[mono-android] using emulator to test webclient

[John Murray]

Many thanks the two J's and Wally 
Much appreciated - jokingly thought the troll might get me :)
I find the emulator excruciatingly slow on an i5 machine with 4gb ram win 7
Any comments - ideas on speeding it up ?

Just to repeat I really appreciate several people who selflessly help out
even if the questions are sometimes naive
If anyone is around in this country - Hampshire England (that's old in both
cases!) and wants to cash in the beer vouchers I am offering in return just
email me

2 things to check:

- Make sure your application requests the INTERNET permission so it can 
access the internet.

- Sometimes people use 127.0.0.1 or localhost in their code, which 
doesn't work when running on a device with its own IP address.  Make 
sure you are using the network addressable IP address of the place where 
the internet service is running.
