Your rest url must be something like this - http://localhost:8080/yourRest/restMethod .
Instead of localhost url connect your mobile and local machine on same network(wifi network). Get the ip address of your local machine e.g 192.168.1.X ...so now your end point url for rest will be http://192.168.1.X:8080/yourRest/restMethod
