Using Google BlobStore with an Android application

Question

I found 1 thread about this question, which did partially answer the question, but I\'m afraid I may need some details.

I\'m currently trying to use BlobStore with m

Answer 1

I used the following and it worked.

This is an example if you post as gzip content:

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    GZIPOutputStream gzos = null;
    try {
        gzos = new GZIPOutputStream(baos);
        gzos.write(xml.getBytes());
    } finally {
        if (gzos != null)
            try {
                gzos.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
            }
    }

    byte[] fooGzippedBytes = baos.toByteArray();
    MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
    entity.addPart("name", new ByteArrayBody(fooGzippedBytes,"application/x-gzip", "filename"));

    httpPost.setEntity(entity);

Answer 2

Ok, after some search, here is the solution ;

It seems that headers are not working as I expected, so I just deleted them.

HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
entity.addPart("data", new ByteArrayBody(image,"image/jpeg","avatar.jpg"));
httppost.setEntity(entity);
response = httpClient.execute(httppost);
processResponse(response);
