In this code ,I am trying to send image to server alongwith timeline_id .timeline_id contains the value pk that is the primary key of the user stored in the database.I am not able to send image with timeline_id.I don't know where the actual problem is.Please help me to resolve the issue.

You can simple put the file part along with the text part using the class below.
String charset = "UTF-8";
String requestURL = BASE_URL + "userregistration";
MultipartUtility multipart = new MultipartUtility(requestURL, charset);
multipart.addFormField("username", userJid);
multipart.addFilePart("image", imageBitmap);//ima
String response = multipart.finish();
Log.d("SERVER REPLIED", response);
You can create an MultipartUtility class as follow-
public class MultipartUtility {
private final String boundary;
private static final String LINE_FEED = "\r\n";
private HttpURLConnection httpConn;
private String charset;
private OutputStream outputStream;
private PrintWriter writer;
/**
* This constructor initializes a new HTTP POST request with content type

this.charset = charset;

URL url = new URL(requestURL);
httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
httpConn.setUseCaches(false);
httpConn.setDoOutput(true); // indicates POST method
httpConn.setDoInput(true);
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary);
httpConn.setRequestProperty("api_key", "a05f9ece-cd34-11e4-afdc-1681e6b88ec1");
outputStream = httpConn.getOutputStream();
writer = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream, charset),
true);
}
/**

Send JSON and image with HttpURLConnection in android

i'm trying to send some data to a server. The server is waiting a json and an image. I tried with every example that i found but i couldn't send the data. Actually i'm sending the json params with a PrintWriter object, but it doesn't accept the image. I need to use HttpURLConnection not with the apache library. This is my piece of code working:
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
PrintWriter output = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
attachImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 40, stream);
byte[] imageData = stream.toByteArray();
String imagebase64 = Base64.encodeToString(imageData, Base64.DEFAULT);
Log.d(tag, "POST to " + url);
try{
URL url = new URL(this.url);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setRequestProperty(HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json; charset=utf-8");
connection.setRequestProperty(HTTP_USER_AGENT, mUserAgent);
connection.setRequestProperty(HTTP_HEADER_ACCEPT, "application/json; charset=utf-8");
connection.connect();
output = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
JSONObject jsonParam = new JSONObject();
jsonParam.put("oauth_token", params.get("oauth_token"));
jsonParam.put("rating", "1");
jsonParam.put("comments", "ASDASDASDASDASDASDAS");
Log.d(tag, jsonParam.toString());
output.print(jsonParam);
output.flush();
output.close();
Log.d(tag, connection.getResponseCode() + connection.getResponseMessage());
}catch(Exception e ){
}
When I try to send an image in json params, I receive an 500 internal error message.
Thanks!

Okay , as per my suggestion 2 ways to send image to server
use base 64 string
Direct upload to server
1.for base 64 go to below link
Android post Base64 String to PHP
2.for direct upload to server Please check below link
http://www.androidhive.info/2014/12/android-uploading-camera-image-video-to-server-with-progress-bar/
Happy coding !!

People! After a lot of day, i could upload an image to a server! I was reading this library, which is for a lot of uses. https://source.android.com/reference/com/android/tradefed/util/net/HttpMultipartPost.html
I downloaded the source code, and i took some clases to send an image. I send only bytes, which were encoded from ASCII. Thanks for the help!

Check this below code to send form data and zip file containing images or other any media files.

you can upload large jsonstring using buffer please use bellow code .
HttpsURLConnection connection = null;
OutputStream os = null;
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader isr = null;
try {
connection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
SSLContext contextSSL = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
contextSSL.init(null, new TrustManager[]{new DefaultTrustManager()}, new SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(contextSSL.getSocketFactory());
MySSLFactory(context.getSocketFactory()));
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new MyHostnameVerifier());
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setChunkedStreamingMode(0);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", auth);
connection.setConnectTimeout(timeoutMillis);
OutputStream os ;
if (input != null && !input.isEmpty()) {
os = connection.getOutputStream();
InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(input.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(stream, 8 * 1024);
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
int availableByte = 0;
while ((availableByte = bis.read(buffer)) != -1) {
os.write(buffer, 0, availableByte);
os.flush();
}
}
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();

HTTP 500 error code means a server-side error occured.
This has nothing to do with your code.
The server is having a bug, not your code.

application getting slower when getting data from service in KITKAT android version

The application is working good in lower than 4.4.2 version in android. when am running application in 4.4.2 version device application is very slow while getting/calling data from the web service.

