how to send image (bitmap) to server in android with multipart-form data json

Question

I have code to upload image to server and it works ,

HttpEntity resEntity;

                HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                        


        

Answer 1

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
byte[] imageBytes = baos.toByteArray();
String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(imageBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);

Then send this encodedImage as a String and in your server you will need to decode it in order to get the image itself.

Answer 2

*use three library
1.httpclient-4.3.6
2.httpcore-4.3.3
3.httpmime-4.3.6

            byte[] data = null;
            try {    
                String url = "http://andapp.freetings.in/testbyme.php?";
                HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url); 
                MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();

                if(imageBitmap!=null){
                    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                    imageBitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bos);
                    data = bos.toByteArray();
                    entity.addPart("uplod_img", new ByteArrayBody(data,"image/jpeg", "test2.jpg"));
                }
                // entity.addPart("category", new StringBody(categoryname,"text/plain",Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
                entity.addPart("category", new StringBody(catid,"text/plain",Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
                entity.addPart("your_contact_no", new  StringBody(phone,"text/plain",Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
                entity.addPart("your_emailid", new StringBody(email,"text/plain",Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
                entity.addPart("your_name", new StringBody(name,"text/plain",Charset.forName("UTF-8")));

                httppost.setEntity(entity);
                HttpResponse resp = httpclient.execute(httppost);          
                HttpEntity resEntity = resp.getEntity();
                String string=EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);
                //  Log.e("sdjkfkhk", string);
                return resEntity;
            } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
