org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://localhost refused in android

Question

I am making an application that uploads images to server and updates its database to server in android while executing it, it shows an error

Connection to http://localhost refused

and many more errors, I researched this problem and found instead of providing the URL connection

http://localhost/... provide the link as http://10.0.2.2/...

and I did so but the problem is same more error is here:

the code for file upload is:

public int uploadFile(ArrayList<String> sourceFileUri, String info, String latitude, String longitude, String id) throws IOException {
        try {
            HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2/deliverysystem/order/add");

            MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(
                    HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

            entity.addPart("returnformat", new StringBody("json"));
            System.out.println(sourceFileUri.size());
            for(int i=0;i<sourceFileUri.size();i++){
                String sourceFile = sourceFileUri.get(i);
                entity.addPart("uploaded_file"+(i+1), new FileBody(new File(sourceFile)));
            }

            entity.addPart("fld_delivery_id", new StringBody(id));
            entity.addPart("fld_delivery_location", new StringBody(info));
            entity.addPart("fld_latitude", new StringBody(latitude));
            entity.addPart("fld_longitude", new StringBody(longitude));
            httpPost.setEntity(entity);
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                            response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));

            String sResponse = reader.readLine();
            return 1;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            if (dialog.isShowing())
                dialog.dismiss();

            Log.e(e.getClass().getName(), e.getMessage(), e);
            return 1;
        }

       }

while debugging the code reaches up to:

httpPost.setEntity(entity);

and it shows exception after this line ie on this statement:

HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);

Could any one help me on this?

if you are using emulator to run your app for local server. mention the local ipas 10.0.2.2 and have to give Internet permission into your app :

<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> add this tag above into AndroidManifest.xml of your Android project ,and it will be ok.

http://localhost

The above host is already occupied by the emulator in which you are running the code. If you want to access the local host of your computer than use the IP Address as http://10.0.2.2:8080/.

For more details, please refer this link.

try adding the permission outside the application tag of the manifest in addition to the above mentioned answers of changing localhost to 10.0.2.2:8080

When you test with device you want to add your PC ip address.

in pc run in cmd Ipconfig

in ubuntu run terminal ifconfig

Then use "http://your_pc_ip_address:8080/register" insted of using "http://10.0.2.2:8080/register"

in my pc = 192.168.1.3

and also add internet permission to Manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

I am using PHP for webservice and Android 4.x. device for connecting to the webservice. I had similar problem where, using 10.0.2.2 worked well with emulator but failed to connect from device. The solution that worked for me is: Find IP of your computer ... say 192.168.0.103 Find the port of your apache ... say 8080 Now open httpd.conf and locate following line Listen 127.0.0.1:8080 After this line add following Listen 192.168.0.103:8080 Thats it. Now if you use 192.168.0.103:8080 in your android code, it will connect!!

I had the similar issue, then I found out that wifi was not connected in my smartphone. After I turned on the wifi and connected to the similar network (with my laptop), there was another issue - laptop's firewall was blocking incoming connections. Once I fixed the firewall, I was able to communicate from my android app with the web service running on the laptop.

One of the basic and simple thing which leads to this error is: No Internet Connection

Turn on the Internet Connection of your device first.

(May be we'll forget to do so)

Two solutions for this error:

1. add this permission in your androidManifest.xml of your Android project

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

2. Turn on the Internet Connection of your device first.

Has sense if you take in consideration that the genymotion run it in virtual machine, not embedded in your pc. But should be the ip, like `10.0.1.13` – jose920405 Jun 14 '16 at 14:48
