Assuming the server is legitimate, you basically see this problem because the certificate presented by the HTTPS server doesn't have a certificate chain that can be verified against one of the root certificates on the phone. It may be possible to download and install a new (additional) root authority certificate on the phone (I don't know if this is possible on Android -- it isn't on some phones). If not, or if you want a "fix" that doesn't require actions on the part of the user, you can either tell the HTTPS protocol to not verify the server's cert (not particularly dangerous if the trusted URL is hardwired into your app), or you can include a suitable root cert in your application and give that to the HTTPS protocol for its use. (I'm not familiar with how precisely you do these things on Android.)
