I don't think you want to use sockets if the receiving end isn't setup to listen for them (in your case of www.google.com). If you want to communicate with http protocol, use a Http class. It may be possible to build your own HTTP reader using sockets, but there's already one available from standard Java SDK.
The second attempt to communicate with localhost also needs a receiving listener to work. Also if you are using an emulator to access your hosting computer, use 10.0.2.2 (see http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#localhostalias).
