Android UnknownHostException with .local host

I experience a problem in my android app and wonder if you know a solution. I use HttpUrlConnection and if i connect to the host myhost.local (via http and https both is possible) everything works just fine. But if I want to connect to the host myhost I get following exception:

java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host insert_host_here: No address associated with hostname

If I use the browser on my phone both myhost.local and my myhost can be accessed. And if I type $ host myhost into terminal i get following answer

user@machine:$ host myhost.local myhost.local has address 192.168.0.115 user@machine:$ host myhost myhost.local has address 192.168.0.115

There is no proxy in between or something. Its the direct answer from the dns. Some idea what it could be?
