Answer 1

Have you added Internet permission to your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Answer 2

The error was being thrown because of an error in the URL. The URL needed my IP address to function properly rather than the URL i was providing because that the webservice was not able to understand.

Answer 3

Depending on what KSOAP2 version you are using error may vary.
Its recommend that use KSOAP2 v3+ lib.
Simply use following code to override...
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
and also use...
