what could be causing a 502 error?

I am trying to run the app on my physical nexus 5 from android studio.

In the logcat im getting: "Unsuccessful HTTP Response Code: 502" what could be causing this? any ideas on where to look for a solution?

Well a HTTP error code of 5xx is related to server errors.

Description: 502 Bad Gateway The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server.

I would first check the server, as the application is communicating with the server or else you wouldn't get the response code.
