I am working on an app that allows the user upload an image by using HttpPost method. I use MultipartEntity and therefore I added the libraries apache-mime4j-0.6.1.jar, httpclient-4.3.1.jar, httpcore-4.3.1.jar and httpmime-4.2.1.jar into my app. My upload code is like below:
public String uploadFile() throws Exception
{
String result = "";
try
{
HttpResponse response = null;
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(_url);
request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
File file=new File(filePath);
String fileName=file.getName();
MultipartEntity imageEntity=new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE,null,Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
imageEntity.addPart("imageName", new StringBody(fileName));
imageEntity.addPart("image", new FileBody(file, "application/octet-stream"));
request.setEntity(imageEntity);
response = httpClient.execute(request);
InputStream dataStream = response.getEntity().getContent();
BufferedReader dataReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(dataStream));
String line = "";
while ((line = dataReader.readLine()) != null)
result+=line;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
return result;
}
I get response from my server but in my web service code Request.Files has no file. If I change the line:
MultipartEntity imageEntity=new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE,null,Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
to
MultipartEntity imageEntity=new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
app is in process for a long time (about 3-4 minutes) and throws error. This is caused if I add an image. If I send only StringBody without FileBody, I get response from server and Request.Files in my webservice code return file count correctly. How can I fix this problem and upload image correctly? Any suggestion?

I use this code that i found in some page but I only can upload images from my android application to the server and is working, but when i upload a video(.mp4) its saved as "file" like unknown.
public void upload() throws Exception {
//Url of the server
String url = "";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
MultipartEntity mpEntity = new MultipartEntity();
//Path of the file to be uploaded
String filepath = "";
File file = new File(filepath);
ContentBody cbFile = new FileBody(file);
//Add the data to the multipart entity
mpEntity.addPart("image", cbFile);
mpEntity.addPart("name", new StringBody("Test", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
mpEntity.addPart("data", new StringBody("This is test report", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
post.setEntity(mpEntity);
//Execute the post request
HttpResponse response1 = client.execute(post);
//Get the response from the server
HttpEntity resEntity = response1.getEntity();
String Response=EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);
Log.d("Response:", Response);
//Generate the array from the response
JSONArray jsonarray = new JSONArray("["+Response+"]");
JSONObject jsonobject = jsonarray.getJSONObject(0);
//Get the result variables from response
String result = (jsonobject.getString("result"));
String msg = (jsonobject.getString("msg"));
//Close the connection
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
}
There is any way to make this work to upload videos too?
There is not issue with this code works fine for upload videos and images, the problem was i´m missing the file extension in the name, so when the video was uploaded it should be NAME.EXTENSION not only NAME.
NOTE:
For all the people who is trying to upload a large(2MB-10GB) image or video to the server the only solution i found was encode the file in chunks and upload each chunk to the server, from there you only have to encode the chunks again. NO SIZE LIMITATION :)!!!!
I am trying to upload an image to server.For that I have added jar files like apache-mime4j,http client,httpcore and httpmime.
And my code is as follows..
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
MultipartEntity multiPart = new MultipartEntity();
multiPart.addPart("my_picture", new FileBody(new File(imagePath.toString())));
httpPost.setEntity(multiPart);
HttpResponse res = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
String json = reader.readLine();
JSONTokener tokener = new JSONTokener(json);
JSONObject object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(json).nextValue();
JSONArray data = object.getJSONArray("data");
System.out.println("posted finalResult"+data);
if (responseEntity != null) {
responseEntity.consumeContent();
}
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
The problem is that I am getting an error at the line
multiPart.addPart("my_picture", new FileBody(new File(imagePath.toString())));
And on clicking that error I am getting "Configure build path".
Anyone please tell me what is wrong in my code.
Thanx in advance.
I'm trying to upload images to my rails server from Android. All my other data uploads, but I get a "Error invalid body size" error. It has to do with the image. Below is my code. Help?!
public void post(String url) {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.addHeader("content_type","image/jpeg");
try {
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
entity.addPart("picture_file_name", new StringBody("damage.jpg"));
File file = new File((imageUri.toString()));
entity.addPart("picture", new FileBody(file, "image/jpeg"));
httpPost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I've tried removing the browser compatible parameter, but it doesn't help. my image is being stored as an URI called imageUri. I'm using paperclip gem.
thanks!
This is how I solved.
MultipartEntity multipartEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
for (NameValuePair nameValuePair : nameValuePairs) {
if (nameValuePair.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("picture")) {
File imgFile = new File(nameValuePair.getValue());
FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(imgFile, "image/jpeg");
multipartEntity.addPart("post[picture]", fileBody);
} else {
multipartEntity.addPart("post[" + nameValuePair.getName() + "]", new StringBody(nameValuePair.getValue()));
}
}
httpPost.setEntity(multipartEntity);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, httpContext);
This will produce a POST like this:
{"post"=>{"description"=>"fhgg", "picture"=>#<ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0x00000004a6de08 #original_filename="IMG_20121211_174721.jpg", #content_type="image/jpeg", #headers="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"post[picture]\"; filename=\"IMG_20121211_174721.jpg\"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpeg\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n", #tempfile=#<File:/tmp/RackMultipart20121211-7101-3vq9wh>>}}
In the rails application your model attributes must have the same name you use in your request
, so in my case
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :description, :user_id, :picture
has_attached_file :picture # Paperclip stuff
...
end
I have also disabled the CSRF token from the rails application.
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

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
I've been looking into this for the last day or two and can not seem to find a solution to my issue. I am trying to post an image to a server using httppost.
I have tried two ways of doing this and both complete the post but with no content i.e. the content length is 0.
The first is as follows:
String url = "MYURL";
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
try {
httpClient.getParams().setParameter("http.socket.timeout", new Integer(90000)); // 90 second
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
File SDCardRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File file = new File(SDCardRoot,"/DCIM/100MSDCF/DSC00004.jpg");
FileEntity entity;
entity = new FileEntity(file,"binary/octet-stream");
entity.setChunked(true);
post.setEntity(entity);
post.addHeader("Header", "UniqueName");
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(post);
if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
Log.e("Here","--------Error--------Response Status line code:"+response.getStatusLine());
}else {
// Here every thing is fine.
}
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
if (resEntity == null) {
Log.e("Here","---------Error No Response!!-----");
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("Here","---------Error-----"+ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
httpClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
}
and the second is:
String url = "MYURL";
//File SDCardRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"/DCIM/100MSDCF/DSC00004.jpg");
try {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
InputStreamEntity reqEntity = new InputStreamEntity(new FileInputStream(file), -1);
reqEntity.setContentType("binary/octet-stream");
reqEntity.setChunked(true);
// Send in multiple parts if needed
httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
Log.d("finishing", "The try catch function");
} catch (Exception e) {
// show error
}*/
As you can see I have hardcoded a path to a specific image, this is to be dynamic when I get it up and running.
Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong? Am I leaving out something? I know I use setChunked and setContenttype - is there a setContent option?
Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thanks,
jr83.
You can use upload your image by sending multipart messages; you might find this discussion useful.
