Re: [android-developers] Call a service hosted in a windows service from Android

It should work fine using localhost for the service address. Just use
the real IP address of your machine when calling the service from Android.

Are you calling it from the emulator or from a cell phone? How are you
connected to your PC from your Android app? I just want to be sure I am
understanding what you are doing. If I understand correctly, your WCF
service is on your PC and you can access it using your browser (also on
your PC) using localhost. When you call the WCF service from Android you
are not finding it, or it's not returning. If that's the case then from
a Windows command line prompt do "ipconfig /all", find your machines IP
address (in my case it's 192.168.1.103 and use that instead of localhost
when you are calling the service from your Android app.

If I'm misunderstanding, please clarify :).

Good luck.
