It's used to connect to a server on your local machine running on port 8080 Type that into your browser and it will send a request to your server. You can do whatever you want with it

Port 8080 is reserved for an apache tomcat server. So if you want to run an apachr tomcat server on your machine, that is the way to access it. A server is nothing else than the stuff that answers you if you type google.com

Not sure if it helps but I'll tell you how I use it on my laptop... I used to program in PHP a lot and that is a language that the browser never sees as it's "translated" by the server into pure HTML, CSS, ... So I basically installed WAMP Server which has Apache, MySQL and PHP support, I pasted my files in the root folder and used it to test the scripts before uploading. But localhost itself is only a "reference" to your server, I've created servers in python that run in 127.0.0.1 and also made Apache run in different names than localhost. For your mobile depends on the usage you want to do but I'm pretty sure you can find cool things in play store...
