USB doesn't provide network to mobile device. If it's connected to your wifi, then hit your laptop address provided by the router. If it's connected to your mobile network, then first find out your router external IP address, then forward some port to that 10.0.2.2:portno and finally you'll be able to see that server from your device.

It is very simple
Turn on Wifi Hotspot of your android phone and connect your Laptop with your phone.
