How to upload Image and Video file using HttpPost in android

I need to upload Image and Video File with multiple parameters like File Name, Description , Height and Width using HttpPost method.

Thanks, Suggestion appreciated.

Answer 1

For uploading a file the efficient way is using HttpPost with multipart/form

Multipart/form The file contents are either stored in memory or temporarily on disk. In either case, the user is responsible for copying file contents to a session-level or persistent store as and if desired. The temporary storages will be cleared at the end of request processing

Refer this Upload Files from Android to a Website/Http Server using Post

Answer 2

try this code

  HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost post = new HttpPost(URL);

    MultipartEntity mpEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

    //Path of the file to be uploaded
    String filepath = params[0];
    File file = new File(filepath);
    ContentBody cbFile = new FileBody(file, SET_MIMETYPE);//"audio/basic"
    try {

        mpEntity.addPart(FILE_NAME, cbFile);
        post.setEntity(mpEntity);
        HttpResponse response1 = client.execute(post);
        HttpEntity resEntity = response1.getEntity();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
