Use the name of the hosting machine, like http://my-home-computer/i-want-to-visit-this-site...

You use the emulators to test your app on multiple devices, As such there should be no difference between running your code on a physical device as against an emulator. It's probably a good idea to create test web service for testing your app rather than using localhost, It can still be a locally installed web service running from your LAN. This will be a better test than using localhost.

However if you really do want to use localhost then simply reference it by it's machine name e.g. http://mymachine/mywebservice
