Connecting my rest API with Android Studio using Retrofit by emulator

Question

I have two questions:

Why am I getting null for the URL?
Am I connecting my localhost to my Android Studio emulator correctly?

If not then how can I connect my Android Studio to my local host?

MainActivity.java

import retrofit.Call;
import retrofit.Callback;
import retrofit.GsonConverterFactory;
import retrofit.Response;
import retrofit.Retrofit;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    String url = "http://10.0.2.2:8000/";
    TextView  text_name_1, text_city_1 ;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


        text_name_1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_name_1);
        text_name_1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_city_1);
        Button ButtonArray= (Button) findViewById(R.id.RetrofitArray);
        ButtonArray.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                View VisibleArray = findViewById(R.id.RetrofitArray);
                VisibleArray.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                getRetrofitArray();
            }
        });

    }


    void getRetrofitArray() {

        Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(url)
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .build();

        RetrofitArrayAPI service = retrofit.create(RetrofitArrayAPI.class);

        Call<List<Healthinfo>> call = service.getHealthDetails();

        call.enqueue(new Callback<List<Healthinfo>>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Response<List<Healthinfo>> response, Retrofit retrofit) {

                try {

                    List<Healthinfo> StudentData = response.body();

                    for (int i = 0; i < StudentData.size(); i++) {

                        if (i == 0) {
                            text_name_1.setText("UserName  :  " + StudentData.get(i). getUsername());
                            text_city_1.setText("city  : " + StudentData.get(i).getCity());
                        }
                    }


                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.d("onResponse", "There is an error");
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
                Log.d("onFailure", t.toString());
            }
        });
    }
}

RetorfitArrayAPI

import retrofit.http.GET;
public interface RetrofitArrayAPI {

    /*
     * Retrofit get annotation with our URL
     * And our method that will return us details of student.
    */

    @GET("/try/salma/123")
    Call<List<Healthinfo>> getHealthDetails();

}

I have already checked my REST API in postman and I am getting the following output:

[{"user_id":"8","username":"salma","email":"salma@hotmail.com","birthday":"2017-01-12","gender":"","skills":"","country":"Pak","city":"Peshawar","number":"8967","password":"123","cpassword":"123","img":""}]

I am getting the following error in my Android emulator:

Please try to provide context with your answer. A standalone answer may solve a problem in this specific scenario, but an explanation may solve many future problems. Try to include what you think is causing the issue and why your answer will solve it. – Newd Jan 20 '17 at 14:55
@fahadpirzada You are right, you can't connect to server from local net. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5224474/how-can-an-android-virtual-device-use-the-local-computers-internet – Sergey Voloshyn Jan 20 '17 at 18:55
