I implemented a web service for an Android application. The web service is running on my local host (192.168.1.2). Using the Android emulator I succeeded to connect to web service. The I tried to connect my Android device using debugging mode to web service but it didn't work. So my question is if it is possible to connect an Android device to this web service that is running on my local host (192.168.1.2) without using a real IP ?

You can access your host machine with the IP address "10.0. 2.2". This has been designed in this way by the Android team. So your webserver can perfectly run at localhost and from your Android app you can access it via "http://10.0.2.2:8080".
On your mobile device's browser (any will work), navigate to http://<Local IP Address>:<port number> . For example, if I was serving on localhost:8080 and my local IP address is 123.45. 67.890, on my mobile device's browser I would navigate to http://123.45.67.890:8080 . The http:// is important, don't leave it off.
To access the server from itself, use http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ . To access the server from a separate computer on the same network, use http://192.168.X.X where X.X is your server's local IP address. You can find the sever's local IP address (assuming it's Linux) by running hostname -I . 127.0.
chrome://inspect/#devices 
localhost:61437 and I just linked it to device's 8081 port. Remeber to check 'Enable port forwarding' checkbox
screen from service on my computer ( localhost:61437 ) 
screen from my mobile browser with the same service ( localhost:8081). And that's it. Also you use this service address in your application
