Error in connecting with Php app in Android - php

Question

Here is my code to send the data from android app to php app which is running in my localhost. It is showing "Connection to http:// localhost refused" . Please help me
public void postData() throws JSONException
{
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://localhost/xampp/FeelSafeSecurity/connectiondemo.php");
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
try {
// prepare JSON data:
json.put("name", "santhosh");
json.put("age", "24");
JSONArray postjson=new JSONArray();
postjson.put(json);
// Post the data:
httppost.setHeader("json", json.toString());
httppost.getParams().setParameter("jsonpost",postjson);
// Execute HTTP Post Request
System.out.print(json);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
// for JSON:
if(response != null)
{
InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
text = sb.toString();
}
tv.setText(text);
}
catch (ClientProtocolException e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And here is my php code to receive the data. I'am new to PHP.
<?php
$json = $_SERVER['HTTP_JSON'];
echo "JSON: \n";
echo "--------------\n";
var_dump($json);
echo "\n\n";
$data = json_decode($json);
echo "Array: \n";
echo "--------------\n";
var_dump($data);
echo "\n\n";
echo "Result: \n";
echo "--------------\n";
echo "\n\nName : ".$data->name."\n\n Age : ".$data->age;
?>

Answer 1

Don't use localhost use your IP address. Localhost is only for the LOCAL server

Answer 2

localhost means the local machine on which the app executes. In your case either amdroid device or the emulator virtual machine. Neither of which is running your php server.
So, if you run this on device you must use the IP of the machine where php code is running.
If you are trying this on emulator and you host machine runs the php code then you might try 10.0.2.2 as described in emulator network addressing.
