I'm currently in the final stages of developing my Android application on Android studio. Built the APK files to run them on a device seperate to one of the Android studio emulators. I went with Andy android emulator. I installed the APK but when I tried to log in i.e. connect to the server I got an unknown host exception as follows:
System.err: java.net.UnknownHostException: http://point_collector.netau.net/FetchData.php

I have the correct INTERNET persmission in my android manifest file as the permission are all coming up in the application settings in android. I did some research and found that it could be down to an underscore in my URL? Can anybody offer some help?
Thanks
