How do I send a file in Android from a mobile device to server using http?

Question

In android, how do I send a file(data) from a mobile device to server using http.

Answer 1

This can be done with a HTTP Post request to the server:

HttpClient http = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("MyApp");
HttpPost method = new HttpPost("http://url-to-server");

method.setEntity(new FileEntity(new File("path-to-file"), "application/octet-stream"));

HttpResponse response = http.execute(method);
