Android - I want to show file upload progress to the user

Question

I upload photo to the server via the default HttpClient in Android SDK. I want to show progress in the user interface, is there a way to find out how much has been uploaded?

Answer 1

Or you should use AsyncTask to do the actual process of file upload and use ProcessDialog to start and stop the process.

You can see this code, http://github.com/narup/mymobile/blob/master/pbdroid/src/com/example/android/skeletonapp/StoreListActivity.java i wrote to load the JSON data over HTTP and i use process dialog.

Main part of the code is :

 private class LoadStoresTask extends AsyncTask> {

@Override
protected List doInBackground(String... params) {
return WsiStoresClient.connect(params[0]);
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(List result) {
dismissDialog(BUSY_DIALOG_KEY);
}

}
