Uploading pictures with additional data to php

I want to upload a photo from the phone with some data like name and email.
From an Android device I know how to upload a photo and I know how to send data between the phone and the server but how do you do both at the same time?
Should I do them separately?

In your case you should use the MultipartEntity class,
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
reqEntity.addPart("name", new StringBody(name));
reqEntity.addPart("email", new StringBody(email));
if(imagePath.trim().length() != 0) {
reqEntity.addPart("profilePic", new FileBody(new File(imagePath)));
}
HttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost postMethod = new HttpPost(urlString);
HttpEntity resEntity;
HttpResponse response = null;
postMethod.setEntity(reqEntity);
response = hc.execute(postMethod);
resEntity = response.getEntity();
response_str = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);

Upload image from android to python appengine blobstore

I have struggled for quite some time to upload photo images from android to python appengine
This is what I have tried, in Android:
void apachePost() throws Exception {
File image = new File("/sdcard/image.jpg");
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://clockinapple.appspot.com/upload");
try {
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
entity.addPart("type", new StringBody("photo"));
entity.addPart("data", new FileBody(image));
httppost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
Log.v(Constants.DATA, "received http response " + response);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e){
}
}
In appengine:
class UserPhoto(db.Model):
user = db.StringProperty()
blob_key = blobstore.BlobReferenceProperty()
class UploadHandler(blobstore_handlers.BlobstoreUploadHandler):
def post(self):
upload = self.get_uploads()[0]
user_photo = UserPhoto(user="test", blob_key=upload.key())
db.put(user_photo)
return user_photo.key()
My logged server error is "Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE (java 1.4)"
I assume the headers are incorrect - I have tried many variations
Some of the links are have tried:
Ika Lan's snippet
tacticalnuclearstrike blog
I would really appreciate any help, I don't seem to be asking the right questions atm

This is what I have that works (Changed to a HttpGet), the Android code:
void apachePost(String url, String filename) throws Exception {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse urlResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
String result = EntityUtils.toString(urlResponse.getEntity());
Uri fileUri = Uri.parse(filename); // Gets the Uri of the file in the sdcard
File file = new File(new URI(fileUri.toString())); // Extracts the file from the Uri
FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(file, "multipart/form-data");
StringBody stringBody = new StringBody("Arghhh");
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
entity.addPart("file", fileBody);
entity.addPart("string", stringBody);
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(result);
httpPost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
response.getStatusLine();
Log.v(Constants.DATA, "received http response " + response);
Log.v(Constants.DATA, "received http entity " + entity);
}
The Appengine Code:
class GetBlobstoreUrl(BaseHandler):
def get(self):
upload_url = blobstore.create_upload_url('/upload/')
logging.debug(upload_url)
self.response.out.write(upload_url)
class UploadHandler(blobstore_handlers.BlobstoreUploadHandler):
def post(self):
upload_files = self.get_uploads('file')
text_files = self.get_uploads('string')
blob_info = upload_files[0]
user_info = "text_files"
photo = clockin.UserPhoto(blob_key=blob_info.key(), user=user_info)
photo.put()
One thing that eludes me is what happened to the "entity.addPart("string", stringBody);"
it doesnt seem part of get_uploads in the blobstore object

Android File Upload Using HTTP PUT

I have a web service which requires me to send file data to HTTP url with PUT request. I know how to do that but in Android I don't know it.
The API docs gives a sample request.
PUT /images/upload/image_title HTTP/1.1
Host: some.domain.com
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:56:34 GMT
X-SE-Client: test-account
X-SE-Accept: xml
X-SE-Auth: 90a6d325e982f764f86a7e248edf6a660d4ee833
bytes data goes here
I have written some code but it gives me error.
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPut request = new HttpPut(Host + "images/upload/" + Name + "/");
request.addHeader("Date", now);
request.addHeader("X-SE-Client", X_SE_Client);
request.addHeader("X-SE-Accept", X_SE_Accept);
request.addHeader("X-SE-Auth", Token);
request.addHeader("X-SE-User", X_SE_User);
// I feel here is something wrong
File f = new File(Path);
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(
HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
entity.addPart("photo", new FileBody(f));
request.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);
HttpEntity resEntityGet = response.getEntity();
String res = EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet);
Is there something wrong I am doing?

try something similar to
try {
URL url = new URL(Host + "images/upload/" + Name + "/");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("PUT");
// etc.
} catch (Exception e) { //handle the exception !}
EDIT - another and better option:
Using the built-in HttpPut is recommended - examples see http://massapi.com/class/org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpPut.java.html
EDIT 2 - as requested per comment:
Use setEntity method with for example new FileEntity(new File(Path), "binary/octet-stream"); as param before calling execute to add a file to the PUT request.

The following code works fine for me:
URI uri = new URI(url);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(uri);
File file = new File(filename);
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
ContentBody body = new FileBody(file, "image/jpeg");
entity.addPart("userfile", body);
post.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(post);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();

to upload video to a php server through android

This is what I am doing to upload a video to a server:
email
gameId
source
uploadedfile
are the parameters that have to be sent. email, gameId and source are string values,
whereas uploadedfile is the filebody to be uploaded.
Running this code gives response error0.
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
String postURL = GlobalConfig.url+"uploadBlogData.php";
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(postURL);
FileBody bin = new FileBody(file);
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
reqEntity.addPart("email", new StringBody(GlobalConfig.pref.getString(GlobalConfig.KEY_User_Emailid,""), "text/plain", Charset.forName( "UTF-8")));
reqEntity.addPart("gameId", new StringBody(GlobalConfig.pref.getString(
GlobalConfig.KEY_Game_Created_id,
""), "text/plain", Charset.forName( "UTF-8")));
reqEntity.addPart("source", new StringBody("phone", "text/plain", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
reqEntity.addPart("uploadfile", bin);
post.setEntity(reqEntity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
Log.d("resP",GlobalConfig.getStringFromResponse(response));
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();

android httpclient

How to transfer a 50mb file to web server using httppost.
When trying to transfer the file it shows out of memory error.
can we use chuncked encoding? how? give some code snippets.
Thank you.
Edit:
Here's the code:
InputStreamEntity reqEntity = new InputStreamEntity(new FileInputStream(f), -1);
reqEntity.setContentType("binary/octect-stream");
reqEntity.setChunked(true);
httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);

Use InputStreamEntity as it does not load the whole file in memory. Do something like this:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://localhost/upload");
File file = new File("/path/to/myfile");
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
InputStreamEntity reqEntity = new InputStreamEntity(fileInputStream, file.length());
httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);
reqEntity.setContentType("binary/octet-stream");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity responseEntity = response.getEntity();
if (responseEntity != null) {
responseEntity.consumeContent();
}
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
