How to upload Image and Video file using HttpPost in android

I need to upload Image and Video File with multiple parameters like File Name, Description , Height and Width using HttpPost method.
Thanks,
Suggestion appreciated.

For uploading a file the efficient way is using HttpPost with multipart/form
Multipart/form The file contents are either stored in memory or temporarily on disk. In either case, the user is responsible for copying file contents to a session-level or persistent store as and if desired. The temporary storages will be cleared at the end of request processing
Refer this Upload Files from Android to a Website/Http Server using Post

try this code
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(URL);
MultipartEntity mpEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
//Path of the file to be uploaded
String filepath = params[0];
File file = new File(filepath);
ContentBody cbFile = new FileBody(file, SET_MIMETYPE);//"audio/basic"
try {
mpEntity.addPart(FILE_NAME, cbFile);
post.setEntity(mpEntity);
HttpResponse response1 = client.execute(post);
HttpEntity resEntity = response1.getEntity();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Sending images and videos to server in android

I am creating an android application for taking photos and videos. After capture images I want to send this image with date and some text to web server. In server side I am making an application with this pictures and videos. The image captured will be saved in memory card. How can I send image with text using JSON. Also I want to send Videos to the web server.

You can do this with a Multipart post request:(This way, you dont need to create json)
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(serverURL);
MultipartEntity postEntity = new MultipartEntity();
File file = new File("Your File path on SD card");
postEntity.addPart("fileupload", new FileBody(file, "image/jpeg"));
postEntity.addPart("loginKey", new StringBody(""+loginKey));
postEntity.addPart("message", new StringBody(message));
postEntity.addPart("token", new StringBody(token));
post.setEntity(postEntity);
response = client.execute(post);
You have to add this mime4j library.

try this to uplaod text ,image to server in asynctask
FileBody filebodyVideo = new FileBody(new File(
"Sd Card VideoPath"));
FileBody filebodyVideo1 = new FileBody(new File("Video Upload url"));
StringBody Title= new StringBody("Put Title Here");
StringBody description= new StringBody("Put Desc Here");
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
reqEntity.addPart("image", filebodyVideo);
multipartContent.addPart("Title", Title);
multipartContent.addPart("Description", description);
httppost.setEntity(multipartContent);

You can use this code in your asynctask:
File file = new File("Your File path on SD card");
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost("YourUrl");
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
entity.addPart("YourKey",new StringBody("Your Text"));
entity.addPart("File", new FileBody(file));
httpost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpost);

Recorded video using android doesn't play on Blobstore

I wrote the code to record a video on android, I upload it to the Blobstore, but no luck in getting it play either from the player on googleappengine or stream it on a web application however, I can read the video when I download it. Any idea ?? I thought of the encodings I am using or the video format(.mp4) or even more, the way i send the bytes to the blobstore. thank you.
here is the recording code:
mCamera = Camera.open();
path= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString();
Date date=new Date();
filename="/rec"+date.toString().replace(" ", "_").replace(":", "_")+".mp4";
//create empty file it must use
File file=new File(path,filename);
mrec = new MediaRecorder();
mCamera.lock();
mCamera.unlock();
mrec.setCamera(mCamera);
mrec.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT);
mrec.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
mrec.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.DEFAULT);
mrec.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.DEFAULT);
mrec.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mrec.setVideoFrameRate(20);
mrec.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder.getSurface());
mrec.setOutputFile(path+filename);
mrec.prepare();
mrec.start();
and here is the uploading code:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
//HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
File file = new File("/sdcard/"+videoName);
MultipartEntity mpEntity = new MultipartEntity();
ContentBody cbFile = new FileBody(file, "video/mp4");
mpEntity.addPart("videoFile", cbFile);
httppost.setEntity(mpEntity);
System.out.println("executing request " + httppost.getRequestLine());
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
the "url" parameter is the generated url from the blobstore in order to upload the media file, i guess blobstore users are familiar with it.

Try using OutputFormat.MPEG_4, VideoEncoder.H264 and AudioEncoder.AAC.

Android and IOUtils.toByteArray

I write app on android which will send xml file to PHP server. Here is my code:
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost postReq = new HttpPost("http://majkelsoftgames.cba.pl/ser/server.php");
byte[] data = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
InputStreamBody isb= new InputStreamBody(new ByteArrayInputStream(data), "file");
MultipartEntity multipartContent = new MultipartEntity();
multipartContent.addPart("file", isb);
postReq.setEntity(multipartContent);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(postReq);
My problem is that when
byte[] data = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
is executing I get:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils
I downloaded external commons-io.jar from http://commons.apache.org/io/ and added this jar to the java build path in android project. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong. Do you have any idea how can I fix it?

You added it to the build path, but did you place it in the /libs directory of youur project? That is the only way it will get added to your apk.
