org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://localhost refused in android

Question

I am making an application that uploads images to server and updates its database to server in android while executing it, it shows an error

Connection to http://localhost refused 

and many more errors, I researched this problem and found instead of providing the URL connection

http://localhost/... provide the link as http://10.0.2.2/... 

and I did so but the problem is same more error is here:

the code for file upload is:

public int uploadFile(ArrayList<String> sourceFileUri, String info, String latitude, String longitude, String id) throws IOException {
        try {
            HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2/deliverysystem/order/add");

            MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(
                    HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

            entity.addPart("returnformat", new StringBody("json"));
            System.out.println(sourceFileUri.size());
            for(int i=0;i<sourceFileUri.size();i++){
                String sourceFile = sourceFileUri.get(i);
                entity.addPart("uploaded_file"+(i+1), new FileBody(new File(sourceFile)));
            }

            entity.addPart("fld_delivery_id", new StringBody(id));
            entity.addPart("fld_delivery_location", new StringBody(info));
            entity.addPart("fld_latitude", new StringBody(latitude));
            entity.addPart("fld_longitude", new StringBody(longitude));
            httpPost.setEntity(entity);
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                            response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));

            String sResponse = reader.readLine();
            return 1;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            if (dialog.isShowing())
                dialog.dismiss();

            Log.e(e.getClass().getName(), e.getMessage(), e);
            return 1;
        }

       }

while debugging the code reaches up to:

httpPost.setEntity(entity);

and it shows exception after this line ie on this statement:

HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);

Could any one help me on this?

if you are using emulator to run your app for local server. mention the local ipas 10.0.2.2 and have to give Internet permission into your app :

<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
