did you try localhost? as the address (or 127.0.0.1)

 I am trying to develop an Android app that connects to a tomcat web

 In my host file on my windows dev machine I have the service's URL
 defined and tomcat running, however when i try to load the page it
 says it cannot find it. I read that the Android emulator is not setup
 to use the host file. Is there a way I can get it to use the host
 file, or add the url entry to android so it will connect to the server
 hosted on the same machine the emulator is hosted on.

your best bet at this point would be to run a DNS cache on your machine that
reads your HOSTS file
then use the -dns-server option to make the emulated system connect to it.
