Answer 1

I had the similar issue, then I found out that wifi was not connected in my smartphone. After I turned on the wifi and connected to the similar network (with my laptop), there was another issue - laptop's firewall was blocking incoming connections. Once I fixed the firewall, I was able to communicate from my android app with the web service running on the laptop.
