Android connection refused to http://localhost

This time I will share an experience in creating Android Application that accesses a web service with PHP script using Apache Web Server.When I make a connection to the Apache Web Server, I am using XAMPP on my notebook. Android application will refuse connection to http://localhost, it same when i make a connection to http://127.0.0.1

After I was browsing on the internet, I found that android application have loopback to itself, one simple solution is to connect the LAN port of your notebook to a Network or a Switch Hub, so you can setting your IP Address to a web server, eg http://192.168.0.1
