Answer 1

You're attempting to connect to localhost , which means the android device itself. You are probably running your web service on a desktop within the same local network that you're testing on, so you will need to access the web service via the IP of your machine.

In windows, open up cmd.exe, run ipconfig and then find your IPv4 address, then replace localhost with that.

It should look something like, placing 192.168.1.2 with your IP:

private static String url = "http://192.168.1.2:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary/Service1/GetDataUsingDataContract";

Answer 2

首先，您必须在 IIS 中部署您的服务，而不是将 localhost 更改为 10.0.2.2:Yourport
