In android  how do I send a file data  from a mobile device to server using http

User · Answer

the most effective method is to use android-async-http

You can use this code to upload a file:

// gather your request parameters
File myFile = new File("/path/to/file.png");
RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
try {
    params.put("profile_picture", myFile);
} catch(FileNotFoundException e) {}

// send request
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.post(url, params, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] bytes) {
        // handle success response
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] bytes, Throwable throwable) {
        // handle failure response
    }
});

Note that you can put this code directly into your main Activity, no need to create a background Task explicitly. AsyncHttp will take care of that for you!

Wrap it all up in an Async task to avoid threading errors   public class AsyncHttpPostTask extends AsyncTask lt File  Void  String gt         private static final String TAG   AsyncHttpPostTask class getSimpleName        private String server       public AsyncHttpPostTask final String server            this server   server              Override     protected String doInBackground File    params            Log d TAG   doInBackground            HttpClient http   AndroidHttpClient newInstance  MyApp            HttpPost method   new HttpPost this server           method setEntity new FileEntity params 0    text plain             try               HttpResponse response   http execute method               BufferedReader rd   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader                      response getEntity   getContent                  final StringBuilder out   new StringBuilder                String line              try                   while   line   rd readLine       null                        out append line                                   catch  Exception e                    wr close                try                   rd close                  catch  IOException e                    e printStackTrace                                 final String serverResponse   slurp is               Log d TAG   serverResponse      out toString               catch  ClientProtocolException e                e printStackTrace              catch  IOException e                e printStackTrace                      return null
