Why I am getting the HttpHostConnectException

Question

I am using the following code in android virtual Machine

 try{
       HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
       HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2/ReadingFromServer.php");
       httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
       HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
       HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
       is = entity.getContent();
       }catch(Exception e){
           Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection"+e.toString());
      }

I am getting the HttpHostConnectException. Dont know why? I have changed the address in the url from 127.0.0.1 to 10.0.2.2 but still getting that exception. I have wamp server installed in my computer and the file "ReadingFromServer.php" is placed in "www" folder.

Here is the complete stack trace

Solution 1

Did you declare the Internet permission in the AndroidManifest.xml?

You need to put the following into the AndroidManifest.xml

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

Solution 2

internet permission to your application by adding this under manifest tag in your AndroidManifest.xml

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

otherwise Android will block internet traffic from your app
