Custom server response instead of OK . Android file upload

i'm creating an android application which upload files to web server . my code is working successfully but i'm getting server response message "OK" but i want it "success" or something else which i write on php echo but I am not sure how to do that... my php script is
<?php
$file_path = "uploads/";
$file_path = $file_path . basename( $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $file_path) ){
echo "success";
} else{
echo "fail";
}
?>
and my code is...
public int uploadFile(String sourceFileUri) {
final String fileName = sourceFileUri;
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
DataOutputStream dos = null;
String lineEnd = "\r\n";
String twoHyphens = "--";
String boundary = "*****";
int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
long sentBytes=0;
byte[] buffer;
int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
File sourceFile = new File(sourceFileUri);
if (!sourceFile.isFile()) {
dialog.dismiss();
Log.e("uploadFile", "Source File not exist :"+filePath);
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
messageText.setText("Source File not exist :"+filePath);

});
return 0;

Improve this question
I have checked many questions and answers for uploading data to a remote server but most are using HttpClient which has been deprecated.
I'm trying to upload a simple sqlite db file which can later be downloaded and restored on app reinstall.
I know I should use Volley library but I only know how to work with JSONObject and not files. Please help out.
Note: The file is already copied to my external storage.

try this code..
public int uploadFile(String sourceFileUri) {

this is php code :
<?php

$file_path = $file_path . basename( $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file'] ['tmp_name'], $file_path)) {
echo "success";
} else{
echo "fail";
}
?>
for more details try this example.

You have to create a VolleyMultipartRequest. You can find a sample implementation at Working POST Multipart Request with Volley and without HttpEntity
You need to enter your file type when you create your DataPart while overriding the getByteData() method.

Use a AsyncTask instead of runOnUiThread to execute your network operations, because Service don't have UI Thread.

Upload Document Android App - Android Studio

I am developing an app in android studio. I need to write code for a document to be uploaded. For instance, a user logs in and has the option to upload a document or other sort of file. I am pretty new to mobile development so I searched the internet and didn't find much.

you can use this code:
public int uploadFile(String sourceFileUri) {
String fileName = sourceFileUri;
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
DataOutputStream dos = null;
String lineEnd = "\r\n";
String twoHyphens = "--";
String boundary = "*****";
int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
byte[] buffer;
int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
File sourceFile = new File(sourceFileUri);
if (!sourceFile.isFile()) {
dialog.dismiss();
Log.e("uploadFile", "Source File not exist :"
+uploadFilePath + "" + uploadFileName);
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
messageText.setText("Source File not exist :"
+uploadFilePath + "" + uploadFileName);
}
});
return 0;
}
else
{
try {

when conn.setChunkedStreamingMode(1024) is used no data is received at server side

When i use conn.setChunkedStreamingMode(1024) the program runs and uploads files but the uploaded file is not available (not found) on the uploads folder.
When i remove setchunk.... line the file uploads successfully and gets saved inside server folder.
Main aim of using conn.setChunkedStreamingMode was to make my android app upload large file greater than 16MB
Some one please help me with this OUTOFMEMORY error
or
suggest some other way to upload large files from android app.

If you are using your own Server side option like PHP ensure you are have set the right options like max_execution_time and max_upload_size
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize
max_execution_time