Android HTTP POST file upload not working with HttpUrlConnection

I am trying to upload a file to a server via HTTP POST from my device. I have two method upload1 and upload2.
Upload1 uses the HttpPost class and it works, but with bigger files it throws out of memory exception.
Upload2 uses HttpURLConnection and it does not work. (I get BAD REQUEST message from the server.) I want upload2 to work, because it uses stream to send the data and throws no out of memory exception.
I looked at the packages in wireshark, the headers are seems to be the same, however the length with upload1 is 380, with upload2 is only 94. What could be the problem?
private void upload1(File file) {
try {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url + "?recname="

According to the Problems you are getting to upload the files. you should use Multipart mechanism to upload the files to server.
httpclient-4.1.jar
httpcore-4.1.jar
httpmime-4.1.jar
apache-mime4j-0.6.1.jar
For that you need to add couple of libraries into your project and use it for HTTP connection and file data.
private boolean uploadFile(File mFile) {
boolean success = true;
String filename = mFile.getName();
MultipartEntity data_to_send = new MultipartEntity(
HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
try {
data_to_send.addPart(
"name",
new StringBody(
filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf("/") + 1)));
data_to_send.addPart("fileData", new FileBody(mFile));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
String responseData = ConsumeWebService.sendRequest(data_to_send,
Global.BASE_URL + serviceUrl);
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(responseData)
|| responseData.equals(ConsumeWebService.ERROR_CODE)) {
success = false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
success = false;
e.printStackTrace();
}
return success;
}
public static String sendRequest(MultipartEntity data, String url) {
String response = "";
response = postData(url, data);
return response;
}
private static String postData(String url, MultipartEntity data) {
String strResponse = "";
try {
Log.d(Global.TAG, "Post URL is " + url);
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(data);
strResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost,
new BasicResponseHandler());
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
strResponse = ERROR_CODE;
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
strResponse = ERROR_CODE;
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
strResponse = ERROR_CODE;
e.printStackTrace();
}
return strResponse;
}

You can build by your own your POST Request by following this w3.org docs about forms.
I think in upload2 you are missing one lineEnd where you do:
....
outputStream.writeBytes("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"
+ lineEnd);
After this, you have to transmit the data and it takes two lineEnds before actual data, so it should be:
....
outputStream.writeBytes("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"
+ lineEnd + lineEnd);
For reading files and place them in multipart/form-data structure, I suggest you this way that works for me:
FileInputStream fileInputStream=new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] bytes= new bytes[fileInputStream.getChannel().size()];
fileInputStream.read(bytes);
fileInputStream.close();
outputStream.write(bytes);
outputStream.writeBytes(lineEnd);
Hope it helps.

problem in xml parsing in android

I am developing an android application in which i have to post some data to url.I did googling and got some samples.I tried them out.But i did not got the response as required.
Below is the link which i tried
http://www.androidsnippets.com/executing-a-http-post-request-with-httpclient
Has anyone done this before.If yes can he help me
Thanks in advance

I create a class with all my information I need to send and serialize it to a xml file with simple xml. Then I send the entire XML.
But you can send fields only too:

conn.setRequestProperty("Connection","Keep-Alive");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","multipart/form-data;boundary="+boundary);
conn.connect();
dataStream = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
//Send fields
writeFormField("name", "bla");
writeFormField("password", "bla");
