Tomcat not working on Localhost

I have an Android application that connects to a servlet in a Tomcat server.

I have Tomcat server coupled to eclipse.

The IP address indicated to the Android application to connect to the Tomcat servlet is 

http://10.0.2.2:8080/Middleware/UsuarioServlet

Why if I put 

http://localhost:8080/Middleware/UsuarioServlet

not work and gives an error? If I have installed Tomcat on the same machine should work with localhost too.

Localhost refers to the Android device in this case. Use the IP address 10.0.2.2 to refers to your development machine. Read more about here!

Because your Android application runs on virtual device, which has another IP in your local intranet, it isn't localhost.
