). An emulator can access a localhost web service, but a real device cannot. To test the app on an actual device, you need to expose your web service through a public IP address (public URL).

`To test the app on an actual device, you need to expose your web service through a public IP address (public URL).`. No. If wifi is used and both sides are in the same network a local ip address will do. – greenapps Feb 23 '15 at 13:06

By `local network` I meant a `localhost`. The OP understood what I meant, as any seasoned web developer would. Wifi does not provide connectivity through a localhost IP address, did you ever think of that ? Please clarify your own concepts before you launch into a tirade. – Yash Sampat Feb 23 '15 at 13:10
