Android : JDBC/MYSQL Communications link failure (ECLIPSE/ANDROID)

i've been trying to make a simple hello world app that uses jdbc to query mysql and retrieve/println results.

Im using this tutorial from tutorials point adopted to android code:

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jdbc/jdbc-sample-code.htm

Here is my adopted version:

package com.example.myfirstapp0006;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import java.sql.*;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    // JDBC driver name and database URL
    static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
    static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/EMP";

    // Database credentials
    static final String USER = "username";
    static final String PASS = "password";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Connection conn = null;
        Statement stmt = null;
        try{
            // STEP 2: Register JDBC driver
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

            // STEP 3: Open a connection
            System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USER,PASS);

            // STEP 4: Execute a query
            System.out.println("Creating statement...");
            stmt = conn.createStatement();
            String sql;
            sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees";
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

            // STEP 5: Extract data from result set
            while(rs.next()) {
                // Retrieve by column name
                int id = rs.getInt("id");
                int age = rs.getInt("age");
                String first = rs.getString("first");
                String last = rs.getString("last");

                // Display values
                System.out.println("ID: " + id);
                System.out.println(", Age: " + age);
                System.out.println(", First: " + first);
                System.out.println(", Last: " + last);
            }

            // STEP 6: Clean-up environment
            rs.close();
            stmt.close();
            conn.close();
        }catch(SQLException se){
            //Handle errors for JDBC
            se.printStackTrace();
        }catch(Exception e){
            //Handle errors for Class.forName
            e.printStackTrace();
        }finally{
            //finally block used to close resources
            try{
                if(stmt != null)
                    stmt.close();
            }catch(SQLException se){
                se.printStackTrace();
            }//end finally try
        }//end try
        System.out.println("Goodbye!");
    }//end onCreate

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

}//end MainActivity

Im getting these errors:

Any clues on that?
