Answer 1

public static boolean uploadImage(final byte[] imageData, String filename ,String message) throws Exception{

    String responseString = null;       

    PostMethod method;

    String auth_token = Preference.getAuthToken(mContext);


    method = new PostMethod("http://10.0.2.20/"+ "upload_image/" +Config.getApiVersion()
           + "/"     +auth_token); 

            org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient client = new              
                                        org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient();
            client.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setConnectionTimeout(
                            100000);

            FilePart photo = new FilePart("icon", 
                                                  new ByteArrayPartSource( filename, imageData));

            photo.setContentType("image/png");
            photo.setCharSet(null);
            String s    =   new String(imageData);
           Part[] parts = {
                            new StringPart("message_text", message),
                            new StringPart("template_id","1"),
                            photo
                            };

            method.setRequestEntity(new 
                                          MultipartRequestEntity(parts,     method.getParams()));
            client.executeMethod(method);
            responseString = method.getResponseBodyAsString();
            method.releaseConnection();

            Log.e("httpPost", "Response status: " + responseString);

    if (responseString.equals("SUCCESS")) {
            return true;
    } else {
            return false;
    }
}
