Receiving data from Android in a ASP.NET web site

Question

I wrote an Android app that sends data to an ASP.NET web site. When I test the app, I get the error:

Connection to https://localhost:1863 refused.

How do I solve this problem? Also, how do I go about storing this data into SQL Server?

HttpClient client1 = new DefaultHttpClient();

HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://localhost:1863");

String lat = "lat",lng = "lng";

List<NameValuePair> postParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(3);
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("lat", lat));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("lng", lng));
try {
    request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParameters));
    UrlEncodedFormEntity formEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParameters);
    request.setEntity(formEntity);
    // request.addHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    HttpResponse response;
    response = client1.execute(request);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
    String line;
    String page = "";
    line = in.readLine();
    while (line != null)
    {
        page = page + line;
        line = in.readLine();
    }
}
catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} 
catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

You need to get the IP address of your server, rather than using localhost, since localhost is local to the calling computer, so the localhost for the Android is different than for the IIS server.

UPDATE:

Just use IP address 10.0.2.2, as explained in Stack Overflow question How to connect to my http://localhost web server from Android Emulator in Eclipse.

I made an ASP.NET handler page (.ashx), named it Handler, and replaced "http://localhost:1863"with"http://localhost:1863/Handler.ashx" and it solved the problem.
