My code looks like the given example:

 console.log('In function...'); 

 ReactNativeEos.setUrl('http', 'localhost', 8888);

    actionData = {
      "from": "user1",
      "to": "user2",
      "quantity": "10.0000 TOK",
      "memo": "fast?"
    }
    ReactNativeEos.pushAction('eosio.token','transfer', JSON.stringify(actionData),'user1','active',
    '5KAgVzQrY8qzqS7rfzxmjWhaHUSQgn6DpruaqopWEqUJEz7Wb1d');

I was also getting the #2 error when I log the pushAction response. I solved it by removing the logging, but I still get Failed to connect error. Any help ?
