Answer 1

Your Android emulator's localhost will be the Android emulator itself. You will need to connect to your webservice using the actual IP address of your machine. If you are running your webservices using the VS host, keep in mind that it will not serve to non-local addresses by default.

Answer 2

Host that service in your IIS

then call by HTTP methods with url like

http://localhost(or Ip address)/Urservicename.svc/ServicefunctionName
